Excellent location and beautiful bed and beautiful place. The breakfast was a little underwhelming compared to other bed and breakfast locations we’ve stayed at. But I would def stay again and recommend it!
Great location; walkable from town center and from the mansions. Super clean and well furnished; friendly hostess with plenty of useful advice. Would stay again!

The inn is truly beautiful, picturesque and exactly what we were looking for. perfect location, easily walkable to everything from the wharf and shopping areas to the mansions and beach. Staff was friendly and welcoming! Would love to stay again! Thank you for having us.
Wonderful Inn within walking distance to most everything. Off the beaten track so it's quiet and relaxing. Parking is a bonus and the breakfast was amazing.
Everything was absolutely wonderful. We were able to sit and eat breakfast while watching the snow fall. It was breathtaking. From the fireplace to the hot tub, it was all just perfect.
Beautiful inn with very responsive staff. Loved the jacuzzi rooms and breakfast. The gas fireplace was perfect for a freezing day. Really great area, super quiet, and an easy walk to all the Newport shops and restaurants.
The property is lovely, well located, walkable. Or room was clean, spacious and had beautiful decor. Breakfast was delicious and the nightly sweets were a great touch. And the on site manager was helpful and charming.
The property was immaculate. The in keeper was very kind and helpful with things to do in Newport. I highly recommend this and will be back for another visit for sure.
The Hilltop Inn is our favorite place to stay in Newport! The Inn is beautiful. The staff are very welcoming and care about the Inn and their visitors. It is also VERY clean and provides a safe parking area. Great location to walk to restaurants, shops, the harbor and the ocean. We continue to visit every year!
We spent 2 nights at the Inn. The location was so perfect - we were able to walk to the Wharf area for activities and restaurants but also was far enough away from how busy that area can be on weekends. There is a coffee place just down the block but not really needed as the breakfast at the inn was delicious. The onsite parking was so convenient. Liz was so welcoming and made us feel at home. We were in the first floor room which had a huge bathroom and shower and the bed was very comfy. I will suggest the Inn to everyone I know going to Newport!
Very clean, and convenient to many points of interest. Price seems high vs other options.
No employees present most of the time.
Breakfast is included but for price not very good. Given the amount of other options we would not choose the Hill Top again
The facility was lovely. We stayed in this B & B many times with previous owners. Was excited to return...but was very disappointed. The first morning we went down for breakfast the young lady came and introduced herself. Very pleasant. She said she would bring us breakfast and in less than a minute delivered 2 plates with... a sccop of cheesy potatoes, a pie slice of quiche and a slice of bacon cut in half. The food was not even warm. I barely touched it and my huisband who is allergic to eggs, ate the bacon from both our plates. It was all store prepared not freshly made in house. For the price of this place it should have been fresh!!! Also there was no juice to be had anywhere and we had to make our own coffee with a one cup kerig machine. So for the next 2 days we went elsewhere for breakfast. I will never stay here again. As for the staff, we never saw anyone, including the person cleaning rooms, for the rest of our stay. When we left there was noone to give keys to, so we left them in the kitchen on the island.
We truly enjoyed our stay at Hilltop Inn. The Inn and our room were beautiful, clean and cozy.
Liz was super friendly and helpful, and no details were missed. We enjoyed the daily breakfast, snacks, boardgames, and hot tea in the afternoon! Close walking distance to the wharf - but im assuming the Hilltop name was a nod to thier location - it's uphill from the Wharf!
Would highly recommend!
