Off-season at the Outlook
My stay at the Outlook was perfect. My room was outstanding and the shower was worth the money itself. The manager, Serena, was warm, welcoming and helpful. The provided breakfast was delicious. I’ll be back for sure

Wonderful property and staff, but could be noisy
This bed and breakfast was newly updated, very comfortable, had an extremely attentive staff, and a delicious breakfast. The only reason we can't give it 5 stars is due to the noise level. The walls and floors are very thin and if you are unlucky enough to have active neighbors, it will ruin your stay. We were up till 4:30am while the wedding party goers were stomping around above us. I can't blame the property owners or staff...it's not really their fault and this is what you sign up for in a bed and breakfast when you are essentially rooming with others in a home converted into a hotel. I would consider staying again, but would never stay on the first floor again. The ear plugs available in the breakfast area should have been clue!

Great location! Parking is a bit far away and room is very strongly scented. It’s a bit irritating smell.

Brilliant small bed and breakfast for a stay right in the centre of Newport. Clean quiet and run by friendly people, and ideally located to explore town and the wharfs on foot. Amazing breakfasts too! Wonderful fresh home cooking every morning. Car park is a five minute walk away on foot but that is the only thing to note.

The property is beautifully maintained and the inn keepers are very pleasant. They serve a very nice breakfast and are happy to accomodate dietary preferences. Our room was the only one on the third floor, thus it was the largest and very comfortable. However, guests should be aware that there are no elevators, so luggage needs to be carried by yourself on the stairs to the 2nd and 3rd floor.

Close to waterfront.
This is a great place. The women who welcome you, clean your room, and make breakfast for you, are incredible! The room looked updated. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was excellent every morning. The view deck was a great place to have a glass of wine and relax! So many food choices in Newport! Outlook Inn is walkable to the waterfront. Our room smelled of air freshener, when I asked to not have that in my room they were very accommodating! The Inn is on a busy street and you can hear that noise (we had a front room so unsure if other rooms are the same). We also could hear the couple above us. We still enjoyed our stay!

Serena, Ashley and the rest of the staff really went out of their way to make our stay fantastic. The Outlook is beautifully decorated and comfortable, and the location is ideal for walking around Newport’s wharf section. The daily breakfast was also delicious and the third floor deck provided sweeping views of the harbor. I highly recommend the Outlook Inn for anyone desiring a beautiful and relaxing visit to Newport.

Perfect location in Newport
Perfect location walkable to wharf, restaurants, and shopping. Lovely room and large enough for a couple. The inn keeper was delightful- she and her team prepared fabulous breakfast and served on a beautiful third floor terrace overlooking the water!
