Warm and relaxing vacation and Just what I needed :) Stayed in the Peach Suite this time and hadn't slept better since I stayed in the Green Suite last fall. Added bonus to the Peach Suite is the extra living room. Both suites I stayed in have very large and EXREMELY comfortable beds!!! The fact that you can walk to... More

We had an amazing time staying at Thames House in the Blue Suite. It was our first time in Newport and Pat made us feel extremely welcome and gave us so much info on what to do and where to go. Her and her daughter were so hospitable and made us feel like we were staying with family. The continental... More

The negative points made by the reviewer freewingy below are somewhat factually correct, but I could put a different spin on it. I like staying with relatives, even if I have to spend $250, so I guess our perspectives are different. The owners are warm people. They have guests who have been visiting for over a decade; they even attended... More

This B&B made our stay in Newport (and holiday in New England for that matter), and I can't say enough good things about it. Gary and Pat made my mum and I feel right at home and were great company as well as sources of information on what to do/avoid in Newport. We stayed in the Blue Suite, which was... More

Its like staying with your relatives but having to pay $250 for it. We had a 'private' bath room in a common hallway, which was interesting. The owners stay at the house year round so when you return late or wake up you hear the family around the house. I am not fussy about where I sleep but i have... More

We were sorry to hear that you felt that your stay with us was less than satisfactory. We feel that our prices are in line with (or less than) most comparable establishments in the area. As an owner-occupied and operated establishment, we take pride in our availability to respond to our guests' needs. As in many historic houses, most bathrooms... More

My girlfriend and I stayed in the Blue Suite room for a long weekend in August that coincided with the Newport Beer and Wine Festival. After renting from a different property for the last few years, we decided to try a new place, and are so glad we did. The Blue Suite provided plenty of room for the two of... More

Thames house guest house, was very quaint and well located in the old part of Newport & 5 minute walk to the pier area. Our hosts were wonderful and respected our privacy and intimacy but were always available when we needed their suggestions. A great place to discover Newport from !

This guest house is an extremely warm and friendly environment. The owners of the house greet you whenever you come in and treat you like family. I really felt like I was staying with friends or family rather than a guest house. The home was very clean, the breakfast was nice, they had a nice variety of food and the... More
