We had a very nice stay at Gateway. Our room was beautiful and clean and the bed was comfortable with nice linens and pillows. We loved all of the antiques around the home, and especially got a kick out of an old magazine provided in our room. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was nice with beautiful place settings, fresh fruit, yogurt, a casserole, and goetta.

The Gateway is a great place to stay when visiting the Cincinnati area. It is a short walk to Newport on the Levee which has many shops and restaurants, as well as an aquarium and a movie theater. The innkeepers are great, and the breakfasts were fabulous!

After serving in the Air Force in Europe, we developed a love of staying in B&Bs when we travel. So, while planning a trip to attend a Cincinnati Reds Baseball game, we wanted to stay close to the ball park & the Hofbrau House. After searching your site, the description of Gateway seemed to match our needs. Let me just say, it far surpassed the description we read. Sandy & Ken were gracious hosts who answered all our questions, gave great recommendations, served a delicious breakfast (and pound cake as we arrived) and made you feel completely at home. The rooms were filled with antiques with great stories, the bath tub was no ordinary jacuzzie, I did not want to get out! Then, after breakfast Ken had a surprise for us (I won't spoil the treat, so just ask him to help you work off the calories from breakfast). We will tell all our friends about our great find & we will return! Ken & Kay

5 out of 5A wonderful getaway in Newport Kentucky
May 16, 2013
We truly enjoyed our stay at Ken and Sandy's Inn in Newport. The house is absolutely beautiful, super clean, and such a great value. There is off and on street parking, walking distance to music venues, great restaurants, and Newport on the Levee. The rooms are well furnished and Sandy provides all the necessities – soaps, shampoos, towels, hair dryer, and a great soaking tub. For breakfast - I had a cup of tea and sat out in the beautiful garden and enjoyed the scenery. Ken served up a homemade breakfast - sausage, bacon, toast, eggs, juices, fruit, banana nut bread, and coffee to fuel us for our day! We felt as if we were at home - yet had all the privacy that we needed. I would not hesitate to stay here again on our next trip to Newport.

My husband and I came to Newport for a concert that was within walking distance. The house is also within walking distance of Newport on the Levee and the Newport Aqaurium. Sandy gave us a nice tour of the house when we arrived. The house is beautiful and much nicer than a hotel. Breakfast was delicious, Ken and Sandy are wonderful hosts.
5 out of 5Gateway B&B is First-Class all the way!
May 13, 2013
Ken & Sandy are excellent hosts and make the stay at their immaculate B&B a real pleasure! The house is an amazingly clean and comfortable museum of sorts, with antiques and interesting historical artifacts throughout. The accommodations are very modern and comfortable without distracting from the feeling that you are staying in a 19th century home. I would not hesitate to make the highest possible recommendation to anyone considering staying at Gateway B&B.
4.0 out of 5Great little B&B in Newport, KY
May 07, 2013
Gateway B&B is a little jewel in a jewel of a town on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River. It was a great place to stay, with easy walking and driving access to downtown Cincinnati. Sandy and Ken Clift couldn't be better hosts - warm, friendly and helpful - and the breakfasts were great! If we go back to the area, we would happily stay with them again.

Goetta
The Germans that settled in Cincinnati came up with this dish. It has lots of grains, spices, and pork and it is packaged like a roll of sausage. We slice it, fry it and serve it with eggs. A real favorite!Special meal options
