Lovely stay at Yankee Peddler for two nights while we visited Newport. Easy check-in, cute rooms, front desk were very helpful in resolving our heating issue and on-hand to answer any questions we had. Continental breakfast was standard with cereal options, muffins/pastry, oatmeal and fruit (I'm there for the fruit) and available for a good duration. Rooms could use a new mattress and new sheets (getting a bit old). Can't beat the location as it's a short 4 min walk around the corner to the main downtown street of Newport.

pleasant stay in a convenient spot. The walls are pretty thin so we were disturbed by groups of people on our floor coming and going. The shower didn't drain very well. Other than those 2 issues, nice property

The area and location was very good. The room was clean but needed some updating. The bathroom was tiny. I don't think the room was worth the price.

Beautiful historical great location.
Overall excellent experience, beautiful place historic neighborhood within walking distance of most attractions and restaurants. Staff were helpful and friendly with the exception of one woman on Tuesday morning who must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed. She glared at me when I told her we needed toilet paper. Eventually our room was made up and it was fine.

The staff was extremely helpful throughout our stay and there were many amenities within the property. The room itself was dusty and there were many insects and webs around the corners of the room when we checked in. The corners of the room and walls could have been dusted and vacuumed. Otherwise, we had a great stay and we would stay again.

First time to Newport. We chose this property based on location/cost. Once parked we walked into town for lunch/dinner sightseeing. We stayed in the carriage house. Room was small but adequate. Shower is small. This is to be expected when converting a property into a small Inn. Meg at the front desk was very helpful. Breakfast was included. The warm cookies in the afternoon were a treat!

Simply charming!
3 of us planned to run a 10 mile race in Newport and we are so happy we stayed at the Yankee Peddler Inn. Clean, quiet, cozy, a great little kitchen near the front desk, and super nice people who manage the inn. It is a quick walk to the downtown area and shore. Parking (as it is for the entire town of Newport) is tight, but adequate and they have a good system for making it work! I am hoping to visit again soon as I’d like to see more of Newport in nice weather!

Thank you for staying with us and for your informative, enthusiastic review! We look forward to your return in better weather, although one of the nice things about Newport is there are always things to do and see, no matter what. It is our pleasure to share this special in-town location with guests! The Yankee Peddler is not "fancy," but we love providing a cozy, clean, authentic experience right in the middle of Newport. Once again, thanks for joining us. All best from the Yankee Peddler team

It was clean, nothing fancy, but served our purpose of a place to stay for the night. I liked the Carriage House where our room was. Not many stairs and very quiet. The bathroom was good size and well stocked with everything you would need, The room itself was cozy and comfortable.

Thank you for staying with us, Alan! We are glad you found your room to be clean, cozy, and comfortable -- those qualities are our highest priorities and exactly what we seek to provide. We are also glad you enjoyed the Carriage House, situated just across the yard from the Main House. There are 5 guest rooms in the Carriage House (with not many stairs, as you said), while the Main House has 14 rooms on three floors (1st, 2nd, and 3rd). All rooms throughout the inn have private baths, although it should be said that bathrooms do vary in size. Again, many thanks for joining us. We hope you will come again if/when travels bring you back to historic Newport, RI! All best from the Yankee Peddler team

Thank you, Ethel! What a beautiful weekend it was, and we're glad you enjoyed your stay. It is our pleasure providing this in-town yet peaceful location for our guests, and the rooftop deck truly is a relaxing spot. (Manager Laura planted all those flowers herself!) We hope you'll join us again sometime, if and when you make a return trip to Newport. Best wishes from the Yankee Peddler team

The Inn was quaint and welcoming. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was great. Bed was very comfortable. The only thing that could have been better is if the room had more space to hang our clothing and had towel bars in the bathroom. The rooftop deck was a lovely space adorned with pretty flowers and a nice place to relax and have your morning coffee or a cocktail in the evening. The freshly baked chocolate chip cookies offered to guests is a homey touch!!

Thank you for staying with us, Spencer, and for the thorough and thoughtful review! It's great to know you appreciated the Yankee Peddler for exactly what it is: a quaint, comfortable, friendly, well-located spot in central Newport. We are glad you enjoyed the rooftop deck, too, as well as the chocolate chip cookies :) We will see what we can do about more hanging space for clothes and towels in the room where you stayed. We try to make improvements based on guest suggestions when we can. Thanks again for joining us! All best from the Yankee Peddler team!

Central location with friendly staff
First off, great location. Very close to Thames and pretty central for walking anywhere in Newport. Older place but clean and well kept. Very friendly staff. Our room was not very big and was really just a good place to sleep, not hang out. Continental breakfast was pretty basic. Would recommend if you are looking for a bed & breakfast place.

Thank you for staying with us, Brian! We are glad you enjoyed your visit, especially the inn's location in central historic Newport. As you mentioned, the Yankee Peddler is an "older" property - yes, it dates back to the mid-1800s! Now consisting of 19 guestrooms in two buildings, it was originally the home of artist, journalist, and army officer George Douglas Brewerton. The rooms vary in size, from "Carriage House" and "Standard" on the smaller side to "Superior Rooms" which are somewhat larger with original fireplace mantels. We like to think there is something for everyone. Again, thank you for joining us, and Happy (Belated) First Anniversary! With all best from the Yankee Peddler team

Quaint, clean, easy walk to shops, wharf, activities. Old building maintains its historic ambience, while it’s adapted to serve the needs and building codes of today. The breakfast included with your stay rounds out the enjoyable experience. It was convenient to park our rental car in the property’s back lot, but the spaces are tight.

Yankee Peddler was a quaint cozy inn. The staff was wonderful, friendly and helpful. The flowers in the hall smelled wonderful. We stayed in room #8. The room was large and comfortable, very small bathroom, but it's an historic home. Breakfast was a great way to start the day. Location was centrally located. The parking was fine, not bad as I read in the reviews. One note: The inn is at the top of the hill. Rather a steep walk if you have an issue walking up hill, or with stairs. About the area: I highly recommend to everyone, rent a Smuggler ( like a go cart...across from Red Parrot) we rented one our first day, it was a fun way to ride along Ocean drive, past the mansions, thru all the little areas, great way to see where every things located before you start walking. Thank you to the staff of the Peddler for making our stay so nice.

It was comfortable room- tough climb to top(30 steps up) would be difficult for a lot of people. Staff was super friendly and helpful-breakfast was great. All in all a great stay- perfect location- walkable to so many things+ easy free trolly most of the year.

We had the best experience at Yankee Peddler. We were traveling on a whim and found this spot. Super cute, super accommodating, and super friendly. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the onsite and rooftop patio. We will likely go back just for that. The Inn is within walking distance of the waterfront and other areas.
