My husband and I decided to escape the Texas heat for a few days and headed up to Newport. We stayed in the Ida Lewis room. It was nice, cozy, and quiet and we loved the little private deck. Heather & Michael were friendly and informative- and the breakfasts were just excellent! Their private parking lot was great for avoiding... More

The owners, Heather & Michael, are very informative, friendly and cater to all our needs. Breakfast every morning started with juice, coffee and home-made bread (banana nut & cranberry nut). Then the main entree, which was delicous. The room was really nice with red walls and crisp white linens and four pillows to choose from. Bathroom was immaculate with all... More

I visited the Samuel Durfee House on Easter weekend and I had a lovely time. Michael and Heather are gracious and caring hosts. They offered great locals' tips and really cared to talk to us about our Newport experience. As I researched Newport B&Bs I decided on the Samuel Durfee House in large part because of the reviews highlighting the... More

We were extremely happy with this B & B. From the owner greeting us upon arrival with a tour and local info to a sweet brown bag breakfast packed for our early morning departure we were tickled with the service and warm atmosphere of the house.

Michael and Heather are such great owners and they are so hospitable! Michael's breakfast is also fabulous (we are not breakfast people but we woke up early every day just to have the breakfast!) The Jackie O' room was neat and clean and the bed, pillows and sheets were comfortable. It was slightly cold, even with the vent opened up... More

We stayed at the Samuel Durfee house this past weekend while celebrating New Years and visiting with family in Newport. It is a charming b&b that is cared for by the most friendly and hospitable couple. Our room was a good size, had all of the amenities we needed and (most importantly for me)..a very comfortable bed. It was a... More

I recently stayed at the Samuel Durfee House for two nights and was very impressed. The rooms were clean and comfortable (including new linens) and the bathrooms modern and bright. Breakfasts were ample in the communal breakfast room and tea/coffee was also available in the afternoon along with cookies/treats. The location is right in the heart of Newport so an... More

My husband and I had a very comfortable stay here recently. Our room was on the first floor and so quiet we couldn't tell that there were other guests and the place was completely booked. The breakfasts were very good and huge. The innkeepers are very personable and had great recommendations for our visit. It really helped to have a... More

This is the quintisential B&B. A Stylish home looking the part- clean, antique looking with creaking floors and beautiful china. Heather and Mike are friendly hosts and helpful sat where to go and see. We ate at Scales and Shells restaurant one night-highly reccmend. The Pier restaurant we also ate at-just three blocks away on the water- also good but... More
