We stayed at the Cliffside Inn this weekend for our wedding anniversary and it was perfect. The owners were very friendly and took a personal interest in making sure we felt comfortable and had a good time. The inn itself is run like a five star hotel with amenities and furnishings.

“Truly wonderful B&B”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

Our children generously gave us a BedandBreakfast.com gift card for our anniversary. Included was a booklet listing over 4,000 inns that accept the card across the United States and parts of Canada. We took our time looking at various locations and inns and kept coming back to Cliffside in Newport, RI. We certainly made an excellent choice. It was lovely,... More

“A truly outstanding five-star B&B”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

The Cliffside Inn is a wonderful and charming retreat in Newport. My wife and I stayed in the Cliff Suite, which is located in the Seaview Cottage, a short walk across a beautifully landscaped lawn to the historic building housing the main inn. The suite features a nautical theme and was both spacious and immaculate. The king-sized bed was extremely... More

The Cliffside Inn is a great place to spend a long weekend. We stayed here for a quick getaway before the arrival of baby number 2 and we were looking for some place special and relaxing.

“Amazing B&B On Cliffwalk”

This newly upgraded and modernized B&B, has kept its Golden Age charm, and is one of the best B&B's in Newport. Close to the cliff walk, Cliff Side Inn is a perfect lovers stay, or perhaps a family retreat. The breakfast, including the buttermilk pancakes are amazing and if you are lucky, you will get to meet Koty...the mini Collie.

It was so great to have you both here for your special weekend. Koty is definitely missing your expert belly scratches. Anyone who can get him to lick them, knows what they are doing! Thanks for posting the picture of the inn too. I like how the light puts a halo on it. Best, Nancy and Bill and Koty! More

“Such a lovely place to make a treasured memory.”

Reviewed 8 May 2013 via mobile

The Cliffside Inn is such a lovely place to visit when you really want to slow down the pace and reconnect with someone special. It is warm and cozy and elegant all at the same time. The innkeepers are delightful and the food delicious.

This was a birthday celebration weekend-- a total splurge, but worth it. When asked my favorite part of the weekend in Newport, I have been saying it was this hotel.

“A Perfect Getaway”

My wife and I had a wonderful stay of 3 nights at The Cliffside Inn. We especially enjoyed our room, The Tower Suite, with its private outside entrance, window seat, and water view. We also enjoyed being able to eat our breakfasts (prepared by Bill) on the porch. The fire pit at night was an especially unique feature. The nearness... More
