I cannot say enough good things about this place— it was the best part of our trip! Super easy to get into your room, from the nice ambiance in the stairwell to the cleanest room & bathroom I have ever stayed in. The bed is really comfortable and there was no noise that was heard from any other rooms. From the Admiral we walked to Chomp to have dinner one night, which was very good, and in the mornings we walked to the Picnic Cafe for coffee and they have good pastries. And if you can get there early enough and don’t mind a line, Co-Dough is also close by. But don’t forget at Admiral Sims’ House they offer baked goods, yogurts and fruit cups that are also good! Stay here, you won’t regret it!!

Beautiful property in a great location - walkable to downtown, mansions, and Cliff Walk, but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. Loved the front porch and all of the little touches that made us feel welcome.

We stayed at the Admiral Sims on Catherine St. and it was great! The house and property were beautiful and in a good location. Easy walk to the beach, and a little bit longer into downtown Newport but it is doable. Next time we come back we will definitely be bringing our dog!

Love, love, love this place! The property is beautiful, as is the neighborhood and our room was lovely. Location was central and walkable to Cliff Walks and Thames St shops and dining as well as the Bellevue Ave. shopping district. My only complaint is 10AM checkout, which is earlier than any place we've ever stayed. That said, would absolutely stay here again

Lovely and convenient

Great location, walking distance to Easton's Beach and Cliff Walk as well as many stores, restaurants, etc. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. It got fairly cold for a couple of days and the gas fireplace heater did a great job of warming the room. The kitchenette was well stocked with dishes, utensils, etc. And the hosts are super friendly and helpful!
