“There's a palpable sense of history here, from the carefully preserved 1700s architecture to the modern luxuries discreetly woven in; the gourmet breakfasts and serene garden courtyard set it apart. It stands steps from Thames Street, yet it also feels like a private escape designed for genuine relaxation and a taste of Newport's charm. A true gem.”
