Fresh-squeezed lemonade and tea are served on the porch, and crackers and cheese are available in the evenings.

Expert Tip. The 1748 Hunter House, located across the street from the Sarah Kendall House, was used as a Revolutionary War headquarters for Charles Louis d'Arsac, a French admiral. The house is furnished with pieces designed by Newport artisans Townsend and Goddard, and also showcases a painting by Gilbert Stuart, a well-known early-American portraitist. Seasonal tours of the home are provided for a fee.

Recommended Trip type: Romance "Fabulous Find!!"

Reviewed by Denise of Mount Sinai on Apr 1, 2009

We stayed for two short nights and what a wonderful experience! The house is so charming filled with antiques and period decor yet so comfortable. The bedding was very comfy, the room spotless, the tower overlooking the Bay was so unique. You could really tell that the innkeepers Brian and Fran love this home by the way it is kept. What wonderful people Fran and Brian the innkeepers are. They were so warm and really made us feel right at home. Breakfast was delicious and hearty, conveniently located in walking distance to town and excellent service. We will be back and we are sending our partents!

Reviewed by Lindsay of Connecticut on Aug 19, 2007

We had a fantastic time when we stayed at the Sarah Kendall House, the owners are very accomodating and sweet, and the B&B itself was extremely well-kept and spacious. There is a lookout on top of the house to see all around Newport and breakfast in the morning is outstanding, I highly recommend this place!
