I travel to Newport frequently on business and had stayed in the "point" area of Newport the month before in a rented house. When that rented house wasn't available, I stopped into this B&B one day and on a whim, booked 2 nights here based on the location. I was assured that they had wireless and I would have a... more

I've learned my lesson! I read the previous reviews and chose to ignore them because the inn's website looked so beautiful and it was in the perfect location. Stupid me! I don't even believe those rooms exist at this inn. Seriously. We had booked the Dolphin room which is right off the dining room. Yes, DIRECTLY off the dining room... more

We have just returned from an overnight here. They have a wonderful spot on the water, a great pool and deck area. We were able to stay here with our little dog - they have a few pet friendly rooms and we were given one on the lowest floor. The rate here was not cheap - $280 for the night... more

This is the only time I have ever taken the time to review any travel experience, which is a direct reflection of how much we appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Sanford Covell Bed and Breakfast. The owner of the establishment Ann was so pleasant over the phone and accomodating throughout our entire stay. The grounds are absolutely beautiful,... more

This is a great place to stay in Newport. Close to down town with a great sun set over the water. We enjoyed watching the sailboats race in the bay. The salt water pool and hot tub was the best - just need to get rid of a few ducks around the pool. The breakfast was simple but nice and... more

Like others have written....poorly kept but a beautiful setting and house. The hallway rugs were tattered and worn. There was mold on numerous things in our room. The bed linens were stained and damp because of the humidity. There were dusty fans but no A/C. Breakfast was simple- dry cereal, some muffins/ bagels, fruit and yogurt. Clutter and dust was... more

Great view, but you must get a room with a water view or it is not worth it. The owner was a wonderful gracious woman. Her staff ran hot and cold. The young man that met us was also wonderful, the women whom we saw on the second day and third days were just short of horrible. The house was... more

Very poor upkeep of what could be a beautiful historic victorian. Dusty, dirty, moldy, cluttered, rusted, cracked....the list goes on. We checked in and checked out within 30 minutes. Not worth the money or time. Stay at the Vanderbilt....gorgeous, clean and just amazing! more

Very cluttered...dusty...drained pool/hot tub...over-priced...worse than a cheap convenience store breakfast. Pool and Hot tub were drained which wasn’t mentioned be mgmt when booking. Breakfast consisted of store-bought bagels, cold cereal, muffins, and fruit. If one of the reasons you stay at a B&B is for the breakfast then stay away from this place. For the money you would spend here... more
