Inn Details
The Artful Lodger is a bright and airy Victorian built in 1850 located in the Mansion District, and centrally located within 5 minutes from downtown Newport's shopping and dining area. We guarantee you private off-street parking, private baths with all rooms and suites, and an exquisite gourmet breakfast in our conservatory overlooking the Newport Harbor. Our warmest welcome! When you stay with us, you will be neighboring "The Elms," a Newport mansion owned by the infamous robber baron, E. J. Berwind. The mansion is famous for its sunken gardens and lavish parties (even in present day). The secret coal tunnel designed by the coal magnate is steps away from our front door. It was used for discreetly transporting fuel for the first electric lights of the turn of the century elite's "summer cottages."

We stayed for two nights to celebrate our anniversary. The room was delightful, the hosts friendly and helpful and the food was superb. Great location. If you find narrow staircases difficult, you will have a hard time getting to the breakfast room. The innkeepers are very accommodating.
Lieza & Michael are great hosts

We stay at B&Bs because we like the personal touch offered by committed inn keepers when compared to hotels. Leiza and Michael are exemplary in this regard. We were the only guests in the off-season and Lieza offered us a free room upgrade. Even so the upgrade room was on the small side and the king bed pretty much filled the space. There was no closet so our cold weather ware took up all the hooks. The TV was a K-Mart special, only 14" screen, about 10 years old. There was free Wi-Fi. Breakfast was the real treat in the third floor dinning room, overlooking the Newport rooftops and Narragansett Bay. Lieza served fruit, pastries, juice, great coffee, and made-to-order omelets with the best home fries. The extra-special was a sample of Micheal's homemade applesauce he prepared for Thanksgiving diner. We would definitely stay here again. Jim & Helen
Peace and Quite with charm and perfect location!

This Bed and Breakfast was outstanding. The innkeeper's made us feel right at home. Both were friendly and helped figure out where to eat for dinner. The Deck. The next morning we had a wonderful and very filling breakfast. What also pleased us was we were across the Elm's Mansion and a short walk to town. I would give this Bed and Breakfast 5 stars!
