The Sarah Kendall House was a delightful part of our short stay in Newport. The entire house is gorgeous, and our room was amazing from the size, beauty and comfort of the bedroom and bathroom to the window view of the harbor. Breakfast was a feast of delicious foods. The location was excellent, within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. Only negative was that we couldn't stay longer. Thanks to all at the Sarah Kendall House who made our one night in Newport absolutely perfect!

The Sarah Kendall House is a beautiful historic home in walking distance to shopping and restaurants. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch with a view of the harbor while watching the sunset. Our room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. The owner and his son were friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast was outstanding! Made to order eggs, pancakes, French toast, bacon, sausage. Plus, a table with bagels, muffins, fruit and juices. We highly recommend the Sarah Kendall House!

You must stay here! The breakfast was delicious, the room exceeded my expectations for a vintage inspired B&B, and the gardens were stunning.
So close to the water, shops and restaurants. And the owners were attentive and informative. Parking is free but you have to find your own street parking and you get a pass to put in your windshield for overnight.

This is a a true gem. We were greeted by the owner, who gave us a brief history and tour of the inn. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was superb - eggs and bacon cooked to order, and a wonderful spread of fruits, bagels, yogurt, juice and coffee. The inn is located within walking distance of the transit center and waterfront, so there was no need to drive our car anywhere. It was a very warm and inviting experience, and we will definitely be back.

The grounds are heavily planted with flowers and shrubs, nice to look at.
Breakfast was exceptional, and attractively presented, with a large variety of fresh fruits, baked goods, wonderful bagels,
The hosts will cook to order as well.
All in all, I would recommend a stay

Bed was very uncomfortable. Big dip in middle of the mattress. Wifi was poor.

While a lot of the reviews for this B&B are excellent, I can only comment about my experience concerning customer service. I bought a night for my parents, and unfortunately they were unable to stay. Although the night in question was after the cancellation window, we tried to at least move the date - understanding that we would have to pay the difference. The woman who my mother spoke with us extremely rude and seemingly unwilling to help. The first thing she said was, “Well you are going to lose your money.” Again, we understood that we would have to pay more - which I was happy to do so that my parents could enjoy themselves. She claimed we had not tried to call her previously - this was a flat out lie. We called and left a message, as did Hotels.com. I understand a policy is a policy, but the way in which this was handled reflected very poorly on her and the B&B as a whole. Based solely on that interaction I would not recommend staying here.

Bryan, Fran and Mary were all great. I was on crutches during my stay, and they were more than accommodating. Lovely room, great views. Delicious breakfast both mornings, with fresh fruit, bagels, juice, coffee and a main dish. Walking distance to downtown, even on crutches!

Really nice B&B with some old world charm , great antique decor on a quiet street. Breakfast was excellent with fresh OJ, all kinds of fruit, bagels, muffins, and egg and cheese omelet. Price was very reasonable. I would contact the owners Bryan and Fran directly for more information and details about the place. Overall a very nice experience

My husband and I took a three week New England tour and the Newport stop was a part of it. Tours of the Mansions and the waterfront were wonderful. Our stay at the Saran Kendall House was perfect.

This was a Sisters getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is filled with antiques and the house itself is an antique! Meticulously maintained, our every need met. Breakfast was fabulous, the bagels and muffins from the owners own bagel shop. Be sure to take the hike upstairs to the widows walk tower to enjoy spectacular views! It is in a great location to enjoy all the sites, many even in walking distance. We also loved her cookies always set out with coffee and Hersheys kisses and the warm inviting livingroom with fireplace going and brandy awaiting you. I will definitely come back!

We only had a quick overnight but the hospitality was great. Mary helped us find a nice dinner spot and Bryan helped us put an order to our one day of sightseeing. Breakfast was sumptuous and the climb to the Tower Room worth all those steps with that beautiful harbor view.

My wife and I came to Newport for a short vacation. We loved the Sarah Kendall house! Extremely well appointed, quaint, Victorian home in walking distance to downtown Newport. Bryan and Fran were fantastic hosts, gave great restaurant recommendations as well as insightful recommendations regarding things to do while in Newport. We followed their recommendations and had a great time! Breakfast is included, and was fantastic! Fresh fruit, muffins, yogurt, eggs, bacon, pancakes and waffles, all prepared as per your wishes and wonderfully fresh and delicious. We will definitely be coming back. Please make sure that you catch the gorgeous sunsets 1/2 block a way on the dock. Also note, you can park your car in the driveway and avoid getting ticketed!
Room Tip: ask for the third floor room overlooking the ocean

We were not in the house, but we had to walk to the side of the house and walk 34 steps to get to our room.
The room was cozy. Breakfast was okay, we had to ask for things.

Great B&B with a wonderful view, within walking distance to anything you need in downtown Newport. Bryan, the owner, gave us wonderful suggestions about local places to eat, things to go see while in Newport.....and put on a breakfast spread that knocked our socks off both days (every kind of fruit imaginable, wonderful bagels, muffins, coffee, juices - AND bacon, french toast and/or eggs & potatoes!
We stayed during the week - and so were upgraded to the best suite in the house....
Can't say enough about how you will enjoy your stay here....you come in from being out and Bryan is asking if you want a beer!

Bryan is a great host and house is in a wonderful location Quiet neighborhood and close to town and visitor center so getting around is a breeze
