    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."

    Great location - great B&B!

    June 17, 2013

    We stayed in the room with the balcony - great room, loved the fireplace, loved the screened in porch, and would have loved the private outdoor balcony if it hadn't been raining. Brought some wine, stored it in the mini-fridge, and had a nice glass of wine on the screened porch while playing a game of backgammon (provided by B&B)- very relaxing. B&B is in a great location, walking distance to the mansions and to the wharf area. Hosts were friendly, helpful, and sat down with us after breakfast and shared stories. Great, relaxing weekend! Highly recommend.

    Great place for a quick getaway!

    June 10, 2013

    We stayed at the Artful Lodger for the night before Memorial Day. The innkeepers were especially helpful and friendly. The room was clean and larger than expected with a king size bed and a private bathroom. The inn is located right behind the gardens at the Elms and only a short walk to other mansions or the harbor for shops and dining. The food was excellent, and the views of the harbor from the dining room were exquisite. I would highly recommend the Artful Lodger to anyone looking for an outstanding Newport getaway!

    Michael and Lieza are the best hosts. Breakfast was great and so was their advice on things to do. It's located in a convenient area that is very close to the center of town. Our room was very clean and well kept. They were very attentive to all our needs. We would highly recommend staying here when visiting Newport. We felt at home, and look forward to our next visit.

    A diamond in the ruff

    May 05, 2013

    What a great stay! We were looking for nice place close to everything that doesn't break the bank. This was it. The innkeepers Lieza and Mike were so hospitable and the breakfast was fantastic! We were close enough to walk to everything, yet still in a residential neighborhood off the main road. The room we stayed in was quiet, but small. They do have larger rooms, but we weren't looking for much, just a clean place to stay and close to downtown. Would most definitely go back!!

    Newport B & B

    April 16, 2013

    We stayed overnight to celebrate our anniversary and we were pleasantly surprised when they upgraded us to a larger room. The breakfast was fantastic - both the food and the view of Newport Harbor. Great location in walking distance of mansions and harbor.
