3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011

I stayed here with my boyfriend during the peak summer season. Brinley Victorian is part of the Inns on Bellevue family. The hotel is old and the decor is, well, Victorian. The room was spacious and had a fireplace, however, it wasn't clean. The sheets were stained, the room had a musty odor and the carpet was damp. We raised... More

I was disappointed in this B & B. The bed was noisy, the mattress was lumpy, we had to go out of the room thru a public hall to get to our ‘private’ bathroom. The wallpaper reminded me of something a grandmother would put in her house. The breakfast was so so, mediocre at best, not impressed at all, The... More

Visited Newport this passed weekend for the wine and food festival. The entire weekend was one of the best weekends of our life. We did not spend much time at the Brinley because we were out at tasting and enjoying the great city of Newport. When we were at the inn though we felt like it was just ok. We... More

We planned a last minute trip for New Years with family and friends. The Brinley had a perfect location, convenient to all. There was lovely decor, fabulous hospitality and service, along with a great breakfast as a bonus. Paul Galluscio is the General Manager and he went out of his way to make our stay wonderful. I believe 4 properties... More

What a gem! John and Jennifer know how to make guests feel happy at their lovely B&B. Beautiful rooms, nicely decorated, very good breakfasts. The house is centrally located, close to downtown Newport. Very pleasant hosts always available for help. Highly recommended!

Our stay was excellent. I cannot wait to return next summer. The moment you walk in you see a VERY clean cozy home. The owners (John and Jennifer) are kind and full of information about the area and completely open with the house. They had a great way of making you feel welcome and tell delightful stories in their English... More

Just returned from a stay at The Brinley Victorian Inn. I simply love Newport but this inn is not one of Newports finest. The owners, John and Jennifer follow you around as if you are a child and I am 46 years old. Jennifer is the rudest of the two often scolding you for closing the door with a little... More

The best part of the Brinley is its location. It's a couple of blocks from Bellevue Ave and a 5-7 minute walk to Thames St. The cottages are a few minutes ride away and you can walk to the Cliff Walk. The owners are very helpful and friendly and even picked us up from the bus station (we didn't have... More

My mother and I recently spent an extended weekend in Newport and based on the reviews I'd read about Brinley we decided to stay there. Honestly, I can't write enough positive feedback on our stay!

We had a fantastic stay at the Brinley Victorian Inn. John and Jennifer have an incredible amount of local knowledge that led us to some great dining and an altogether enjoyable weekend. The room we stayed in was clean and had a romantic gas fire place. We look forward to coming back.
