  • Inn Details

    Located at the top of Newport's posh Hill, La Farge Perry House has a perfect location, within walking distance to all of the major attractions, yet far enough away from the active nightspots to provide a restful atmosphere for those that wish to relax. A full breakfast is served in a beautiful dining room where you are surrounded by scenes of Newport on a mural original to the house painted in 1900. With handmade linens and 300 thread count sheets, the rooms have extraordinary comfort; many with small sitting areas and most having either a single or double jacuzzi bath tubs. The local knowledge of Midge, the innkeeper, will amaze you with answers to any questions about the inn, Newport "hot spots" - for dining, dancing and live music.

    Our stay in Newport could not have been better at the La Farge Perry. Midge, the hostess, was FABOLOUS! Room was clean and the bathroom was huge with a nice tub. If I didnt mention the snacks and accommodations let me do it again. Midge was able to recommend restaurants. Midge's chocolate chip macaroons are top notch and there was only a few waiting for us when we got back. Special stuffed turnovers with breakfast were incredible as well. Ill let you in on a secret, she gives you the recipe when you check out! Thanks for a great stay....see you soon

    We loved our stay at the La Farge Perry house. This is our second visit and it was just as pleasant as the first time. Midge is an outstanding host as well as cook just as we remembered her. The blueberry scones, macaroons, and fresh jams were delicious. We stayed at the John La Farge room, which was elegantly decorated. It was a great start to the New Year in Newport.

    I had a great stay at La Farge Perry! The rooms have a historic feel and are decorated beautifully. The only suggestion I would have is for the rooms to be dusted and cleaned a little better. I could see the dust on the walls and in other areas. I could also see areas that needed a good cleaning; however the linens and beroom sheets were very clean.

    Our first experience was the day before we arrived. When I registered, I indicated that we thought we would arrive around 2 p.m. Midge called me to say that check-in time was 3 p.m., but if we wanted we could come any time after 1 p.m. No matter how nice a place may look, it is only as good as the ambiance offered by the innkeeper. We found Midge to be a pleasure to speak with, a fount of local knowledge, and a great chef/baker. When Midge found out we hadn't made dinner reservations we had a reservation at "the best Italian restaurant" in Newport before our suitcase was in our room. Breakfasts were delicious, with fresh fruit, eggs/pancakes/french toast made to order, and wonderful blueberry scones. The house itself was beautiful, spotless, and conveniently located, if not really within close walking distance to most of the tourist attractions in Newport. I don't necessarily know when we will be back in Newport, but I do know that we wouldn't go anywhere else. And we will tell all our friends and family that there is only one place to stay -- at the La Farge Perry House. Shelton, CT

    A warm welcome with helpful information about Newport and the B&B itself, then a lovely and comfortable room, great bathroom with top toiletries and nice views of the garden and nearby homes. Breakfasts were superior with great choices beautifully prepared. Flowers from the B&B garden were everywhere, creatively arranged.
