I have to write a review after reading the two negative ones which had to have been a misunderstanding. I can't see Nick or Brian purposefully not being there to welcome them in! My fiance and I arrived at Inn Bliss rather late, at about 10:45 PM. Nick was there with a smile and open arms. Yes, you can't wear shoes upstairs, but if that's the only negative tidbit, who cares!
Nick was even ready to give us options in case we wanted to go out for a drink or buy a bottle of wine. Our room, Lucretia's room was great. There was a walk in closet complete with robes and board games. There was even a small cd player with soothing music. The bathroom was in the hallway,but it was beautiful. There was a nice sized shower, plus separate tub. I don't know about the other review mentioning no shampoo, but I could have sworn the bathroom had it. Plus, they provided great soap, body wash and lotion.
The next morning AMAZING apple pancakes were served in a beautiful dining room.(We tried to make them at home but couldn't quite get it right!) Nick told us about some of Newport's history and gave us a detailed map. He provided us not only with directions but great suggestions of where to go. Nick was extremely personable, friendly, and of course, a gracious host. Later we met Brian and liked him just as much!
Inn Bliss has a great location, within walking distance to the Main St. area yet far enough so it is cozy and quaint.
We went to Newport Vineyards (SPECTACULAR WINES, large variety, this coming from a Long Island wine snob) and Greenvale Wineries (didn't like the wine as much but beautiful). We also walked around near Main St. and shopped. One of the best parts of the day was doing the BEAUTIFUL Cliff Walk. You could spend two hours taking pictures. Oh, and right up the street from the inn is probably one of Newport's greatest kept secrets, a used book store! We each walked out with a dozen books for next to nothing.
There are many restaurants to choose from. We went to Elizabeth's for dinner. It is a BYOB family style restaurant, 4 stars, very unique and tasty.
The next morning another wonderful breakfast was served. Before leaving Nick took our picture to put in the Inn Scrapbook. We loved Inn Bliss and will probably be returning this April. Any questions, feel free to email!
