we needed a quick get away from family and kids. Bryan and Fran were phenomenal. We loved how close they were to down town and the rooms were elegant. The harbor views were mesmorizing and the breakfast was worth waking up for. We had such a nice time. It was the perfect way to recharge our batteries!! We cant wait to come back in the summer...see you soon

My husband and I had a great stay at the Sarah Kendall House in Newport. We stayed in the beautiful Tower suite with excellent views and lots of space.

Breakfast was very pleasant - a real group affair!

It was very peaceful sitting on the porch drinking wine in the evening.

The town was within a few minutes walk which was ideal.

The owners were pleasant and available if required but not intrusive.

We would not consider staying anywhere else if we return to Newport.

My husband and I stayed at the Sarah Kendall House this July and found it to be a true disappointment. While the gardens are lovely and the downstairs public rooms are nicely decorated, our room (Point Garden) was dark and dank, not the light-filled room depicted on the website. The air conditioner was very noisy and prevented us from sleeping. The bathroom was tiny, the shower tile cracked, the shower curtain mildewed at bottom. The sheets were ancient, unironed and unmatched (!) For what we were paying (upwards of $220 when tax was included) this was not what we expected.

The most distressing part of the stay were the terrible hosts. The innkeepers were largely unseen and, when they were (at breakfast in the mornings, for example) they were short and curt. No effort was made to make our stay pleasant.

The Sarah Kendall House is conveniently located, but this is all. Food was mediocre, rooms poor, service terrible. Stay elsewhere, perhaps up above Thames Street where innkeepers will truly treat you as their guests.

we stayed at the Sarah Kendall House with our family during July and had an unbelievable stay, the property was meticulous and we would highly recommend it to others. Thanks for a great stay and nice vaca!
