We have stayed at this property in the past this time we stayed in a different room, which was a little smaller than we had been used to .. but Everything was clean and neat. We did like the patio outdoors off our room. The bathroom had a shower stall, no tub which was fine with us. It’s a
lovely rustic period house. Loved that a private parking lot was provided as parking is very limited. Breakfast was good and the couple who run this B&B r very nice & knowledgeable about the area activities. Easy walking to bars/restaurants, downtown area, shopping.

Samuel Durfee was lovely. Heather and Mike are such great hosts and made us feel like we were at home. This is what we were looking for as an alternative to a hotel so we really appreciated it. We would stay again without hesitation.

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.

Delightful place, within walking distance of so much! Room was charming and the innkeepers were gracious. You didn’t see them, but when you needed them- there they were! Delicious, generous breakfast in a quaint setting. We’ll definitely go back!

A last minute trip to Newport for our 1 year wedding anniversary and we were lucky enough to be able to book the last available room at the Samuel Durfee House. This is an absolute gem of a bed and breakfast so if you have the opportunity, definitely take it. The location is perfect, they have private parking for guests and you can easily walk to Thames St for dinner, shopping, sunset sails etc. The breakfast is so so delicious, every morning offering you a piece of coffee cake of sorts with your coffee to start and then giving you a choice of savory and sweet for your meal (think quiche, frittata, pancakes, French toast, etc etc). Found out this husband and wife team have run this charming B&B for 25 years and are complete professionals. Both lovely people who make sure their guests have everything they need. Thank you Heather and Michael for an awesome stay :)

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!

This place was great! Heather and Michael were very hospitable. From check-in to dinner suggestions to the delicious breakfasts, everything was just what we had hoped for. Being one block back from Thames St the inn was nice and quiet. The location is fantastic for walking to everything Newport has to offer. Other than our drive down Ocean Ave and to the start of Cliff Walk, we left the car parked all weekend long.

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!
