I made my reservation the week before my stay and was pleasantly surprised by what the inn offered. The room was large, as was the bathroom, and the service wasa pleasant and accommodating. The breakfasts are just the right size - don't expect a gluttonous feast in the AM, but a nice start to your day.

Loved this place! My only regret is that we didn't have the time to stay another night in Rhode Island but also at the Slocum Inn. Quiet, relaxing and not to mention a great homemade breakfast created by Mark himself. Thanks again Mark and Dana. Christi and I really enjoyed your home and thanks again for the directions to Boston/Fenway Park. Go Red Sox!

The Marshall Slocum Inn was lovely in every detail, and its owners were simultaneously solicitous and discreet. We'll definitely stay there again on our next trip to Newport, and recommend that others who are looking for a perfect mix of history, beauty and serenity do the same.

This is a wonderful B&B! The owners are a lovely couple and their combined experience in the hotel industry shows in the well thought details. We loved the decor: classic, quaint and evocative of Newport's ambiance. The Inn is at a very comfortable distance to all attractions, but in the middle of a nice residential area. One of the highlights was coming down, after a great night's sleep, to a perfectly made to order breakfast at the lovely rear porch.

We just spent 4 days in Newport and were quite pleased with our choice at the Marshall Slocum Inn. We stayed in the Brass Room, an immaculate, spacious and extremely quiet and comfortable room. The inn sits in a charming tree lined street in a quiet Newport neighborhood, situated easy walking distance from sites, trolley stops and town. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch sipping wine in the evening and peace and quiet strolling back from dinner each night. Mark, Dana and staff gave us excellent recommendations on where to dine, what to see, and how to navigate easily without a car. Mark does a fantastic job with breakfast each morning, served in the beautiful patio/garden area. We are world travelers and highly recommend the inn...and would happily return for our next stay in Newport. Myriam and Marc- Miami

We found the Marshall Slocum on the web from Australia. We booked the Great Little Apartment for a week emid June 2009. The hosts Mark & Dana were the most hospitable couple. Mark drove to the bus terminal to collect us. When we first walked into the apartment we were thrilled. It was so comfortable, bed huge and so comfortable. Everything was there for us and we made ourselves very "at home" for the whole week. Breakfast was "to die for " each morning cheerfully cooked by Mark who went on to tell us of various places to see, restaurants to eat at. Such wonderful hosts. One extra that was provided for us, as we had been travelling for many weeks and playing court tennis during our stay in Newport, was the housekeeping ladies did our laundry for us 3 times during the week. How I would have coped without this generosity I don't know. Marshall Sclocum is ideally situated in a gorgeous street, close to everthing, the International Hall of Fame Tennis, the Mansions in Bellevue and of course the wharfs and the habour. We walked everywhere. We cannot recommend this establishment highly enough. Jim & Irene Stephen Australia

We stayed here for our 1-yr anniversary. It was quiet and comfortable and just the right distance from shops, restaurants, and sight-seeing. Mark's breakfasts were hearty enough that we were still full near lunch time. Great value!

This was our first real visit to Newport and to the Marshall Slocum Inn and we had a fantastic time. Mark and Dana are the nicest people that you'd ever want to meet, and the Inn was just lovely. We stayed in the Captain's Quarters and enjoyed great accomodations and even better food. Mark was also the chef for breakfast and cooked delicious meals each day. Both Mark and Dana are very knowledgeable about Newport and its attractions, and helped us decide what to do and where to go each day of our visit. They also know all of the local restaraunts and were able to tell us where to go outside of the tourist areas for some of the best local food in town. They were genuinely concerned with us having a good time while in Newport, and that concern was greatly appreciated. We will certainly recommend the Inn and Mark and Dana to any friends looking to have a memorable vacation in Newport. Keep up the good work

I will be back for sure.

The Marshal Slocum Inn presented premium accomodations at modest prices. A rare find in the sometimes overpriced B & B world. Great Job!

My gf and I stayed here a few weeks ago and loved the Inn. Mark and Dana were excellent hosts and provided us with great suggestions on things to do in Newport. The room and bathroom were superb and we will look to stay here again next year when we come up for the Jazz festival.

Mark was very friendly from the start of my reservations through our stay. The breakfasts were wonderful. Every day we were asked how our day was and if there was anything required by them (dinner reservations, suggestions, etc). My husband enjoyed his 60th birthday eminencely. There was only one itty bitty issue, I requested and purchased truffles to be in our room upon arrival and a card that was to have written in it Happy Birthday Dad, Love Ryan and the card only had Happy Birthday and my husband thought it came from the Inn personally. Thank you for a wonderful memory! Pat & Ed

The owner's of this bed and breakfast are on the property 24/7 to make you stay as comfortable and as pleasing as possible. The food is great, the atmosphere is better and the inn as a whole is the best. I have had the pleasure being a guess at many inns and share a great pleasure on visiting many, but this inn is so unique and the owner's make every possible effort to whatever you wish, I will not partake in any other inn at Newport becasue I know Marshall Slocum can not be beat.

What a quaint and charming stay at the Marshall Slocum Inn. The room was lovely with its beautiful decor of antiques and the New England charm. We were welcomed as guests and hosted with delicious specialty breakfast each morning. We will be guests again next time we come back to Newport.

We have to honestly say that the Marshall Slocum Inn is our favorite place to stay in Newport. After trying several other Inns in the past, we have finally found our home away from home. The Inn is superb; accommodations are immaculate & very comfortable; probably the best gourmet breakfast you'll find. It wouldn't be summer without visiting Mark & Dana. This is a gem!

My husband and I stayed last weekend and were so happy with the place! The house is so quaint and has a gorgeous front porch (with a swing seat) overlooking the quiet street and gorgeous big green trees. The grounds are perfectly kept and Mark cooked us a delicious breakfast on both mornings. We did not take a car and the location was great - short walk to the main part of town/water/restaurants etc. our room was lovely, with the most comfortable bed I have slept in for ages! no tv (which ended up being a good thing) but you can use the portable dvd players and borrow from their dvd collection. would recommend to anyone, really great find!

This B & B is decorated tastefully and elegantly, with uncluttered simplicity. The breakfast each morning was wonderful, including great coffee. We could walk to town, yet come back to a quiet residential neighborhood. Our 3 nights in April 2008 were just delightful.

Our recent one night stay at the Marshall Slocum Guest House was one of the highlights of our short visit to Newport. Upon arrival at the Inn we were warmly greeted by Mark who was quick to offer us helpful information for exploring Newport (it was our first trip to this city). Since our time there was limited to just one day, we wanted to make the most of it. Mark's friendly advice and recommendations helped us to "hit the high points." We especially appreciated the convenient location of the Inn as we were able to take a delightful evening walk into town for dinner and a movie. The Inn itself was lovely; tastefully decorated with thoughtfully appointed furnishings throughout. Our accommodations in The Brass Room were most comfortable. We found the room itself and the private bath to be sparkling clean, and the selection of amenities just right. Breakfast in the dining room was a real treat! An excellent chef, Mark prepared a delicious breakfast, the presentation of which was beautiful! The blueberry pancakes were out of this world! Mark and Dana's warm hospitality and commitment to excellence are evident in every aspect. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.

I recently stayed at the Marsall Slocum Inn for a weekend getaway with my girlfriend in Newport. I made my reservations online, and chose the room after looking at the pictures they had on the website. I must say that when I got there I was pleasantly surprised. The location of the Inn is fantastic, Mark and Dana were great and the room exceeded my expectations. My next stay in Newport will be at the Marshall Slocum Inn.
