Everything about The Francis Malbone House was amazing. The location is in the middle of bustling Thames Street full of shops and restaurants while the Inn itself is tranquil and private. The breakfasts were amazing and the staff was friendly and helpful. My husband and I hope to visit again soon.

10/10 Exceptional

The property is very nice, well kept and an extremely incredible staff. The breakfast is amazing and changes daily. A favorite and I haven’t seen other places do to this extent is afternoon eats. They put out a spread that is made from scratch with dips, sweets, and even had foot long hotdogs on the 4th of July. Highly recommend this place and look to stay hear every time we visit Newport.
Peter, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a beautiful property in the best traditions of historic New England B&Bs but stands out due to the fantastic welcome and friendliness of the team. The excellent daily afternoon tea - in reality an irresistible selection of sweet and savoury snacks - is a very welcome bonus. Would not hesitate to recommend the Francis Malbone House.
