Reviews of The Cliffside Inn

Property was beautiful, renovated mansion with excellent decor!

breakfast was great - it was so nice to have that available in the morning to start the day! we were so close to the Cliff Walk and it was so nice to just step down onto the path and be on our way! we were also not a bad walk from "town" - we walked from the Tennis Center and it was maybe 15 min.

Being near the Cliff Walk was wonderful! But not much else to do. The bed was comfortable and the view from the Turner Suite was great. Plenty of space in the suite to sleep and rest too. The breakfast was nice. The porch is wonderful. The common rooms are beautiful.

The beach is not good. We were too concerned about the algae There are not very many restaurants or shops nearby. There was no information given at our arrival. The in person greeting was disappointing. We were not made to feel welcome as the other hotel we stayed in Newport greeted us. It was a strange arrival. There was a fire pit but it was only lit once we saw in our way to dinner. There was no mini fridge in the room to store drink or such and the kitchen is not really available for guests to use.

I loved everything about the property. The breakfast was amazing, as well as the wine and cheese hour each evening. They had bottled water available and snacks out at all hours. Parking was easy, and I loved the privacy of the property, too.

Our bed in the Blue Room - the feet of the bed were higher up than the head. This is partially due to the fact that the rear feet are on a rug, and also due to the age of the building and the slanted floors. All the same, it would be very nice to have risers on the legs near the head to level out the bed.

I cannot rave enough about this inn. From the elegant decor to the delicious spread for breakfast, each detail of the stay was a nice touch. I had the sun room and just being able to look out into the courtyard and beyond from the very comfortable window bench calmed my spirits. Also, the property was steps away from the cliff walk which was a bonus for me.

Everything was wonderful and the staff beyond helpful and welcoming.

Staff was excellent! They serve breakfast AND have a wine hour every afternoon. The property is beautiful.

The room we had was really good. Perfect.

Very expensive. Breakfast was really not good at all. No cooked food all pre prepared. Not what we expected seeing we paid £700 a night?? This is part of a chain. I thought this would be very personal serivice. It was not at all.

Comfortable, nice breakfasts, enjoyed mingling over wine and canapés

No lift for heavy suitcases

Wonderful quiet location, easy parking and just steps from the Cliffwalk. Breakfast was awesome: tasty and healthy small bites of protein, fruit, grains and home baked biscuits.

Our stay was just perfect!

Comfortable, spacious room and superb breakfast. The evening wine hour was a nice touch!

By ocean. Old world decor with minimal trendy updates. Very luxe rooms. Great location by water. All around nice

I wish or hope they don’t make it too trendy as old world is what people come to Newport for. Plus this house is a site of historic interest. The Gilded is too trendy and seems cheap. Very different clientele

Lots of history and charm right on cliff walk!

Great location, lovely sitting areas. very nice staff

pretty smokey from the fireplace,even in our room..we were in the Governor’s suite which is very nice, except the tub had a leaky faucet.Spent the first night listening to it, then laid the faulty faucet head down. Apparently the part is on order. A note on the tub would have been nice to not have to listen to it the first night. or wrap a towel around it..

Beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, delightful rooms. In a lovely quiet area of Newport.

To cater for international guests the breakfast could have been broader. Offer toast…something not so sweet.

The Cliffside was an exceptional, lovely building, lovely staff, location amazing, pre-dinner drinks every night is a fantastic little extra. really loved our stay.
