The Victoria Skylar

My girlfriend and I visited The Victoria Skylar on Labor Day long weekend for two nights. We had a great B&B experience there. The Victoria Skylar is beautiful and comfortable. Also, inn owners Derek and Ann were so friendly and treated us well that made us felt like staying in our own house. Two breakfasts we had there is undoubtedly delicious and it was even better than eating outside in the restaurant! I will recommend people to stay in The Victoria Skylar for sure!

Great location and lovely innkeepers. Awesome breakfast...it's a true bed and breakfast. Recommended

I cannot believe how lucky we were to find this gem of a B&B. We attended the Newport Folk Festival and decided we wanted to stay within walking distance to the ferry and to downtown Newport. Not only was this so easily located for both (less than a 10 minute walk to the ferry and just few more blocks to the heart of downtown Newport), Ann and Derric made this trip so incredibly memorable. The breakfasts they serve are stellar (like 5 star, gourmet stellar). The Victoria Skylar is the very definition of hospitable. One night we returned to the B&B just as a monstrous rain storm started and Ann very kindly offered us some delicious wine and food to pass the time with. Also, price-wise you really can't beat it (the Marriott down the street was almost a $100 more a night we learned.) The accommodations are very cozy and welcoming (the bed was incredibly comfortable) and the inn is perfectly situated close to the water for a morning stroll. It is also incredibly close to the bridge so it is very easy to get in and out of the area if you decide to venture outside of Newport (we went across the bridge to Jamestown for dinner one night - highly recommend since it is much less crowded). We will absolutely be staying here again next year!

Great place to get away, love it. Come here several times a year. Food was awesome. Beds comfy, hosts awesome.

Derek and Ann were fantastic hosts. They were respectful and curious about our non-traditional diets (vegan and paleo) and came up with an incredible breakfast that was simply delicious! I don't usually expect to have my dietary needs met when I travel and this was truly a delight.

Excellent location to town and wonderful amenities. The bedroom was very "homey" and comfortable and the breakfasts were amazingly wonderful. The backyard garden was beautiful. Couldn't ask for better accomdations.

Our first B&B stay, and we can't imagine anything being better than this! Loved the attention to detail...cozy and inviting decor, elegant dining, room comfort and conveniences. Great value, reasonably priced for the high quality of service and amenities we received. Highly recommended! Ann and Derek were exemplary hosts!

The breakfasts are awesome, and Ann and Derek are great hosts. Good advice on local dining, sites to see, and just chat about anything. Already looking forward to a return visit.....

Excellent value, charming hosts, beautifully kept and appropriately appointed. Lots of local information from Ann & Derek and many reference books available in sitting room to enjoy & learn more about Newport.

Overall the place was nice. I liked how it was close to shops and retaurants! I would definitely stay here again!!

Very caring hosts, outstanding breakfast menu and settling (incl. candles during Irene power outage..)!

This bed and breakfast will definitely meet and exceed your expectations. Saying the breakfast is gourmet is an understatement! All of the little touches are very appreciated - the fresh flowers, wine and cheese in the garden. Ann and Derek are wonderful because they are there to help you and have conversations with, but also give you your privacy. Overall a wonderful experience - Next time we go back to Newport we will definitely stay with them again!

Ann and Derek Coulton, the innkeepers, were warm and receptive. The accommodations were perfect - great location, the room was nicely decorated, comfortable and well sized bed, spacious bathroom and community snacks and drinks. The breakfast menu is elaborate and presented at a beautiful formally set dining room table. This bed and breakfast far exceeded our expectations and we would certainly stay here again.

Quick walk to harbor dock and town area. Very quiet and relaxing. Great wifi for free. TV with nice selection of DVDs. Breakfast was outstanding.

Extremely clean and comfortable accommodations. Outstanding attention to details to enhance your comfort. Beautiful flower bouquets in every room. Exceptional breakfasts were beyond gourmet and plentiful. The secret garden is an added enjoyment. Delightful and knowledgeable innkeepers--felt like Ann and Derek were old friends by the time we left.

Delightful stay in extremely comfortable rooms and fantastic food beautifully served. Great location, easy walk to bayside park and town. Highly recommended this lovely B&B

It was beautiful and comfortable. The house was filled with the spirit of newport. The host made you feel right at home. It was a perfect experience.

The Victoria Skylar B&B far surpassed our expectations since it was a last minute booking. The innkeepers' attention to detail and hospitality is noticeable upon entering. The breakfast was wonderful.

Cleanest inn I have ever stayed at. Rooms are like new, victorian style with amazingly comfortable beds. Breakfast was beyond gourmet, homemade scones and tea breads to die for, you can smell them baking as you wake. close to everything in Newport. Two minute walk to the harbour. Inn keepers very accommodating. Great attention to detail in both food and rooms. Would recomend to anyone. I'll be back.

The Victoria Skylar Bed and Breakfast made our first trip to Newport, RI very memorable. Not only were the Inn Keepers personable and interesting to talk to, but the room was very comfortable and clean. The 3 course breakfast was outstanding. We can't wait until Ann's cookbook is published as we would like to share the recipies with our friends and family. We highly recommended The Victoria Skylar to my sister and brother-in-law who live in CT for their next trip to Newport. Thanks for a great get away!

ALTHOUGH IT WAS ONLY 2 DAYS, OUR STAY AT THE VICTORIA SKYLAR WAS UNFORGETABLE. THE INN KEEPERS, DEREK AND ANN, WERE ENJOYABLE. THEY MADE BREAKFASTS FIT FOR A KING. GREAT SERVICE. GREAT FOOD. AND THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL WITH IDEAS AND DIRECTIONS OF THE AREA'S POINTS OF INTEREST.. THANK YOU VICTORIA SKYLAR, LUKE AND MICHELLE GIBBONS

Great attention to details for the comfort of guests. Lovely extras like flowers in the room, water, wine glasses, extra pillow and blankets. Helpful dining and local information. Outstanding breakfast beautifully presented. We would return.
