"Arrived shortly before our dear friends, another couple we had made plans with back in February to meet at the Victorian Ladies Inn for a five-day stay. We booked two rooms with king-size beds. My husband and I had the Pauline Room, a lovely, huge, quiet room on the second floor in the back building that led us through a stoned archway and passed the amazing koi pond each time we returned to it. We were first greeted warmly by Harry the Innkeeper and given an overview of the area. We soon learned that the rest of the staff was just as welcoming, - from the most delicious breakfasts and afternoon tea with homemade cakes, cookies and scones by Cindy and Betty Jo, assisted by a very charming young lady we called "Dee Dee"- the inn really exceeded our expectations. We felt like family! The grounds were so lovely with little alcoves with stone tables where a glass or two of wine could be shared along with conversation about all the memories already made, and those to be made in fabulous Newport. We enjoyed everything, even the weather was wonderful. Couldn't ask for a better vacation - to enjoy the perfect place to stay with great friends, to experience the large variety of restaurants and local fare, to tour beautiful mansions, to find great shopping, and to marvel at beautiful waterviews and sunsets. We even won some money at the slots! Thank you to all at the Victorian Ladies Inn for your good care and for being the "springboard" to an unforgettable vacation! Karen and Carmine, July 2012"
