Michael and Heather are the most delightful hosts and obviously enjoy what they do because their sincerity shines through. They were really helpful about plans and trips we wanted to do and very knowledgeable about their town and local area. The house is very homely and welcoming and nothing is a trouble. We will definitely stay here again. Howard and Margaret UK

This is only the second bed and breakfast I have stayed at in Newport and I won't look anywhere else. Heather and Michael were wonderful hosts and made our stay as enjoyable as possible. We stayed in the Ida Lewis room which was very nice, very clean and even had our own little outside balcony. The breakfasts were amazing and they are both very helpful at giving suggestions about what to do or see. I would highly recommend staying at the Samuel Durfee House and we will definitely be coming back.

Stayed for 2 nights early in the off season. Michael and Heather were more than hospitable, providing company, answering questions about Newport, and helping us sort through the numerous activities available. They were eager to suggest some fantastic restaurants for lunch and dinner, but our best meals were surely breakfasts at the house. The room was gorgeous, too; well maintained, well appointed, and spotless. We hope to return sometime soon.

This place was the perfect weekend getaway. Micheal and Heather could not do enough to make us feel comfortable. The room was spotless and cozy. Breakfast was delicious and satisfying including the homemade cookies. This was our first bed and breakfast and would highly recommend this place and go back to it in the future. It felt like a home away from home. You can't go wrong staying here.
