THE CLIFFSIDE INN, Newport – Your ideal downtown stay

The Cliffside Inn is a Victorian house with a deep yellow clapboard exterior and red tiled mansard roof, featuring a wraparound porch overlooking the lawn and water. It was the home of painter Beatrice Turner, and her original oil paintings are on display. The property offers a garden, free private parking, a terrace, and complimentary WiFi. A complimentary local cuisine breakfast, such as a spinach omelette with feta cheese and avocado toast, is served daily in the main parlour. The inn is located on Cliff Walk, a three-and-a-half mile walkway along the shoreline through historic mansions. Downtown Newport's shopping and dining on Thames Street is a 25-minute walk away. The property provides concierge services, a library with books including Beatrice Turner's biography, and a fireplace in the lobby.
