    Unique bed and breakfast. Great place for a romantic weekend. Very clean and comfortable with nice decor and privacy as well. Close to many attractions in Newport. I would definitely recommend a stay here.

    This was a lovely place with a courteous host, a very nice bed, and a luxurious jacuzzi (the one-person tub really is for one person only, unless you're both pretty small and don't mind being extremely... close). The neighborhood is a friendly and chill place. The only caution I would mention is that our room smelled very strongly of rose-scented air freshener. If you have any chemical sensitivities or just don't like strong artificial smells, you might ask about staying in a room other than the two "Rose" rooms.

    My wife and I visited Christopher's from Fort Myers so that we could attend her annual family reunion in Batavia, but not be too close. A series of unfortunate events leading to our arrival in a torrential downpour culminated in my wife slipping in the rain, twisting her ankle and breaking her iPhone screen. As we entered Christopher's and were greeted, "Hello, Harry and Pam. Welcome to Christopher's", I was immediately at ease with the charm and comfort of the lobby. I could feel my wife's mood altering as she adjusted to our new "home for a few days". The Governor's Suite was glorious, the stained glass is stunning, the hospitality was outstanding. Everything about out visit was relaxing, enlightening and pleasant. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for us. H&P

    Great weekend!

    We spent our second wedding anniversary here and booked the Riverboat Cruise through Christopher's. It was a fantastic time. She was a great host and the breakfast coffee cake was excellent! Her homemade coffee cake was better than anything we've tried. We will definitely be back. Thanks!

    Took my girlfriend to stay for the night for a belated birthday present. She instantly fell in love with the place. The stained glass windows were so beautiful that she took my camera so she could pictures of everyone of them along with everything else. The room was amazing it was better than we could have ever imagined. The sheets were amazing we almost didn't get out of bed once we go in them. The breakfast was great, you don't normally get a group of strangers together that can tall for over an hour and a half. I will recommend them to anyone look to travel to the Newport area.
