My husband and I were in Newport for one night, to celebrate our anniversary. The Wander Inn was a great place to stay. The hostesss, Karen, was wonderful -- she was very welcoming and we really felt like we were guests in a home. And yet she was not at all overbearing, like some inn owners can be, just really the perfect hostess.

The breakfasts were great, very gourmet! And the bottomless cookie jar was filled with delicious chocolate chip cookies that we ate way too many of.

We can't attest to the ease of walking to town/the ocean from the inn because it was so cold and windy we just decided to drive instead of freeze. But it was quite close and in the summer would probably be a really nice walk.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Wander Inn. Karen is a lovely hostess, who gave us lots of useful information regarding Newport events and restaurants. The Inn is beautifully decorated, in a quiet residential area convenient to downtown Newport. Almost best of all were the amazing breakfasts...all three were scrumptuous! We are delighted we chose to wander in!

Found the Wander Inn through a referral. Karen has a wonderful home, with four nicely appointed guest bedrooms, and plenty to keep you busy. Within easy walking distance of downtown Newport. We spent two full days walking through the Irish Festival, and all of the local touristy shops. Karen recommend several places for meals, all of them were winners, and Karen herself prepares a wonderful breakfast. The weather was absolutely beautiful, which allowed us to enjoy breakfast on the deck.

Karen was so helpful with our first weekend in Newport. She gave us directions that led us to the best sights to see and even had maps when we arrived. The breakfasts were amazing, and the house is beautiful. We were so close to everything yet not close enough where it was loud all night with street noise. In fact we slept with the window open and didn't hear a thing. We kept our car parked in her driveway which had enough spots for all the guests and even kept our bikes overnight outside leaning against our car. Without worry as the neighborhood was safe. She offered to put them in her Garage but we didn't mind leaving them where they were. We stayed in the Mansion room which was very nice, we didn't realize there were four bedrooms in the bed and breakfast from the look of the website you think there is only two. We had a great time and would stay there again on our next trip to Newport.
