Testimonials

It’s exquisite and beyond beautiful!

Dear Don, we haven’t checked out yet, and are already looking forward to our next visit! We will stay no place other than the Ivy Lodge! It’s exquisite and beyond beautiful! We absolutely loved our perfect stay here!

Thank you so very much and we can’t wait to stay here again very soon!

Very comfortable

My parents and my aunt and I really enjoyed our stay at the Ivy Lodge last week on Monday and Tuesday nights. The rooms and beds were very comfortable, the breakfast was delicious both days and we availed ourselves of the different seating areas outside and inside several times. We also enjoyed meeting a few of your other guests.

Consistently Amazing

My husband and I just returned from a 5 day stay at Ivy Lodge. This was our 3rd visit and we are already planning our 4th. The home is lovely, comfortable and spotless. We feel as though we are staying with friends and family. Don and Jacqui are so welcoming and accommodating we couldn’t ask for more. Every room is different and each is a gem. Breakfast every morning is such a fun time, not to mention delicious.

We were able to take advantage of the EBikes that are there and had a wonderful morning biking all over Newport. We walked over to a Mansion for a tour, which was right around the corner. We also walked over to the Cliff Walk. The location is truly ideal.

I can’t imagine staying anywhere else when in Newport. We were joined by some friends for this visit and they were as taken with the Ivy Lodge as we are.

Love it!

The inn is gorgeous, clean, and well kept. The entryway alone will take your breath away. The breakfasts were delicious. We greatly enjoyed our stay in the Library room. We will definitely be back. I would absolutely recommend the Ivy Lodge to anyone visiting Newport.

If I Could Rate 6 Stars I Would

“Cannot say enough good things about this place! The owners were friendly, nice and helpful with everything and anything. The lodge itself? Absolutely stunning! We felt as though we were staying in one of the mansions we were there to see. Close to all of the action. Very clean. Breakfast was delicious! Wish we could have stayed longer.”

Stunning setting, friendly staff

Lovely stay with very welcoming staff and a tasty breakfast. Really appreciated the snacks and hot chocolate available on arrival. Stayed in the cozy Pine Room with very well appointed bathroom—loved the deep soaking tub. The hallway and staircase are just stunning, as are all the common rooms. Convenient to the Cliff Walk and downtown area which had lots of eating choices. Would stay again.
