    We attempted to shorten our stay from 5 nights to two and the ow er refused So we left and were charged!!! They suggested moving us to 3 different rooms 2 different rooms each night on the 1st floor and the. Back upstairs? Made no sense.!!! They would have had plenty of time to rerent the room ?

    Beautiful place right in the heart of Newport. Great food and snacks too.

    Without a doubt, we will be returning to the Francis Malbone Inn. A true gem. Location was perfect - an easy walk to the harbor and shopping or into town. Did I mention free and ample parking? Friendly and helpful staff!, the rooms were comfortable and immaculate. Amenities - the breakfast each morning was amazing. Coffee came out early followed by baked goods. Then a full breakfast with 2 choices was served at 8am. The lovely Sue sure made sure our breakfasts were memorable! Although they had a large dining room, we chose to eat outside in the garden. It was a popular location. In the afternoon, they serve a tea with savory and sweet treats. We really appreciated the rain umbrellas they included in the room (we needed to use it sadly). We had a room located off of the garden. It was quiet and peaceful.

    A terrific bed & breakfast with helpful staff and a great location in the heart of Newport.

    Charming bed and breakfast

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The room was too small, especially the bathroom. The floors are really squeaky so you could hear when the adjacent room was walking around anytime of day or night. Thin walls too so you hear others talking, etc. Great staff!, but I would not stay there again. It is definitely overrated.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    This is a gem of a boutique hotel. Clean as can be, beautifully decorated, terrific and sizable rooms, a great breakfast indoors or in a garden, wonderful afternoon tea, close to all of the downtown sites but quiet as can be, on-site parking an a truly terrific staff. We loved our stay here.

    Great

    The room can definitely use a little update. Our TV did not work, the AC was super old and loud and the room was a bit too small.
