Samuel Durfee House - Bed & breakfast in Newport - 352 Spring St, USA

My wife and I were visiting Newport for the first time to celebrate our anniversary and chose to stay at the Samuel Durfee House based on its location and all the positive reviews. They were spot on. Our room was the Doris Duke Suite. We were impressed with how large, comfortable and clean it was. Heather and Michael were very accommodating and gave us excellent advice on things like dining and parking. Breakfast was phenomenal even the coffee was excellent. We had such a great weekend and know we will be back. I wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else.

We stayed at Samuel Durfee House with another couple. It was our first time in Newport. The location is excellent since you can walk (9-12 minute) to all the restaurants in town. Heather and Michael were wonderful hosts, and the breakfasts were amazing . . . thank you to chef Michael! Afternoon cookies and other snacks were nice amenities. Rooms are very clean and beds are extremely comfortable. We stayed in Doris Duke Suite and our friends stayed in Ida Lewis. Parking is off street on the property behind the inn. It was nice to park our car and walk into town. We highly recommend this Inn, because of the location and hospitality of our innkeepers. Restaurant recommendations on the website were extremely helpful.

My husband and I had the best time celebrating our 30th anniversary at the Samuel Durfee House! Michael and Heather were super friendly and always available to offer suggestions and help make the perfect plans. We enjoyed our stay with them and the great conversations. Breakfast was absolutely delicious! I don't usually eat breakfast but couldn't wait to see what was being served each day...and the cakes prepared by Michael's mother were incredible. Our room was quiet, decorated with so much character, and the bed was very comfortable. The location is perfect...we were able to walk to everything we planned, and the private parking was so convenient!|

My husband and I spent 2 nights at the Samuel Durfee House in October. We had a comfortable room with a very cute outside deck! The breakfasts were absolutely fantastic. Michael and Heather were very friendly and gracious hosts. The location of the inn was so convenient! We were able to walk easily to shops, great restaurants, and to the meeting point for our mansion tour on the Newport Travel Trolley Tours! It was so convenient to park the car and not worry about traffic in town!

This bed and breakfast was perfect! My wife and I just spent a long weekend there and we both loved it! The innkeepers Heather and Michael were awesome! They both made the stay a fantastic experience! Breakfast was incredible! We stayed in the Perry Room which was beautiful and very clean. The room is set in the back of the house so it is nice and quiet. The house itself is located on spring street which is perfectly located one block back from Thames street. Thames street is the busy main street of Newport. Close enough to walk to it but far away from the commotion. There is a spacious parking lot that is onsite with plenty of space. We will definitely return to this AMAZING bed and breakfast!

My wife and I just got back from a wonderful seven night stay at the Samuel Durfee House. Michael and Heather were the perfect hosts and were always helpful on things to see and places to eat. | The breakfast was exceptional; the best of any bed and breakfast we have ever stayed in. Michael being the cook and Heather being an attentive hostess. We often felt we were the only ones at the Inn. The rooms are quiet, nicely furnished with a very comfortable bed. The Inn is centrally located with private parking and it was easy to come and go. Again, I can't say enough about the nice hospitality that Michael and Heather showed us. My wife agrees that this was one of the most wonderful (if not the most) bed and breakfast we have ever stayed in. We hope to come back soon.

My partner and I stayed at the Samuel Durfee House for two nights in the Perry Room. We absolutely loved our stay. First, the location of the inn is very conveniently located. Second, Heather and Michael are friendly and personable (plus easy to talk to). Finally, the breakfast was just what we needed, and the ability to have it on our room's private outdoor space was just what you want on a summer vacation. If we come back to Newport we would 100% stay here again.

My wife and I visited Newport for a weekend getaway, and we wanted something different from the waterfront hotels, something quiet, comfortable, and charming. Samuel Durfee House definitely fit the bill! ||The building was full of historic charm and period decor (be ready for small closets and floor boards that creak when you get up in the middle of the night), but it also included modern touches that helped make it very comfortable (recently renovated bathroom, flat panel TV on the wall). We stayed in the Harrison Suite on the first floor and really enjoyed the small sitting room attached to the bedroom -- it was convenient to have a place to sit and read with a cup of coffee while waiting for my wife to wake up. ||Our hosts were delightful and friendly, quick to help with information or something for the room, happy to chat as much or as little as guests like and with plenty of local knowledge. Breakfast each morning was amazing, with a freshly baked morning bread or pastry to start and then a full meal accompanied by tea, coffee, and juices. We devoured everything they cooked for us, and the blueberry pancakes I had our first morning were possibly the best pancakes I've had in my life. ||The house is just one block up from Thames avenue, so there is easy walking access to tons of shops and restaurants, and it's a short walk to the waterfront and the wharves. There is a bit of traffic on Spring Street, but despite that the house itself was very quiet and peaceful for our stay. ||I would highly recommend anyone stay here on a visit to Newport.
