Although we were here during the shoulder season (first week of April), we thoroughly enjoyed everything about our visit to Newport. The Clarkeston is a brillaint location just shy of being waterfront. Bearing in mind that the building isn't anything close to new, I felt like genuine effort has been put into the upkeep and we were well satisfied with... More

I've stayed at many B&B's over the years in Newport. This was my first visit back to Newport in 10+ years. The owners we very friendly and helpful and the location excellent. Our room had a very tired look to it. The ceiling was chipped, no hairdryer, ripped pillows on sofa and the sofa was all frayed and torn too.... More

Recently spent the weekend with the hubby and it was awesome!! The room was cozy and romantic. Fireplace really added a nice touch. Perfect location for walking all around Newport downtown. Rooms are quiet - never heard anyone else in the house. MJW

My husband and I were looking for a place to celebrate our 19th Wedding Anniversary...we couldn't have asked for a more romantic place in the Clarkeston. When we arrived Rick the owner welcomed us and genuinely wanted to make our stay the best we had ever experienced. It had been a few years since we had stayed at the Wynstone... More

We stayed at The Clarkeston Inn for two nights and didn't want to leave on our last morning. We had excellent service the entire time, starting with a confirmation phone call before we arrived, asking if we preferred our room to be on the warmer or cooler side. We arrived to a very warm welcome from Rick, who gave us... More

We stayed in Room#1 - The Doris Duke Room. Strike #1: Basic needs were not met - room was really cold when we first arrived and it took about 3-4 hours for it to warm up after we found the thermostat in the adjacent dining room which was turned down to 59 degrees. Then we discovered that the bathroom heater... More

We decided to get away for a weekend in Jnauary when we heard the weather would be warm. We have been to Newport numerous times for day trips but decided to try a Bed and Breakfast. The owner, Rick, was very helpful and assured us we could reserve a room with a fireplace. We were glad there were pictures of... More

First of all, the location is terrific. Just a block away from Thames Blvd, so no need to use the car for in town entertainment. This B&B is a historic house and one of a group called The Inns of Newport. Check in for the Clarkeston is across the street at the Cleveland House. Checking in takes place in the... More

Our stay at the Clarkeston was pretty Good. When we first got there we were sent to a room that was actually occupied so they might have felt embarrassed and offered us a free upgrade, what was not bad at all. The b&b is perfectly located, within a walking distance for everything (except the beaches) and they also offer you... More
