Sarah Kendall House

This was our first time staying at this property. What a beautiful house and yard, & the owners were friendly, kind, and gracious with regards to a personal difficulty we encountered during our stay. Also.., breakfast was amazing. We would highly recommend this wonderful bed & breakfast, and we can't wait to return! Eric & Jan

Very nice b&b. I would go back!

Our stay was for my sister’s birthday, 4 of us in 3 separate rooms. I stayed in the Tower suite which had a separate entrance, and about 35 stairs to climb and being the oldest of the group in my late 60’s I read up about the Inn ahead of time and educated myself of what to expect, the climb was fine, with a small bag to carry. The others on the other hand promised to come visit me but after checking out the room and the climb they never visited me again or the amazing cupola again during our 2 night stay….lol. I loved it I was the only one way up there for the 2 nights…a little spooky, but perfect. All of us loved our rooms, The Garden room and the Sarah Kendall suite. The Inn is well appointed and clean. Bryan was so informative and such a gentleman. A very proud owner. Mary who helps Bryan with breakfast and cleaning is so sweet, and is a wonderful cook. The breakfast is impeccable. I’m not just saying that; the setup and abundance can hardly be matched anywhere. The rate was very reasonable. The Inn is gorgeous, antiques are abundant everywhere. If you are a person who loves old inns it will not disappoint. If you are a person who expects perfection and not to creak or rattle or floors not to settle then perhaps an more modern updated hotel is more your style. For us we were delighted with the experience. Thank you for all your hard work Bryan and Mary!

Decided on a short winter getaway to Newport to breathe in the salty ocean air and see some mansions and eat lots of good seafood. This bed-and-breakfast was super clean, interesting to be in and to look at. The location was absolutely perfect and the accommodations were beautiful. Bryan’s hospitality was outstanding. Just the right balance of hands on/hands off. Mary is in charge of keeping you comfortable and well fed with delicious and abundant breakfasts at an exquisitely set dining table, fresh baked cookies and tea or coffee in the evening, and making sure your space is clean and well tended to. All really kind and helpful, go above and beyond, and proud of the history of the house. Highly recommend 💫

Lovely B&B with views of the water within walking distance of downtown Newport complete with wonderful breakfasts. Will definitely return.

It was amazing. Room and inn are beautiful. Recommend highly! Will be back!

Sarah Kendall house is charming. It’s conveniently located and close to everything.

Bryan was a very kind and welcoming host! We loved the Victorian charm of the place and the breakfast served in the morning is incredible. We’ll definitely be back!

Bed was very uncomfortable. Big dip in middle of the mattress. Wifi was poor.

While a lot of the reviews for this B&B are excellent, I can only comment about my experience concerning customer service. I bought a night for my parents, and unfortunately they were unable to stay. Although the night in question was after the cancellation window, we tried to at least move the date - understanding that we would have to pay the difference. The woman who my mother spoke with us extremely rude and seemingly unwilling to help. The first thing she said was, “Well you are going to lose your money.” Again, we understood that we would have to pay more - which I was happy to do so that my parents could enjoy themselves. She claimed we had not tried to call her previously - this was a flat out lie. We called and left a message, as did Hotels.com. I understand a policy is a policy, but the way in which this was handled reflected very poorly on her and the B&B as a whole. Based solely on that interaction I would not recommend staying here.
