This cozy 1750 colonial inn, located in downtown Newport, serves a full homemade breakfast and delicious afternoon treats.

The inn sits opposite the Vernon House, which once hosted French General Rochambeau and George Washington, and is neighbor to the 1741 Newport Artillery Company. The inn's seven guest rooms are adorned with colonial style quilts and period furniture.
