A Great Place to Stay!
We had an excellent stay in the Lark suite and the host Peter was super helpful! The room was incredibly clean, the hotel is in a great location and the daily breakfast with pastries, frittatas, and smoothies was such a nice treat! Will definitely be back.

Beautiful and friendly
The Attwater is a beautiful boutique B&B in downtown Newport. Check in was easy and friendly. We got upgraded to the king suite which had 2 large rooms and a decent sized bathroom. Everything is clean and bright colors. A teapot and coffee are out all day which is a nice touch. Breakfast was a wonderful array of tapas style offerings. I would stay here again!

Wonderful little hotel in Newport for couples geta
We were in Newport for a show and decided to book this hotel. It was BEAUTIFUL. A cozy hotel with only a few rooms (Maybe 10-20?) but so beautifully decorated. The room was comfortable and extremely clean. The manger was so welcoming and personable. The breakfast the next morning was made up of a bunch of small but delicious options including a frittata, fruit smoothies in little shot glasses, overnight oats etc.... We would absolutely stay here again

Great stay after Xmas
Great place with modern-beach vibes in a historic building. 1 min walk to Tennis Hall of Fame.
The only small negative-too hot at night, had some difficulty regulating room temp.
