Fair Street Guest House

We hate to boast....but we have "The Location" that can't be beat. Located in the heart of Newport's historic waterfront, just footsteps from all the finest restaurants
and shops. Located just off Thames Street,yet tucked away just... more

We had a wonderful stay at the Fair Street Guest Houses. The room was roomy and nicely done. The main house is done in Victorian style with many knick knacks and antiques. The breakfast was excellent. The location can't be beat. We walked to everything. We will be back.

For $70 plus per night, you can stay in a dank basement. The staff is unfriendly and unprofessional in their correspondence. Dishes are not washed, fresh towels are not provided, beds are not made, and the atmosphere is truly depressing. It is simply not worth the negligible savings to stay at the Fair Street Guest House. Do yourself a favor, and make arrangements elsewhere.

Innkeeper Response
Midway in the season of 09, during this difficult economicn time, we put together the, "hostel/shared room", ideal for the person traveling alone or on a tight budget. The hostel has been popular in Europe for decades. The rate is $65 per twin bed. This person wanted the B&B experience at the hostel price. In a hostel you pick up after yourself. Most travelers have been thrilled with the value, for a clean, comfortable, & safe space in downtown NPT, for a mere $65, the best deal in town.

I had never stayed at a B&B and was a little skeptical. This place was great. Location was spectacular, rooms were comfortable and clean. Service was amazing as was the breakfast!!! This will be the only place I stay in Newport from now on.

This was my first time staying at a B&B. The innkeepers were friendly, but definitely not overbearing (which I was afraid of). Our room had everything we needed, and breakfast was good, too. In addition to the inside of Fair Street B&B, it has great gardens outside and is in a great location for exploring Newport without having to get in the car- Everything was within walking distance. My fiance and I would definitely return!

The location is perfect for anyone that wants to walk all around the downtown area and enjoy what Newport has to offer. We have stayed there for several years in the fall during the Newport boat show. The inn keepers make you feel right at home and they have the inside scoop on all the best places to dine. Wayne's breakfast are the best way to start the day. We highly recommend staying here whenever you visit Newport.

If you want a lovely Victorian setting, near all the restaurants, shopping and tour attractions, this is the bed and breakfast to stay in. Our hosts put on a fabulous breakfast and make you feel like you are in your own home. I would give this B&B a 10+

The Fair Street Guest Houses not only offered the most amazing location in Newport, but an incredible experience for a decent price. Parking, in an otherwise crowded city, was ample, the rooms were spacious and very unique, and the innkeepers were more than helpful. I truly would recommend this B&B to everyone.

If you are looking for a B&B with great location and close to every thing this is it. Nice clean rooms and the breakfasts were fantastic. Our only drawback is that it was a little to noiesy at night since you are off the main strip but overall it's a nice B&B

when you want a b&b in newport, you need to decide if you want to be w/in walking distance to the shops & restaurants or not. this place is one block off thames and would definately stay there again. there are alot of "luxury" (i.e. pricey) b&b's in newport. this place had normal size rooms, normal size bathrooms, very clean, and a great breakfast.
