Great location near the Cliff walk, excellent breakfast , and great atmosphere. The historical touches were well done, and our room was marvelous. Fantastic service too!

Enjoyed out time in the Cliff Suite! The jetted tub was very appreciated after miles of walking along the Cliff Walk and mansions. We had wonderful sleep under the skylight, especially as it started to drizzle in the night.

Lovely B&B Inn within 15 walking distance to areas of interest. Even with the rain for our entire stay, we had a very enjoyable time. Love the gas fireplace provides heat for the room.

For this price the bedding is substandard, bed had little support, foam pillows and the sheets are bamboo or some other kind of blend.

Beautiful historic property. Lovely grounds. Comfortable, immaculate room/ bed, gorgeous common areas. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast before heading down the block to the Cliff Walk. Convenient to the cliffside mansions, an easy trip to main shopping and dining areas.

The Tower Suite is a special place. Private entrance, two floors, and a private parking space. Respectfully, my wife and I weren’t there to mingle with other guests and loved the privacy. A stones throw from cliff walk access. We covered 17 miles in 2 days on foot between the cliff walk and our strolls into downtown Newport which is roughly 3/4 mile. Our car didn’t move until we regrettably headed back to reality…

Everything was great. Quaint. Room wasn’t ready as I booked early in the morning. This would have been all 5’s, but they did not have the personnel to accommodate the room to be ready until 5PM.

Lovely historical property right off the cliff walk in a quiet neighborhood. Accomodations were wonderful, great breakfast and afternoon wine and snacks. Can walk into town and yet out of the hustle and bustle of the crowds

A very quaint adorable property with a great location near cliff walk and not far from Thames street and the Warf. Staff was excellent and the breakfast was delicious. We stayed in the Tower room. Nice view from there but the bed on the other hand was terrible. That needs to be replaced as soon as possible. The bathroom was downstairs which was a little inconvenient in the middle of the night. Otherwise, the place was lovely.

Such a wonderful unique Inn to stay at - we really enjoyed so many of the little extras that the staff provided - from the wine hour, to snacks and cookies and drinks available at all times and the fire pit outside. The entrance to the Cliff walk was just at the bottom of the hill on the Inn's road. Wonderful stay!

The garden suite was magical! Everything was so easy, clean and homey. This was fabulous. Had one spooky encounter — honestly it added to the experience. We’ll be back :)

Lovely staff and the house had lots of character, plus ocean view and proximity to Cliff Walk. Enjoyed the library, grounds, availability of tea and snacks as well as wine hour and nicely prepared breakfast. Overall, the property had been well restored and updated. But there were places in the room I stayed in where paint was noticeably chipping, and the towels are way past their prime. Expected a little more attention to details and amenities in the room from a place that basically does everything else really well. A nice place to stay, and I'd consider staying again, just think they could make a few small upgrades to make it a higher-quality experience.

A gem. Perfect location right at the start of the Cliff Walk. We had the Lark room: next to the main house, quiet and private, charming, comfortable bed, gas fireplace, partial sea view, big bathroom with shower and jacuzzi tub. Wine and snacks between 5 and 6 pm offered in the quaint lounge, small but great and delicious choice of self service buffet breakfast. The best place we stayed at in the US.

The Cliff Side Inn is beautiful, clean and each room is unique. The location at the cliff walk is perfect. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is a bonus.

wonderful stay in Blue Room. Amazing soft sheets, lovely rain head shower, fireplace created great ambience & gave out great heat. Peekaboo water view from the window seat was a wonderful, unexpected surprise. Enjoyed the sweeter breakfast options. Great location. Unfortunately there was a house under construction directly across the street which created an early noisy start to the day during our Feb 2024 stay, but such is life!

We had a delightful experience at the Cliffside Inn recently. The room was charming; tastefully decorated and very clean. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The breakfasts were quite tasty, and having a happy hour nightly in one of the fireplaced living rooms was a nice touch. Located close to the Cliff Walk and the Mansions and Newport Art Museum was a bonus.

My partner and I came here for a mini getaway to celebrate his birthday. We chose the loft room because of the main photo on their site showing the skylights above the bed. I was super excited about that feature however upon arrival we were escorted to our room only to be told that the skylights above the bed are under repair and will not be functional during our stay. I was quite disappointed but what was I going to do? I had already paid close to $1000 for 2 nights and didn’t have any other options at that point. I do feel that this should have been repaired prior to our arrival or a discount for the inconvenience or even a different room option should have been offered. The individual that checked me in actually came to tell me that they needed to charge my card an extra penny, lol. They are worried about a penny instead of making sure everything is functional for their guests! What a joke! The bed frame appears to be too big for the mattress because the frame oddly sticks out at the bottom end of the bed, I bumped my legs on it multiple times just walking by and have some serious bruising on both legs because of it.
The water pressure in the bathroom was extremely low and the whirlpool bath took forever to fill up. The bed wasn’t comfortable at all, quite hard. The pillows did make it somewhat tolerable. We definitely had trouble falling asleep. I did get quite the workout going up and down the inn stairs to the room, lol. Also the room never gets truly dark.

The Cliffside is a beautiful property with a Gilded Age charm. The staff was welcoming and professional. The amenities were great and outdoor fire pit area was a bonus.

We had the most romantic getaway weekend at Cliffside. The service was amazing, and the property is beautiful! I must get the recipe for the cookies and the name of the bed linens. Both were wonderful!

The inn is an old house near the Cliff Walk. The rooms are large and our bathroom was huge. Breakfast was done in an intersting way wih little pre-served portions of a wide varietyof foods, all of which were terrific. Staff was super friendly.
