We have had the pleasure of staying at the Francis Malbone House on many occasions. After several stays at various Inns and Beds and Breakfasts in the area, we cannot reccommend this Inn more highly. Once discovered, we would never consider staying any place else. The Inn itself is convenveniently located to all, charming and inviting throughout and just about the most pleasant place we have ever had the pleasure to visit. The Inn is beautiful; each room decorated in a magestic yet inviting manner and impeccably presented. We have stayed in many of the offered rooms and each experience has been a real treat. The common areas are cozy and inviting, where you can make fast friends with other guests or chose to relax and unwind privately. And get ready for many tasty treats...From the delicious and generous gourmet breakfasts to the enchanting afternoon tea and goodies banquets, your tastebuds will dance with delight. What makes your experience at this Inn all the more enchanting is the friendly, receptive, accomodating and detail oriented staff. We wish we could take each and every one home with us. The website reveals that the Inn is a Five Star Diamond Award Destination ~ but surely we would bestow them with a Six!

My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary at the Francis Malbone House in Newport. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome and comfortable. We loved our room which was beautiful. The bed linens were crisp and cozy. The rooms were very clean. We loved all the sitting rooms where we could relax by the fireplace. My favorite part was the afternoon tea every day at 3:00 with lots of delicious treats and coffee. The breakfast was always delicious - pumpkin pancakes one morning! I love the great location, we walked to dinner every night - the greatest restaurants! I did a lot of eating in Newport and did not have a bad meal. We will definately go back to the Francis Malbone House and would recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely elegant inn. Tea in the afternoon and great breakfast that we ate in the garden. Our room and bathroom were definitely on the small side, but very well appointed. Linens and towels were luxurious. Parking was easy. The location is in the heart of the old part of Newport and it is easy to walk around and leave the car in the parking lot.

We have just returned from a delightful three day stay at the Francis Malbone.
From the moment we entered the property we felt 'at home'.The staff were very friendly and helpful as was the owner.Our room was on the third floor and had everything we required, good bed, bathrobes, iron and board.We heard no noise from the street below and slept with the side window open ( much fresher than a/c).
The breakfasts were delicious as was the afternoon tea- forget about your diet!
We would love to return here as everthing was perfect.
