I wasn't sure what to expect as ratings seemed either terrible or excellent. I was very pleasantly surprised and discovered that the "white elephant" or "black sheep" that Belcourt castle is considered as not as good as the other mansions is nonsense. I live on Aquidneck Island and have been to the majority of the mansions in Newport. Belcourt Castle... More

We have been to Newport several times and have wanted to see Belcourt Castle but it was always at a time of year that it wasn't open. This visit it was and was offering a ghost tour. We decided to go and what a fun time we had! The lovely owner of the home, Mrs. Tinney, actually showed us around,... More

The owner of Belcourt Castle led the ghost tour. She told us about the history of the castle and it's belongings, as well as stories of sightings and experiences. The ballroom with the coats of arms was especially creepy. More

I enjoyed this 2 1/2 hr tour led by the owner, Mrs. Harle Tinney, who has lived here for 50 yrs. The antiques and rooms are breathtaking. I did find this house to have energy, some would call it haunted. I think this huge home has spirits and I did not go there thinking I could be convinced. I felt... More

We visited Belcourt Castle for the ghost tour on November 12, 2009. We've been on a number of ghost tours in various cities, and this one surpassed them all because it featured a variety of stories of ghostly apparitions in a gilded age mansion with wonderful architecture and art. The owner, Mrs. Tinney, conducted the entire tour, which included her... More
