Samuel Durfee House B&B

Beautiful, comfortable, house. Right near the water and central to everything. Beyond that, the hosts are so welcoming that we felt like friends/family right from the first moment. And the food. Oh my goodness. We had breakfast three days and it was exceptional each day. The next time I come to Newport this will be where I stay.

My husband and I went to this wonderful Inn in May to beat the crowds The Inn its self is charming with very old world period Furniture in this late 1800s Inn. We had a room with a king sized bed and sheets/bedding/pillows very comfortable. Loved the Very soft/comfy robe in the rooms. They serve a very nice breakfast (bacon was fab!) in a charming Dining room. The couple who run the Inn couldn’t be nicer. Inn was clean quiet and just what we wanted and a quick walk to downtown Newport. We will definitely be going back to this beautiful Inn in Rhode Island. And they also offer off street parking which is important in Newport. You will NOT b disappointed. Enjoy!

My husband and I spent 2 nights at the Samuel Durfee House in October. We had a comfortable room with a very cute outside deck! The breakfasts were absolutely fantastic. Michael and Heather were very friendly and gracious hosts. The location of the inn was so convenient! We were able to walk easily to shops, great restaurants, and to the meeting point for our mansion tour on the Newport Travel Trolley Tours! It was so convenient to park the car and not worry about traffic in town!

This bed and breakfast was perfect! My wife and I just spent a long weekend there and we both loved it! The innkeepers Heather and Michael were awesome! They both made the stay a fantastic experience! Breakfast was incredible! We stayed in the Perry Room which was beautiful and very clean. The room is set in the back of the house so it is nice and quiet. The house itself is located on spring street which is perfectly located one block back from Thames street. Thames street is the busy main street of Newport. Close enough to walk to it but far away from the commotion. There is a spacious parking lot that is onsite with plenty of space. We will definitely return to this AMAZING bed and breakfast!

Awesome visit great care and wonderful breakfast Location was perfect as well Who could ask for more Decor was fabulous Quiet street Outside sitting areas to take advantage of Would recommend to anyone

My wife and I visited Newport for a weekend getaway, and we wanted something different from the waterfront hotels, something quiet, comfortable, and charming. Samuel Durfee House definitely fit the bill! The building was full of historic charm and period decor (be ready for small closets and floor boards that creak when you get up in the middle of the night), but it also included modern touches that helped make it very comfortable (recently renovated bathroom, flat panel TV on the wall). We stayed in the Harrison Suite on the first floor and really enjoyed the small sitting room attached to the bedroom -- it was convenient to have a place to sit and read with a cup of coffee while waiting for my wife to wake up. Our hosts were delightful and friendly, quick to help with information or something for the room, happy to chat as much or as little as guests like and with plenty of local knowledge. Breakfast each morning was amazing, with a freshly baked morning bread or pastry to start and then a full meal accompanied by tea, coffee, and juices. We devoured everything they cooked for us, and the blueberry pancakes I had our first morning were possibly the best pancakes I've had in my life. The house is just one block up from Thames avenue, so there is easy walking access to tons of shops and restaurants, and it's a short walk to the waterfront and the wharves. There is a bit of traffic on Spring Street, but despite that the house itself was very quiet and peaceful for our stay. I would highly recommend anyone stay here on a visit to Newport.
