Absolutely enjoyed all the antiques and family history. Being able to walk into town and being near the water was an absolute pleasure and an ideal way to spend time. The innkeeper was genuinely nice and made time to talk about the home and area. I wouldn't think twice about staying here again.

Been there before, and we'll go back again! We stayed for a long weekend in April. The Inn is close to so many things we love Newport for! We walked to the Wharf to do some shopping, and had a great dinner at "22 Bowen's"...a little pricey but delightful! Also ate at a place called "Rhumline" just around the corner... More

My wife and I spent a lovely weekend in the Isaac Kendall Room during Winter Festival Week. Rooms are half of the In Season Price at $175 per night. This historic Inn is a short walk from everything, and boasts beautiful views of the harbors as well as a third floor view from the Inn Tower. The breakfast was a... More

We stayed at the Sarah Kendall house two weekends ago from a friends recommendation. What a wonderful place, great location and host with lots of stories and personal touches that made our experience unforgetable!!! Our breakfasts wete family style and impressive. We were able to talk to other travelers and enjoyed our interaction. Great experience.

The Sarah Kendall House is off the beaten path of Thames Street. A five minute walk brings you to the center of Newport's harbor-front. We've stayed here three times and always enjoy going back. The owners have been in the hospitality business a long time and know everything you could want to know about Newport. If you like authentic antiques... More

If you are looking for a place that has the feeling of home but the comforts of a vacation this is the B&B for you!!! Brian and Fran are sure to remind you if not of your grandparents then most definitively of your favorite aunt and uncle. Brian is a most gracious host concerned by whatever your needs maybe Fran...

Great property with view of Newport Harbor from lovely front porch. Home has historic authenticity. However, Inn bedding and pillows lack the plushness and comfortable luxury typically associated with this type of property. Mattresses were old and hard, and pillows equally flat.

We have precious few opportunities to do grown-up trips since we have two little ones under the age of three, so the pressure was on for this one to be fabulous. With the kids at their grandparents', we headed to Newport to take in the Folk Festival and stay overnight in a B&B. We have little experience with B&Bs, but... More

just what the doctor (or therapist) prdered. We needed a night away and went back to the Sarah Kendall House. Had a nice stay the last time and really enjoyed it, this was even better. Perhaps we were so deprived from alone time either way it was just what we needed, thanks for a great stay
