We found this bed and breakfast in the AAA book a few years ago. We have stayed there 4 times now. The first time we stayed there by ourselves but each time since we have brought different family members and everyone has raved about the place and have said they can't wait to return for another visit. The last time... more

We were in New England for the fall foliage and touring around. We had booked for two nights at Melville House but added on an extra night - says it all! First of all to get free parking in such a central location which meant that almost everything was within walking distance and you could ditch the car was heaven.... more

We just had a very enjoyable 2 night stay at the Melville House. The inn is beautifully kept .Priscella and Bob (the owners) give attention to every detail. We stayed in room #7 which was decorated in a blue colonial motif. The room and in suite bathroom was immaculate. The common rooms are nicely decorated and cozy. Snacks, fruit and... more

I stayed in room #6 at the Melville for 2 nights in July. This was my first B&B experience. We usually stay at "unique" properties instead of chain hotels, but I was travelling alone and wanted to do something different as a treat. I loved every minute of my stay with Bob, Pricilla, and the dogs Emma and Hannah! The... more

The B'Fast is just like all others have raved about---VERY good, plenty of it---topped by a delicious hot entree'. Hosts are very accessible, knowledgable and helpful .They also offer a... more

The granola is homemade and they also sell bags of it, which I recommend! The Mooring restaurant was really good - we heard the lobster rolls were amazing and they were - probably... more

My husband, I and our close friends just got back from a very relaxing and fun weekend at The Melville House. We found them on their website and were pleasantly surprised when we got there. The hosts, Priscilla and Bob, made us feel right "at home." We especially enjoyed the decor of the 1750 Colonial Inn. The rooms were extremely... more

Great location, friendly hosts, nice rooms. Walking distance to tourist areas. Tasty breakfast and cookies in the afternoon. Very nice stay at the Melville House more

We loved our stay at the Melville House Inn. The room was lovely, with our own bath. The street is quiet. There's off-street parking, very important in Newport. The breakfasts are to die for. You won't need lunch. And the hosts are charming. Bob knows all about the history of the house and others on the quaint street. We plan... more
