“Cozy & romantic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

Stayed here for a long weekend w/ my bf in Jan 2013. It’s a beautiful inn, well maintained, clean, awesome location (walking distance to Thames Street and all of the restaurants, shops, etc.). It’s right across the street from Hotel Viking (the Viking bar has a band play on Fridays or Saturdays – fun crowd). The innkeeper was great, not intrusive but talkative, engaging and helpful if you wanted him to be (meaning, not breathing down your back). We only made it to breakfast once but it was delicious – I think it was egg soufflé or smthg like that. We stayed in the Carrie in the City room and really liked it – sunny, beautiful fireplace, comfortable big bed, etc. I liked that it faced the street (it wasn’t loud or anything). I would definitely recommend staying here – it’s so warm and inviting and you get a true “bed-and-breakfast” experience in beautiful, historic Newport. We’ve stayed in a few different inns in Newport and this one is definitely one of the best (and best service for sure). The atmosphere is just really cozy and romantic! Lovely place.

Room Tip: Stayed in Carrie in the City - great room. Loved the fireplace!

“The GEM of Newport!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

The Hydrangea House Inn is an amazing place to stay in Newport! The staff was so kind and welcoming, and the facility and rooms are impeccable. We stayed in the winter, and we really appreciated the warm and inviting atmosphere. The central heat worked great, and the in-room gas fireplace was a huge treat! Parking in the rear was also very convenient.

The location was absolutely perfect. You are within walking distance of all the main attractions, and the historic neighborhood was really charming.

Lastly...the FOOD! It was beyond expectations! You don't really expect a 5 star meal at a B&B, but every morning we rushed downstairs to see what kind of amazing breakfast they put together. It was always plenty of food. Not just a few things to pick on but a substantial, savory meal that held us over until lunch time.

Overall, highly recommended!

Room Tip: If you are looking for a private room at a value, with easy access at any hour, choose the Verandah...

“New Year's Eve”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

My husband and I rang in the New Year at our favorite B&B. We have stayed at the Hydrangea house many times over the past six years and are never disappointed.The inn is in a great location and within walking distance to many great restaurants and shops.Dennis and Grant are the perfect hosts. They are very knowledgeable and will make great suggestions for a memorable trip. We arrived at 430pm and wine and cheese was being served. The inn was beautifully decorated for the holiday's and the fireplace was on.What a great way to unwind after a long drive.We've stayed in many rooms over the years and each is elegant and so comfortable. Breakfast is served In the beautiful dining room and the food always delicious and gourmet quality!! Not to mention the freshly baked cookies that are waiting for you when you return from a night out. Thank you Dennis, Grant, and Rosie for another perfect stay at your lovely inn. We can't wait to come back!!!

“the only place to stay while visiting Newport”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2012

My husband and I have been staying at the Hydrangea once a year for over a decade. It is the only place I would ever stay. Grant and Dennis are warm and caring hosts. They go above and beyond to make their guests feel welcome. All of the guest rooms are beautiful. Breakfast, served in the elegant dining room is always delicious and decadent- the breakfast bread pudding and eggs in puff pastry are my two favorites. We look forward to many more visits to this perfect bed and breakfast. In my opinion, the Hydrangea should be ranked 1st on Trip Advisor.

Room Tip: the Chesterfield and the Carrie in Paris suites are my 2 two favorites, but all of the rooms are bea...
