73 Catherine St
Newport, RI 02840
Two great locations (73 Catherine St and 98 Mill St) offering Bed & Breakfast and Apartment Vacation Rentals. Both have bright, spacious rooms with big flat screen cable TV, air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, free off-street parking, lovely garden with quiet sitting areas, and an easy walk to Newport attractions. The Catherine St location features B&B rooms with King beds and private bath and includes yummy home-made goodies, yogurt, and fruit salad for breakfast each morning. It was built in 1883 for Francis Jones of New York and named for Admiral William Sowden Sims (past president of Naval War College) who lived here in the 1920's. Mill St offers fully-furnished and equipped one-bedroom and two-bedroom Apartments for long or short term rental. The open concept living room, dining room, and kitchen with King beds and fireplace make a great home base anytime of year for a vacation or longer. This Victorian was built in 1812.

I'm having something of a heartbroken reaction to the fact that this lovely B&B gutted its historic charm and replaced it with a modern coastal theme that is not at all timeless and too eclectic...
