    The Ivy Lodge was a special unexpected treat…a wonderful home base to explore the fabulous small city of Newport.

    Beautiful space, great location, quiet, but walking distance from Cliff Walk, mansions, restaurants. The lodge has some great common space, including sitting rooms and a porch with comfortable chairs, a water fountain, and soft lights. There are coffee, sweet treats, juices, and snacks available 24 hours a day, and the breakfasts are amazing and a filling way to start a day of exploring Newport.

    It was about a 15 minute walk to get to the town but that really wasn’t bad to be honest.

    Gorgeous interior and so homey. It felt like I was staying in an old mansion!

    Another night... LOL we only booked for the night of our event. Will be sure to return and stay longer.

    The ambiance was the perfect setting for a get ready to a Christmas ball at the Breaker's. It was so festive, Christmas music playing on the tv while the fire place warmed the room. Morning breakfast was served with a smile. We enjoyed waffles with fruit, bacon of course and coffee.

    Ivy Lodge is perfectly located, close to everything, but in a quiet neighborhood location. Beautiful grounds and just lovely inside. Everything is well appointed - complimentary drinks and snacks 24/7, wonderful living room. The room was large and quite comfortable. Staff very attentive. We really enjoyed our stay

    The gentleman that was working breakfast was definitely a little perturbed that we came down at 9:30. (Ends at 10:00) They had everything put away and forgot about us. It was the only day that decided to sleep in a little. That was the only bad part of the whole trip. He was friendly the following morning. The woman made up for it. Super nice

    It was amazing and beautiful!

    The location was perfect for our plans. It was halfway between the busy Thames street and the historic mansions. We walked 10 mins to the Breakers and the cliff walk. We also walked the opposite way one day and were at Thames street in 15 mins. It is also only 5 minutes to the Bellevue area that has some local shops and the tennis hall of fame. The breakfasts were very good. A nice bonus was snacks, juices and baked goods available all day self serve.
