Yes, this place has a good location. That is the most I can say for it. I could not get over how dirty this place was. I was all set for a shower the morning after a wedding. I almost didn't get in. The shower curtain had mold growing on it. The tub itself looked like it had seen much... more

Stayed one night. Had the "Grace" room, which is very small with a King Sized bed (2 twins together). The room was adequate for me - fairly quiet (it was in the back - the rooms direectly on Spring surely have a lot of car noise), no view to speak of, small but adequate bathroom with stall shower, a somewhat... more

My husband and I first stayed at the artful lodger years back for our anniversary. All I can say is we simply love the Inn Keepers! They are warm, engaging, fun-loving, kind and accommodating. The home is centrally located, clean and the view is beautiful. The breakfasts have always been delicious and unique. We love B&B's and have stayed in... more

My wife and I had never stayed in Newport so we chose the Artful Lodger based on an online review of the available B&B's there. It turned out that the location was perfect. It was a short walk to the Elms mansion and to the center of the historical district and very close to the Cliff Walk. There were some... more

We have stayed at the Artful Lodger on several visits to Newport, and have always had a wonderful experience. The rooms are pleasant and the food is great! Ric has given us great recommendations for dining and shopping. We're having our wedding in Newport next Spring and the Artful Lodger is at the top of our list of B &... more

If you are looking for a great B&B experience, the Artful Lodger is the place to start. It is cozy, clean (Karin is very picky about that) and within walking distance to Thames and Bellevue Aves. Ric and Rose provide a warm, hospitable feeling. Their breakfasts, in a beautiful room on the 3rd floor with a view of the bay,... more
