5 out of 5Outstanding B&B
November 11, 2012
My husband & I have stayed in B&BOutstanding's wherever we have travelled, both in the U.S. & abroad. Samuel Durfee is at the top of our list. Not only was it an outstanding experience in every way, but the hosts went above & beyond to make our stay pleasurable. We highly recommend a visit.

Our thanks to Michael and Heather for a wonderful stay at the Samuel Durfee house. Their house was warm and comfortable and situated in the heart of Newport with easy walking access to downtown. We plan to stay with Michael and Heather on our next trip to Newport and strongly recommend the Samuel Durfee house to anyone planning a vacation in Newport.

October 08, 2012
I booked a weekend stay at the SDH for my husband's 50th birthday. I was anxious that everything be "right" since this was the first time in almost 10 years that we'd been away together. Heather & Michael were superlative hosts, answering our questions and adding extra special touches (birthday cupcakes!), but not hovering to the point of interfering. The location cannot be beat: one block off of Thames so you can walk to everything, but at night we never heard a thing, not even the other guests. It was truly a perfect stay.

4.0 out of 5Hey! Hey! for the Owners!
September 30, 2012
The Samuel Durfee House is an extraordinary B&B. What makes it particularly so are its owners, Michael and Heather. Whenever there was a need or a wont, Michael or Heather was there. It was almost as though they anticipated those needs, those wonts. They were particularly helpful in providing guidance to the many sites available in Newport. But there were a myriad of other areas of assistance...providing a recipe for a tasty breakfast...carrying the bags...etc., etc., etc.

Enjoyed our time in Newport and our stay at the Samuel Durfee House
3.2 out of 5Comfortable rooms and close to town
August 27, 2012
Clean rooms and appreciated that the innkeeper kept a Book of menus from local restaurants on hand . Thoughtful that fresh baked cookies were available each afternoon. Onsight parking is appreciateed and convenient during high traffic seasons. Innkeepers weren't particularly engaging. Probably won't return.
4.2 out of 5Convenient and quaint with excellent customer service

Heather and Michael are fantastic hosts! We enjoyed our stay and would stay with them again, and likely will.
