Across from historic Hunter House in Newport's Point Section. This eloquent empire Victorian frame home was built in 1871 for Sarah Kendall, wife of a wealthy shipping merchant. Your hosts, Fran and Bryan Babcock, have furnished this bed and breakfast tastefully with eighteenth and nineteenth century antiques and family heirlooms. The air conditioned guest rooms (king, queen, double bed, all with private baths) overlook Narragansett Bay, Hunter House where George Washington spent much of his Newport days, or the manicured gardens. Just a five minute walk to the attractions of downtown Newport. The Point neighborhood is one of Newport's most fascinating neighborhoods, where perfectly preserved Colonial homes exist side by side with spectacular Victorian mansions.

5 out of 5Sarah Kendall House a great Newport B&B
September 19, 2012
We were thrilled to find this B& B. It is a wonderful Victorian done to the 9's with gorgeous gardens and the best cat , "Roady" I have ever met. Raody stays outside of the B&B but greats you on the veranda porch as you lookout at Newport Harbor. It was our anniversary and we were treated as though we had advised them of this which we had not. Our room was lovely and spacious full of antiques, except for the amazing bed whichwas so comfortable and pillows also very good. The breeze was gentle and came in through our open windows. Breakfast was very good also with everything imagineable offered. We chose pecan and blueberry pancakes, bacon, juice, coffee and fresh cranberry muffins Yogourt and fruit and bagels were also set out. Our host Brian was a very nice fellow. We engaged him in a conversation and learned all about the history of his and his wife's B&B and some family history as well. Like a relative who had been awarded Congressional Medal of Honor in the Civil War. We cannot say enough about the Sarah Kendall House and it's new tower !

August 05, 2012
We've stayed in B& B's up and down the east coast, some spectacular, some kitschy. We used B & B.com gift card to stay here and never heard from the innkeepers confirming our reservation - even after calling and leaving a message to please call us as we were traveling a great distance. Perhaps, B & B.com needs to release the same confirmation we received to innkeepers as well? The house is lovely, though it must be made clear that if staying in one of the three tower rooms, one has to climb three flights of stairs and go outdoors around to the front entrance for breakfast.. Take notice of the gardens, they are beautiful and during the summer months attract lots of monarch butterflies! Our room was small but suited our needs with exception of the older queen size mattress and mediocre linens. Also, no personal notebook about the inn or the area with suggestions, etc... just maps and local tourist booklets. Bryan was kind enough to send us to Anthony's in Middletown for exactly what we wanted - a local's place for seafood, not an overpriced meal on Thames. We walked all around Newport and down to the water/pier and before heading to an early dinner, we refreshed with sodas and water, peanuts and popcorn on the porch. We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset from the front porch later in the evening. Breakfast was served by a young assistant and was plentiful , with fresh fruit, bagels from the shoppe Bryan owns and pancakes made to order. Nothing fancy or gourmet but substantial nonetheless. Summer rates in Newport are high, would return in off season!

May 25, 2012
Really enjoyed our stay with Bryan at the Sarah Kendall House. The living and dinning rooms are just beautiful, full of wonderful antiques. Come hungry to breakfast -- great food and abundant. The room was great, very comfortable bed and nicely decorated. Location is very good -- close to downtown but in a quiet neighborhood. Bryan knows the area well and will direct you to whatever interests you in Newport.
