The friendliness, follow-up and follow from inception of reservation until check-out. The Inn had such a cozy and serene atmosphere. The Inn was perfectly stock with everything that you would need for your stay. The outdoor spaces are a delight. Such a great find with parking included. And, breakfast too!! Such an amazing value for your money.

Since it is a quaint Inn the stairs to reach the breakfast and amazing scenery was amazing. The stairs were only the small drawback I loved loved loved the place so much that I will come back. The friends that I will come back with are older. I can just get the breakfast for them. And, eat outside on the beautiful grounds.

We didn't get to try the breakfast. The price was right, the parking was excellent and the host was very helpful.

We loved our room and slept great except the room had a strange odor, almost cloying. It would fade after awhile but when you left and came back there it was.

I love all the vintage touches throughout the Inn and the very homey feel. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean and spacious. The location was great and easy walk to the mansions or the center of town. My favorite thing about the Inn was the breakfast. A made to order breakfast your choice of eggs, French toast, pancakes and it was absolutely delicious. There are homemade muffins and cookies and each breakfast comes with Greek yogurt topped with strawberries and blueberries. The breakfast room was above the tree tops with lovely views.

My only complaint was the garden area and the seating area outside was neglected. If spruced up a bit it would be another lovely inviting spot for guests.

Loved the location- so close to everything! Easy to walk around to all the spots we wanted to see! Close to lots of shops and restaurants! Breakfast was delicious and the room was beautiful and the bed so comfy and the towels so soft!

I can’t think of anything!

Artful Lodger has considered everything: light sensors provided in the common spaces; night lights; lots of hooks to hang clothing; little shelves near the bed for jewelry, phone, etc.; an oh-so-comfy king-sized bed; a couch that comfortably sat two; mirrors made the room appear larger and lighter; ability to use shades and drapes for light and dark;; quiet, a big plus for a reader. Parking is easy and much appreciated. Heidi was so welcoming and so pleasant, and we appreciate her help with our suitcases. Breakfast was delicious; we had to leave early and missed out on our last one, but Eileen offered to make us a package "to go," that we kindly refused but oh so appreciated. Location is terrific....so close to so much, yet, the residential location is a nice separation from everything. The view from the dining area is absolutely lovely and relaxing.

Truly, we have no complaints or recommendations.

This bed and breakfast is simply amazing!!! Where do I start? The manager, Heidi, is a joy and so nice. She was lovely as she got us checked in and gave us a lot of great suggestions for things to do and where to eat. Similarly, Eileen, who makes breakfast in the morning, was also so nice! The staff really made this feel more like a home than a hotel. I absolutely loved chatting with them! The bed and breakfast is located in what is, in my opinion, a perfect area. It's just a bit out of the way of all the hustle and bustle of Thames Street, but walking there is a breeze. You can get to most of the bars and restaurants within 15 minutes. It's also located close to the mansions! The Elms is practically right outside the door, and The Breakers is only a 15 minute walk away. I loved the central location! The bed was so comfortable as well, and we really enjoyed sitting up in the conservatory after we returned, where Heidi leaves a bottle of wine for guests to enjoy after sunset.

As a note to people with mobility issues: the dining area for breakfast is located on the 3rd floor, and there are no elevators. This was no problem at all for me, but I just want to give a heads up to those who have trouble with stairs.

For breakfast, I chose sausage, and was served half a sausage, sliced lengthwise. Very odd. What did they do with the other half? Also requested decaf coffee, and the breakfast lady acted put out by the request, forgot to make it, and only after a second request, finally brought decaf when we were finished breakfast. Decaf coffee isn't so unusual a request. Shouldn't have thrown her for a loop!

Mattress in the Ann room needs to be replaced. Many flights of stairs. Not recommended if you have mobility issues.

The room was pretty big. The bed was comfortable. There are enough parking places. The accommodation is close to the major attractions and restaurants.

The TV was relatively small, especially considering the distance from the bed, but since we only used it for about an hour in the evening, it wasn't a major issue for us. The breakfast was good in terms of quality, though the portion size could be slightly improved. We visited in May when the weather was unexpectedly cold, and unfortunately, the fireplace was not functional during our stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at The Artful Lodger Inn. The room was cozy, spotless, and very comfortable—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Newport. The location couldn’t be better, just steps from the mansions and a short walk to downtown and the harbor. The breakfast was delicious served on the rooftop. This inn has a charming, homey feel that made my visit truly special. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Newport.

We stayed in the Victoria Room. Setup is charming! Bed is very comfortable. Clean room and bathroom. Nice size TV and cable, a plus! And, delicious breakfast made to order every morning!! No need to use your car unless you are going to the beach or visiting the mansions. Very close proximity to Thames St and Bellevue Ave as parking is difficult and expensive during the summer. B&B host, Heidi, is amazing!
