Charlie and Anita, New Jersey

We were so lucky to have chosen the Armistead Cottage from the dozens of B & Bs, inns, and hotels in Newport. Our room was cozy, charming, and immaculate--as was the entire cottage. The three course breakfasts were phenomenal! Not only is Romana a wonderful chef, but she's a fun, easy-going, and accommodating host. She is also very knowledgeable and answered all of our 'tourist' questions. Her tips made navigating Newport so much easier. Romana and Charles have made their home very welcoming--from the warm decor, to the in-room fireplaces, and the dish of cookies and mints that were waiting for us every day! There were so many extra 'touches' that added to our perfect stay. The cottage is close to all the Newport attractions, but just far enough away from 'downtown' that you are able to enjoy a peaceful stay. We enjoyed our stay so much that there is no need to look for any other accommodations when we visit Newport again. We would most definitely return, and will recommend the Armistead Cottage to family and friends.

This was our first stay at a B&B. My husband and I had avoided B&B’s due to some anxiousness regarding sharing a home with other guests and the host/hostess. Ramana, our hostess, was so comfortable in her skin, that there was never a single moment of awkwardness. Our experience was totally favorable, creating a very high standard by which to measure other B&B stays in the future. Ask about "Charles Sightings," witnessed by only one of us.

What a delightful surprise! While I have always enjoyed a good B&B, my boyfriend was very hesitant about staying here. We had a great time exploring the city of Newport. We were within walking distance to most parts of town and a very short drive to all other areas of interest. The furnishings are gorgeous, the owners were fun and very helpful to ensure a great time was had by all. This city has something going on ALL the time. Very impressed. Thanks Romana & Charles!

If you want a nice personal experience when visiting Newport, RI then book a stay at the Armistrad Cottage B&B. The owners are warm and friendly. The atmosphere is very inviting. The location is convenient. The rooms are well-furnished and interesting as is all the house and you will get to see the fabulous "Carrot Museum" put together by Romana. It's a knockout with about 2000 items. And Romana is tons of fun. All of the above and the price is right to boot. In short, my wife and I had a wonderful stay with Romana and her husband. But don't expect eggs for breakfast as you will have three courses far more interesting.
