We had a wonderful stay at the Artful Lodger! Heidi was so kind and helpful with tips on where to go and what to do. Great location and such a nice addition to have a home cooked breakfast in the lovely conservatory! We will definitely stay again when in Newport.

DISAPPOINTED and underwhelmed. After reading the reviews of the Artful Lodge, my boyfriend and I were beyond excited to stay at this B&B. The room was tiny, old and out of date. The single stall plastic shower was adequate and nothing more. The sink is right next to your bed across the room from the bathroom. Awkward.You could practically hear the guests breathing in the next room. And definitely could hear every cough, sneeze or trip to the bathroom. It was like giggling at a sleepover at the unexpected entertainment.However, the real breakdown happened at breakfast. We found our way to the top floor to see the epic lake view from the conservatory and were met at the top of the stairs by the cook (owner?). She greeted us with an eye roll and said, “oh, you aren’t here to eat are you?” This was during the 8 am - 10 am breakfast period. She was rude and awkward and we felt pressured to leave.No worries…we just ended up down the street at Corner Cafe (hot tip - this place is awesome!).

Room absolutely reeked of cigarette smoke. A sold out weekend for hotels left us with no choice for other accommodations. Disgusting and would not recommend this place unless you like the smell of a 80s Moose Lodge.

be very careful if you make a reservation with a special rate-they will cancel you and use the excuse that "expedia overbooked". if you look at their website to make a reservation, there is a graph of the rooms and dates and what is available or an 'x' appears if not available, so how can my confirmed reservation, made 14 months ago with hotels.com, be overbooked-their words using 'expedia' and 'overbooked'. then she commented at the room rate! and hung up on me and sent 2 more of my calls to their recording. my "best available rate" was $40 plus taxes. this is all in the confirmation email, dated july 18, 2022, and to "please save or print this email as your receipt". they cancelled me 48 hrs before my trip to newport, to attend my 55th high school reunion, so i am not a young adult. shame on them.

Wonderful place to stay in Newport! The owner made our stay enjoyable from the moment we arrived. She gave us a helpful overview of the area and in the morning were provided fresh coffee and a tasty breakfast in the conservatory overlooking Newport. We enjoyed the free and convenient parking, large comfortable room, and overall cozy feel of the inn.

Stayed in the Captain Jorgen room on the first floor. The mattress is an amazing tempurpedic type mattress. Nice and quiet location. Great view from the conservatory. Heidi is such a great hostess. Her breakfast is AMAZING! You can text any questions that might come up to the host. The location is awesome if you want to go to the mansions. The Elms mansion is around the corner. There is a trolley nearby to take you down to The Breakers. We did a 20 minute walk there, then to the cliffwalk, and took the trolley back. There is a close by market if you want to pick up snacks for your stay.

We had a wonderful stay this weekend in The Artful Lodger Inn.Honestly when we booked it we didn’t have much expectations from the photos online, however they do not do this place justice.The rooms were spotless clean, the bed and pillows were very comfy.The welcome cookies on arrival were a lovely treat.We were arriving in late and this was accommodated for us.The breakfast was fantastic and they went above and beyond to do takeout for us as we had an early start Saturday morning. We will definitely be back to stay, this truly is a little gem!Rooms: Very clean and comfortable.Nearby activities: Walkable to downtownWalkability: Close to lots of placesFood & drinks: Delicious breakfast cooked to order was included

A friend and I stayed at the Artful Lodger Inn for three nights. We loved every minute of it. The house has so much charm and the room we stayed in (The Victoria Room) was clean. The king size bed was so comfortable, and the bedding was of nice quality. Heidi is probably the best host I have ever encountered. She is extremely friendly and so willing to help with anything. I also love the fact this house is so close to town and also close to the Cliff Walk. We were able to park our car in their (free) parking lot and walk everywhere. We didn't have to worry about driving around trying to find a parking spot. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast. If I go back to Newport, I will definitely stay here again.

This place is so cute, and who doesn't love hot tubs in the room. I've stayed here several times. Heidi, the innkeeper is amazing. She will give suggestions and ideas. And when you forget something important in your room after check out she will completely support you in getting it back to you. ♥️♥️♥️♥️I will stay here again and again.

Really charming place to stay! It was a great location to everything in Newport plus on-site parking. Includes a great top floor conservatory with wine at sunset and breakfast in the morning. Will definitely be returning!

Great B&B in Newport just off the touristy main drag. Can't go wrong here. Customer service & satisfaction are outstanding. Owner goes above & beyond to meet your needs.

I loved this little inn! It's comfortable, clean, cozy, charming, in a fantastic location close to the cliff walk, the mansions (Elms is literally next door) and walkable to downtown. Free bus 67 also runs within a 3 minute walk. And! The breakfast is absolutely delicious, made by the knowledgeable, friendly, patient and always helpful inn keeper. Next time I'm back, this is the place I'll be staying!

We just returned from a four night stay at the Artful Lodger Inn in Newport, RI and it was wonderful! Our room was perfect! (Estelle Suite) Our breakfasts were delicious and was accompanied by an incredible view from the breakfast room. The Inn's location is great, too. Within walking distance to the downtown area, but just enough removed that its nice & quiet at night. We were in town for the Jazz Festival and the Artful Lodger Inn was a lovely, relaxing stay after hot, busy days! We will be back for sure!
