The Artful Lodger earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, driven by its superb central Newport location, genuinely warm hosting from owner Heidi, and a standout cooked-to-order breakfast served in a top-floor atrium with beautiful views. Recurring gripes include a poor TV/streaming setup with no local or sports channels, dated décor with some maintenance niggles, and steep staircases that can be a real barrier for guests with mobility challenges.
- Poor TV setup — no cable, local, or sports channels; streaming service only
- Dated decor and some maintenance issues (broken fridge, slow-draining sink)
- Steep/narrow staircases making breakfast room inaccessible for mobility-impaired guests
- Noise and light bleed between rooms; limited sound and light insulation
- Limited in-room storage — no closet space, no bedside plugs in some rooms
“The Artful Lodger is a great place to stay in Newport! The complimentary breakfast is exceptional and the dining room sits atop with an expansive view of the town.”
“It's an old Victorian house designed as a B&B Inn. Hosts were delightful and helpful. Place is funky not modern. If you want pristine matching modern decor, this is not that.”
“Hard to keep out light and noise, exterior and interior, little insulation windows, between floors, plumbing needs some seeing to.”
“The biggest drawback was the small staircase going up to the breakfast room. I use a cane so that was not an option for me.”
“Heidi, the hostess/owner was warm, personable, and very helpful. Delicious breakfasts in the beautiful atrium.”
