Sarah Kendall House

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Sarah Kendall House during our recent road trip through New England. Of all our inns across Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, this was our favorite. Our room was charming, clean, comfortable and spacious, and the overall house and garden were warm and welcoming. Bryan, Fran and their team were kind and hospitable, giving us great suggestions for things to do, not just during our stay in Newport but also onto our next location. Breakfast was a full spread of delicious options -- hot, cold, savory and sweet. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my stay at the Sarah Kendall House. Perfect location with a stunning view of the water. I felt welcomed the moment I walked in, and Mary fixed a bountiful and delicious breakfast. I will absolutely be back!

We were warmly welcomed by Bryan, the owner, who gave us a brief tour of the Inn, shared its history, and offered brandy and cookies. Our room—the Isaac Room—was spacious and elegant, featuring a plush king bed, oversized bathroom with a large shower, a cozy gas fireplace, and windows overlooking Newport’s charming harbor and historic streets. Breakfast in the beautifully decorated dining room included fresh fruit, bagels, muffins, and a delicious homemade spread with pancakes, eggs, bacon, and French toast. The Inn’s ideal location makes exploring town easy, with downtown just steps away. We’re already looking forward to returning and experiencing their festive Christmas décor.

Unbelievable experience! Located a short walk to downtown Newport. Most gorgeous rooms and yard. They upgraded us for free, our room had its own private balcony. BEST bnb breakfast I’ve experienced- full spread on the table + they offered to make us eggs, bacon, anything we wanted. Also one of the best prices in Newport. People who worked there were so lovely. I HIGHLY recommend and will most definitely be back!

We had a fun weekend in Newport, and the Sarah Kendall House is close to restaurants and shops. When we checked in, we were directed to climb several flights of stairs to our room (the website does mention it's on the 3rd floor, just be ready to carry your own bags if you've booked the Hideaway). If there's no space in the adjacent parking area, you'll get a pass that will allow you to park on the street; we had no trouble getting a spot directly in front of the B&B. There were chocolate chip cookies available in the main house, and a Keurig. There's no guest happy hour or other nibbles, but we weren't looking for that anyway. Bottled water was provided in the mini-fridge located in the room closet, and was replaced during our stay.||The Hideaway room has a very, very firm mattress and pi
