Cozy B&B conveniently located (walking distance) to the main harbor & all it's restaurants & shops. The owner, Sharon, has been warm & accommodating in all the years my friends & I have come here each summer for the music festivals. Home-cooked breakfasts with unique recipes (various lasagna-style omelets, pancakes or french toast, fresh-baked pastries). Various size rooms, including 2... More

This B&B is very well situated on a quiet street, but within walking distance to the harbor. My wife and I stayed in the larger front bedroom with a queen-size bed and a private bath. The room was very comfortable, and the bathroom has a tub-shower with plenty of hot water. The bathroom sink was a little small, but that... More

The other reviews are too kind. I wish I had read them before we stayed at The Mariner House. It was the only place we could find at the last minute for a busy Newport weekend. The place is shockingly worn out and shabby and a little sad. The owner, Sharon, rules with an iron fist and is verbally intrusive... More

The Mariner House is located in a residential area but within walking distance of downtown area. Hostess is pleasant and talkative. Breakfasts good. However, our room was extremely small and down a hall from its bathroom. The House was built in 1850, and has been improved pretty much only as needed to serve as a B&B. The price is very... More

The website for The Mariner House is deceiving. What you see is NOT what you get. Although it has an affordable price range, I have stayed at far better B&B's for the money. We selected this B&B as it had twin beds. However, the room was dismal, drab and untastefully decorated. The purple fireplace is an eyesore and we shared... More

The Mariner House is a very affordable B&B in a decent location in Newport. We paid $165 a night on a summer weekend, for a double room with a private bath. You’d be hard pressed to find something else that reasonable in the heart of Newport. That said, you get what you pay for. The Mariner House is a little... More

I booked the Mariner house because of the two bedroom "suite" it offered. In actuality, it was 2 seperate bedrooms adjoined by 1 hallway and sharing a bathroom. Now, in all honesty, this was fine, but the advertisment of the room was deceiving. The rooms were clean and well kept, but poorly lite. Two lamps and no overhead light is... More

Let me start by saying that when we booked our stay we had no idea what the Mariner was like. We took a shot and are we ever glad that we did. It was wonderful. When we arrived we were met by our hostess, Sharon, who immediately made us feel like old friends. You would be hard pressed to find... More

My family and I stayed at the Mariner House in April 1992 and it was the most delightful and charming experience! I had never stayed at a B&B before, and this visit opened my mind up to exploring different lodging alternatives. The house itself is very welcoming, beautiful and clean. The lovely rooms are beautifully decorated. The breakfast is delicious!... More
