“STAY HERE!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

My wife and I spent our first anniversary at Cliff Walk Cottage on the Sea. After spending hour after hour reviewing each of the various b&b's located in Newport, I ultimately choose Cliff Walk Cottage because it appeared to be very close to the Cliff Walk. Upon arrival, I realized I was mistaken yet pleasantly surprised because the home is, literally, on the Cliff Walk. The views of the cliff walk, coastline and beach are unobstructed and unmatched. Another pleasant surprise was the food and service. What was advertised on the website as "afternoon/sunset wine & hors d’oeuvres" should have read "relax on the private patio and watch the sun set over the coast while enjoying a bottle of the finest champagne and a table full of homemade hors d'oeuvres from onsite chef, Stuart." Another pleasant surprise was the "continental breakfast" was closer to a 4-course breakfast spread also freshly prepared by Stuart. Do not make the same mistake I made and spend your valuable time searching for that perfect place to stay. Call Stuart and Jennie and book NOW"

Room Tip: EVERY room has open views of the coast. Don't stress if a certain room is unavailable, simply b...

“Simply Amazing......”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

My wife and I feel very fortunate to have stayed at the Cliff Walk Cottage in late October 2012, and I can't say enough about the overall experience. The accommodations are spacious and beautifully designed, while offering up some of the most picturesque ocean views I've ever seen. We stayed in the balcony suite, which included a library/fireplace, bathroom and balcony with the views mentioned above. Jennie and Stuart were incredibly gracious hosts in every way imaginable, from the delicious breakfast spreads and the evening cocktails/appetizers- both excellently prepared and filling (so much so that we rarely felt it necessary to go out for lunch or dinner!)

We also found the location to be absolutely perfect. It was only a 15 minute walk into downtown (perfect for the cool, breezy weather we had) and just steps away from the cliff walk. We didn't use our care ONCE the entire trip, and took a different route each day to take in all the scenery.

Needless to say when we visit Newport again, we'll be sure to book this property! Thanks again Jennie and Stuart for making our weekend getaway truly memorable.

“Great Weekend in Newport”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 26, 2012

What a great weekend! We met friends in Newport and feel like we really lucked out with Cliff Walk Cottage. Jennie and Stuart were excellent hosts; their first concern was that we enjoy our visit and do it on our own schedule. The appetizers every evening and breakfast in the morning were outstanding and plentiful.
Every recommendation they made, for restaurants, activities such as a sailboat tour, and walks, was excellent. And the "cottage" is right next to steps accessing the Cliff Walk.
The rooms were beautiful and very comfortable. In addition to our rooms, we had access to a large and comfortable living room; all rooms had views out over Easton Beach and the water. Wonderful artwork and decorating and the grounds were beautifully landscaped. We felt like guests, but also had our privacy.
We are not generally bed and breakfast fans, but if all b&b's were like this we could change our minds. I would not want to stay anywhere else on a return trip to Newport.

Room Tip: There are 2 rooms - one is a lovely room with a queen bed and the other is a suite with a king. Bot...

“LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 20, 2012

After a long drive from Pennsylvania, we were delighted to pull up to the Cliff Walk Cottage, perched directly on the ocean and the Cliff Walk. We looked forward to our stay because of the beautiful pictures posted on the inn's website but now, having seen the cottage up close and personal, can say that the pictures do not do justice to the property.

The Cliff Walk Cottage is all about the ocean. What was equally as remarkable was that we were only a 10 minute walk to the beach and a 15 minute walk to the downtown.

Jennie and Stuart are gracious and knowledgeable hosts. They went the extra mile to make a reservation for us in town and performed a rescue pickup of us, tired and exhausted, on Bellevue Ave, after doing most of the Cliff Walk on too hot a day.

And then there is the food, wine, and drinks... overflowing, tasty and filling! He and Jennie were so interested and involved in ensuring that we felt at home but were sensitive enough to allow us the privacy and quiet that we always seek in a destination.

In short, The Cliffwalk Cottage offers a package that is unequaled by any other inn and is a remarkable value. The Cliffwalk Cottage should/will acquire it place alongside the top.

“Wonderful location, accomodations, and welcome.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 17, 2012

What a find! We were looking for a last minute getaway and found this charming Inn that has just opened. We were thrilled with every aspect of our stay. In fact, I am still full from the pre-dinner appetizers and breakfast the following morning.

The hosts are warm and welcoming. The rooms are lovely. The views and the sound of the waves are breathtaking. If you have a choice, request the room with the balcony. It truly is spectacular.

My wife and I both look forward to our return visit very soon!
