We enjoyed a restful stay at the Francis Malbone house this past weekend! It was great to be in the heart of Newport, close to so many restaurants and shops. But once we entered, the peace and quiet we experienced was lovely and we forgot we were so close to everything else. Breakfast was amazing and having some delicious snacks at afternoon tea was also a nice treat. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this spot and hope to visit again another time!

Without a doubt, we will be returning to the Francis Malbone Inn. A true gem. Location was perfect - an easy walk to the harbor and shopping or into town. Did I mention free and ample parking? Friendly and helpful staff!, the rooms were comfortable and immaculate. Amenities - the breakfast each morning was amazing. Coffee came out early followed by baked goods. Then a full breakfast with 2 choices was served at 8am. The lovely Sue sure made sure our breakfasts were memorable! Although they had a large dining room, we chose to eat outside in the garden. It was a popular location. In the afternoon, they serve a tea with savory and sweet treats. We really appreciated the rain umbrellas they included in the room (we needed to use it sadly). We had a room located off of the garden. It was quiet and peaceful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely go back. The staff were outstanding, the breakfast was delicious and so was the afternoon tea. The rooms all have fireplaces, our room was wonderful. To come back at night and turn on the fireplace and also turn that on in the morning. Bed was very, very comfortable. We have nothing but great things to say about the place.
