    Great 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.

    Time away from the hustle

    April 10, 2013

    This old house has been turned into a lovely B&B. A few things that we didn't care for: to watch t.v., you had to come downstairs in the common area, there was no access to water or ice without going into the innkeepers kitchen and asking, the breakfast was nothing exceptional. The innkeepers were down-to-earth people and nice.

    Excellent anniversary spot!

    March 31, 2013

    We loved this beautiful home - wish we could have stayed longer! We received a very warm welcome from the owners, complete with guided tour. Breakfast was hearty, healthy, and so tasty and we enjoyed meeting and chatting with other couples staying there. What a great location, too; so much was within walking distance.

    Home Away From Home

    March 20, 2013

    This was my first experience at a B&B , it wont be my last. Upon my arrival Sandy made me feel very welcome and a gave me a very nice tour of the home. I was immediately impressed by the historic and current day mix of the decor. I became very comfortable very quickly, it was as if I were at home. I enjoyed a nice soak in the tub/jacuzzi that evening, followed by a pleasant sleep in the Nancy Room. In the morning I was greeted by Ken and the wonderful aroma of fresh brewed coffee. Ken offered up some coffee and nice conversation, an extermely nice start to the day. Breakfast was promptly served at 9:00 a.m. and was very nice with a home cooking flair. I was spoiled for two nights at Gateway and felt so at home. When Im back in town I wont shop around , this is the place for me. When Im in Newport KY again, I cant wait to go go home again to Gateway Bed and Breakfast!!

    Excellent location, delightful hosts, and very pleasant accomodations

    February 22, 2013

    We were new to visiting the Newport/Cincinnati area and couldn't have enjoyed our experience more. So much to do in the area, and Ken and Sandy have made their place a warm, comfortable home away from home for their guests.

    Perfect getaway!

    February 13, 2013

    My wife and I were looking for a romantic getaway near Cincy. Gateway offered just the perfect place! Gateway's spacious and luxurious rooms are located just a short drive or long walk from downtown Cincy. A refreshing walk from the attractions and dining at Newport on the Levee and only a hop-skip-and-a-jump from Pompillios, an excellent date restaurant. When we wanted to stay in and relax, both our room and the house provided plenty of space to meet our needs. The only downside was that we were often so full from the delicious breakfast, that we didn't get to try more restaurants for lunch! Ken and Sandy are excellent hosts and love what they do - they have the gift of hospitality! -R&M from Geneva, IL
