We had a fantastic stay!! The Inn Keepers John and Laurence and their daughter Shelby were extremely accommodating in every way. They were informative, friendly and very welcoming. The wine and cheese hour with warm cookies was a welcomed delight. Breakfasts were beyond expectations and delicious. The Inn was decorated for Christmas and resembled a hallmark movie. The room was clean, comfortable and the fireplace was an added bonus. The Inn’s location is ideal and allows for short strolls downtown for dining, shopping and fun. Having stayed in Newport over the last 30 years I can honestly say this was my best experience. My next Newport adventure will begin with booking the Almondy Inn. Bill

A short two night getaway to Newport, RI to explore the glorious mansions, cliff walk and dining at the local restaurants. Upon arrival at the Almondy Inn we were greeted with smiles from Shelby (asstant inkeeper) decorating the charming front porch for Christmas. We chose the Lanai Suite and it exceeded our expectations. This two room suite has a super comfy king bed, a lovely sitting room with a sofa and large wardrobe unit, and a private spacious updated sparkling bathroom. Innkeepers Laurence and John are exceptional hosts and throughout the entire stay were friendly, attentive and very helpful offering many ideas and suggestions raising and enhancing our total experience. The inn location is in the heart of Newport steps away from shops, restaurants and activities. Parking is on property which is a valuable convenient perk. The breakfasts we were served were creative and scrumptous and not to be missed. At 5pm daily a lovely wine and cheese hour is hosted in the livingroom by the innkeepers. Do not hesistate to book the Almondy Inn for your next getaway. We cannot wait to return to this GEM!

When I walked through the door a little after 5:00 pm, I was greeted with "White or red?" I hadn't even checked in yet and already I was drawn into a circle of lively conversation and beautiful surroundings. The white was delicious. The innkeepers were knowledgeable and have pretty much figured everything out so you don't have to ask for anything. The building is spotless and the location couldn't be better. We were in the Sunset Room with its four poster bed, view of the harbor and a fireplace that impossibly increased the coziness of it all. To call the breakfasts gourmet is to do them an injustice. Home baked cookies in the afternoon and 5:00 drinks with crackers and cheese allowed me to live the genteel life I can never manage back home. In the right setting, there is a sparkle to the atmosphere, the surroundings, and even the people. Everyone is interesting and interested. The Almondy Inn is the right setting.

Thanks to TA reviews —they inspired us to try The Almondy Inn — which personifies hospitality! My husband and I experienced a gracious welcome, beautiful furnishings including modern amenities, top notch cleanliness, daily gourmet breakfast and friendly wine & cheese gathering. Innkeepers (John, Laurence and Shelby) are personable and have a wealth of info on the area. Very appreciative of the new walk ideas, John! Location is perfect for walking everywhere: wharf/harbor area, restaurants and shops, and my favorite—the amazing Cliff Walk. Even could see the sunset across the rooftops and harbor from our room. Thanks for the perfect Newport getaway…we hope to come back soon! C & B

The Almondy Inn was absolutely amazing! The location was perfect, right in the center of town and a 5-10 minute walk to all restaurants and shopping! The hosts were phenomenal. Breakfast every morning was an absolute treat, with fresh baked goods, and incredibly tasty meals! Every afternoon the hosts offered wine and cheeses in the beautiful living room. Along with being incredibly kind and friendly, the hosts offered countless suggestions of Trips and outings during our stay. We loved every minute of our time! Thank you for a wonderful experience, we cannot wait to visit again.

This is our 2nd trip to Almondy Inn . We enjoyed the trip. Between the delicious breakfasts, cookies, wine and cheese, extremely clean and well appointed rooms it was the perfect place to stay in Newport. John, Laurence and Shelby made us feel at home and were very helpful in finding things to do even as it was our second time here. We will definitely be back!!!

This was our third stay with Laurence and John at The Almondy. They are wonderful innkeepers who make us feel welcome and valued as guests. They are a wealth of information about Newport and it’s sights, activities and dining choices. The inn is charming with only 5 or 6 rooms so it feels like staying at an elegant home. Everything is clean and comfortable and the breakfast is amazingly good! We always meet wonderful and interesting guests during our stays there! Also has an awesome location right in the heart of the wharf area.

Everything at the Almondy Inn is absolute perfection. The location with off street parking and just walking 200’ to be in the middle of all the shopping and restaurants is amazing. You don’t have to fight for a parking spot to be downtown. The room was large and exceptionally clean. The beds and pillows were so comfortable my wife took a picture of the pillow tag! The breakfast Sunday morning would rival any 5 star resort. Just a truly memorable weekend here and we will certainly be staying again! Thank you again John and Laurence!
