My husband & I along with two other couples stayed at the Armistead B&B the weekend of Feb. 16, we had a great time and enjoyed both the hospitality of both Romana and Charles; they were very intertaining, we enjoyed their stories, their house is
so comfortable. We felt we knew them for a long time. The breakfast's were very nice. We were always made to feel so welcomed.
It was 24 carat gold.........Romana has a room which is filled with all kinds of carrots, it's the carrot museum. Well we added to her
collection, we gave her the 2000 carrot for her room.
The location, the house & both Romana & Charle's knowledge of the area made our weekend very special and we will for sure return to Armistead Cottage.

My boyfriend and I were looking to spend New Year's Eve outside of Manhattan and remember Newport being quite beautiful from an earlier trip. All we really wanted was a cute B&B with a fireplace, Armistead Cottage gave us that along with an incredibly gracious hostess (Ramona) and amazing food (her breakfast offerings were very good). I especially loved that the rooms and bathroom (and entire house, for that matter) were spotless. She also provides free sodas, bottled water, and candy, which came in handy for those late night sugar cravings.

Wanting to celebrate 1st Night in Newport, we reviewed
several B&B's. We couldn't have made a better choice than
the Armistead Cottage. Owners Romana & Charles have
captured the essence of what makes for a relaxing, interesting
(check-out the carrot museum) & refreshing stay. We loved
our room- adorned with antiques, fireplace, & Victorian decor.
Even a heated towel-rack ( we enjoy being spoiled).
The delicious breakfast was a good start to the day- and a bonus was our fellow guests were great conversationalists.
Great B&B's attract like-minded travelers. Overall,
a top notch inn- one we will return to.

This was, hands down, the best bed and breakfast I've been to. Everything was just as I'd want it. Our hosts, Romana and Charles, were very friendly and extremely informative about the local attractions, restaraunts and activities. The breakfasts were superbly prepared and refreshigly different. Overall I really liked the fact that, due to the smaller size of Armistead, I truely felt at home..... Romana and charles were extremely attentive, but also did not invade our space. They were both there if you needed something, but never overbearing as some hosts can be. The carrot museum was quite funny, and Romana was kind enough to show us some of her stained glass work. I personally prefer b&b's because of the personal feel of the experience, as opposed to the commercial coldness of Hotels. This was a perfect example of the level of personal care that make b&b's worth staying in.
