Artful Lodger Inn - Bed & breakfast in Newport - 503 Spring St, USA

This place was seriously perfect. I had never stayed at a Bed and Breakfast before, and honestly was a little hesitant, but overall I loved the experience. The location was perfect, we were here for a wedding and able to walk to everything. The rooms were clean. The staff were so friendly. We really enjoyed the breakfast in the conservatory, and they keep a bottle of wine out for you to sip and enjoy the view any time of the day. Would definitely stay again next time we are in Newport.

I'm delighted to have found this gem on my recent trip to Newport. I came to town with my teenage son for a lacrosse tournament and had zero knowledge of the area; I was just seeking the cheapest place to sleep since all our time would be spent at the lacrosse field. However, this B&B was so charming! The location was perfect - surrounded by fun shopping, great dining, and SO many activities. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and makes amazing breakfast. The room was spacious, homey, and very comfortable. I 100% recommend The Artful Lodger.

Is the second time we stay here. First time was last November for a wknd. And now this summer 2024. We really feel like we found a Gem. Heidi is amazing always there to help. Bedroom's are very clean and spacious with closets and drawers. Safe neighbour to walk at night, close to everything. Excellent parking lot, we left our car there all week didn't need it because everything was so close by.

The co-owner /innkeeper, Heidi, was very friendly and accommodating. She greeted us and gave us some good tips on things to do and see. The inn itself is a little tired. Very clean but run down. Garage sale furniture. Bed was comfortable and pillows were fine. It was helpful to have the parking lot. Breakfast was good- be aware of climbing 2 sets of very steep stairs to get to it.

Walking into the Artful Lodger in Newport is like walking into the warm hug of a long lost friend. This is a masterful renovation of an 1850 grand property. The room we stayed in was beautifully appointed, with period details lovingly incorporated throughout the property. Heidi is an EPIC, classic, New England Innkeeper. Heidi cares deeply about her guests' experience and she goes waaaaay above and beyond to make sure you are happy, comfortable and welcome. We felt more relaxed than we had in years! Everything fun and interesting in Newport is just a few minutes away by foot or car. The breakfast was wildly delicious and the view from the third floor breakfast room is breathtaking! If you would like to be welcomed, relaxed and enjoy an incredible, classic New England inn experience, look no further than the Artful Lodger.

Heidi, the owner, was very friendly and welcoming when we checked in. Our room was on the first floor and it was perfectly nice, not fancy, but clean and comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic and the yogurt was the best I have ever had. The parking was convenient and the location was close to a lot of the attractions. No complaints and we would certainly stay there again.

Ample parking, great location. Very steep stairs, we stayed on the second floor. Keurig, refrigerator. The innkeeper checked us in then we never saw her again the 3 days we were there, except when she left on her scooter. She left a number to be reached on but what we needed was soap and to refill the refrigerator with water and we did not want to bother her with that. We were encouraged to leave a tip for the room maid but she didn't make the bed, replenish soap or remove dirty dishes. She did put clean towels in which we did not really need. The pillows were horrible and hard and there was not duvet on the comforter. The breakfast was good but they are a stickler on the 8:30 am breakfast time. I went up just to get coffee (because they have a special blend they make) and to look out over the harbor view and I was greeted by"what are you doing here we don't open till 8:30." I explained what I wanted and she said to go downstairs and make a Keurig.

This beautiful b&b was built in 1850! It's pretty cool! From the conservatory you can see both Fort Adams and beautiful Newport Bridge. Service is excellent and friendly. Perfect location! You can walk to a mansion or downtown on the busy strip or to kings park that's on the water. Great spot!
