“The perfect B&B”

Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

Sometimes people gush over how good movies are, andI tend to be disappointed when I leave the theater because my expectations were so high. This also occasionally happens to me with very positive reviews on Tripadvisor. I am VERY happy to report that Cliffside Inn met every single high expectation I had going in. I am a pretty harsh critic,... More

“Couldn't be better”

Reviewed 12 June 2013

My wife Katherine and I spent three great days at the Cliffside Inn during the first week in June. Owners Nancy and Bill are attentive, personable and just good people whose main concern is the comfort of their guests. The same can be said about the staff. Right away, you get the feeling that you are visiting old friends. Our... More

Katherine and Albert, We are so glad that you left your small island for a few days on our just slightly bigger island.

“Perfect weekend getaway!”

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the Cliffside Inn. Nancy and Bill are gracious hosts in their beautifully renovated Victorian Mansion. The breakfast was amazing- bananas foster French toast, eggs quesadilla and fruit waffles; homemade granola, yogurt, fresh fruit and homemade muffins. Eggs prepared any way you like is offered. At 5pm Wine and tapas style hor'doeuves are... More

Thank you for that wonderful review. We had such a great time with the two of you. The fire pit really is a wonderful way to end the day. This time of year it really becomes a gathering spots for guests to share their daily adventures. I am so glad that you had a "perfect weekend getaway" and do hope... More

“Paradise in Newport”

Reviewed 10 June 2013

My wife and I had the recent pleasure of celebrating our 30th anniversary at the Cliffside Inn, and we could not have chosen a better place. We've stayed at several bed and breakfast's over the years but this surpassed all expectations. This Victorian mansion was fully restored and the attention to detail is quite apparent. The Garden Suite with oversized... More

“Everything you could want”

Reviewed 4 June 2013

My friend and I had a girls getaway weekend at the Cliffside Inn. If only all hotels/inns could be this wonderful. Nancy and Bill couldn't have been nicer - it was like staying with family. The food was absolutely delicious. Breakfast is free and shouldn't be missed. They also host happy hour with snacks at 5pm - very high quality.... More

We had such a great time getting to know you both. I can't believe we were at Georgetown Law School at the same time. I'm sure our paths must have crossed there. It was so much fun chatting with both of you. I think it is great that you plan these getaways. What a great break from your very busy... More

“Lovely stay at the Cliffside”

Reviewed 3 June 2013

My husband and I spent this past weekend at the inn to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We had a fabulous time. The Tower Suite was absolutely perfect...2 levels, private entrance and parking and a turret with water views. The inn and grounds are beautiful and in a quiet location close to the Cliff Walk. The breakfasts and evening hors d'oeuvres... More

Great setting, beautiful house, unique rooms, accommodating and friendly owners and staff. We had a very enjoyable stay. Being steps from the Cliff Walk is great. Breakfast was very good. We wish we could have stayed longer.

It was great having you both here for the birthday celebration. We are so glad you enjoyed the Garden Suite and it was nice getting to know you both at breakfast. I hope everything worked out with the wheel well in your car. I don't think that piece of plastic is important, but you never know and you had a... More

The room was beautiful, from the decor to the fireplace, the spacious bathroom and the view - we would have been happy staying in all weekend! We did,... More

“very good”

Reviewed 30 May 2013

Lovely place a short walk to the cliff walk and a long walk to Newport's touristy destinations like the downtown shopping/dining area and the mansions. My husband didn't really like that our bathroom was on a different floor from the bedroom, but it was great bathtub.

We are glad that you enjoyed yourself at the Cliffside Inn and thank you for writing a review. The inn is located just over a mile from the Wharf/downtown area, and most people find it a pleasant walk. In the future, there are plenty of cabs and pedicabs that we can call as an alternative to walking or driving. The... More

“Beautiful Accommodations”

Stayed here for the long Memorial Day weekend and we were lucky to get a last minute room - it was their last room so it was pricier than we intended but the room was gorgeous and was well worth it. The inn keepers are super nice and accommodating and the location is great - just a few second walk... More
