Inn Details
Across from historic Hunter House in Newport's Point Section. This eloquent empire Victorian frame home was built in 1871 for Sarah Kendall, wife of a wealthy shipping merchant. Your hosts, Fran and Bryan Babcock, have furnished this bed and breakfast tastefully with eighteenth and nineteenth century antiques and family heirlooms. The air conditioned guest rooms (king, queen, double bed, all with private baths) overlook Narragansett Bay, Hunter House where George Washington spent much of his Newport days, or the manicured gardens. Just a five minute walk to the attractions of downtown Newport. The Point neighborhood is one of Newport's most fascinating neighborhoods, where perfectly preserved Colonial homes exist side by side with spectacular Victorian mansions.

This was our second visit to Sarah Kendall, and we were thrilled to be in the same room as before. Brian was as helpful as ever, and still produces the finest breakfast I've had in the USA
Wonderful Weekend!

We did not want to leave! The home is absolutely beautiful and Bryan could not have been more accomodating. We loved hearing the history of the area first hand. It was my husband's first time staying at a B&B and he really enjoyed himself. Our stay topped off our trip!
Romantic Perfection!

My husband and I decided to take a last minute quick trip to Newport and stumbled across he Sarah Kendall House while looking for a place to stay. Boy were we pleased. While walking over town, we saw other highly rated bed and breakfasts, and were SO HAPPY we decided to stay at the Sarah Kendall House. Everything was absolutely perfect. The location was so perfect! Within walking distance to the downtown area, but nestled in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by other historic homes. The impecably clean house is gorgeously decorated inside and out, with a huge wrap-around porch over-looking the harbor, and beautiful gardens surrounding the house. The breakfast spread every morning was so huge, one didn't know what to eat first! Bryan was a wealth of knowledge about the area, and made himself available to answer our questions all weekend long. My husband especailly enjoyed the brandy and cookies that were left out for all of the guests to enjoy, while I particularly enjoyed the fresh apples left out. Bottom line... when we return to Newport, we will FOR SURE be staying at Sarah Kendall House again. We LOVED it!
One of the very best Bed and Breakfast

We've stayed in many B&B's, especially in the New England area, and the Sarah Kendall House ranks among the best. We stayed here in June 2011 when our son graduated from the Navy OCS. They prepare the most amazing breakfast each morning - homemade bagles and pastries, eggs, sausage, hash browns, and fruit are among the many delicious selections of breakfast items. The house is beautifully furnished with antiques and captures an era of long ago. The location is conveniently within walking distance to many restuarants and shops. Be sure to ask Brian for recommendations for lunch or supper. A lush colorful garden surrounds the side yard and there's an old-fashion front porch on which to enjoy an early morning cup of coffee or a cool evening breeze. This B&B was truly a delightful place to stay. I highly recommend it. Diane H. Slidell, LA
