This was our first trip to RI. The home was old but perfect for that setting. Great location in Bristol walking distance to bars, restaurants and the river. Our hosts were very accommodating and responded quickly to any questions. If my daughter decides to go the Law School here we will definitely be back.

Communication with owner was great, location is unbeatable, only negative thing I have to say is the rooms & bathroom either need some updating or deep clean, one of the bedrooms headboard had noticeable mold on it as well as the shower, bathroom also had a musky smell to it.

We had a blast staying here. It was so much more fun than staying at the hotel down the road we usually do. We were in town to visit some family. we loved waking up and walking across the st to enjoy our coffee at the park. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in town.

This was our second trip to this place and it was every bit as enjoyable as our first visit. It is so convenient to all that downtown Bristol has to offer which allows us to walk to all the restaurants and shops. We are already planning our next stay to attend an exhibition at the nearby Newport Museum of Art.
