This is not your typical frou-frou bed and breakfast. No chintz, no lace and no cozy conversations with the innkeepers. But, it is a restored 1772 colonial jail, replete with blue and white striped bedding on all the beds and the original iron bars on the hall doors. It is perfect for a weekend getaway or a quiet place to stay while in Newport, located in the hub of downtown. Breakfast is buffet style and if you are so inclined, afternoon tea is offered. Call for seasonal room rates, minimum two-night weekend stay.
