Romantic Night Inn!

My fiancee and I visited the Edgewood Moanro a few weekends ago. It was absolutely the best B&B we had stayed at. The InnKeeper and his wife were very kind and took care of everything and anything we needed. Out room was gorgeous, clean and cozy. The breakfast in morning was delicious and fresh. The grounds were beautiful and the Inn itself was breathtaking. We loved this place so much we thought about staying another night. We will definitely be back to stay in the Samuel Priest room and to visit with the Innkeeper and his wife! Truly a romantic getaway even if it was just for the night!!

Excellent B&B!!

I travel all over the country and always stay in B & B's. The Edgewood is one of my favorites! The rooms are beautiful and extremely comfortable. The owner and innkeepers are wonderful and add to the antique filled ambiance - there is something of interest and wonder in every corner. The little town of Cranston may be overshadowed by close by Providence, but don't overlook it. Then again this Inn is a destination in itself! Don't pass this one up!!

We were without electricity and heat due to Nemo. We stayed the night here and made a mini vacation of it. Everyone was very friendly and the place was lovely. Breakfast was good as well

amazing weekend and what a gift

I rented the inn last weekend for a 15 member family reunion. To see my aunts and cousins walk in and burst into tears of happiness was an incredible moment. The rooms are beautifully appointed; the lit fireplaces (real wood, not gas) and the decorating over the top. We were all treated like princesses, the breakfasts were extraordinary. The staff gracious and attentive. If I could move in, I would!

Romantic 25th Wedding Anniversary!

Wow! My wonderful wife Gina and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a stay in the Colonial Room. It was gorgeous. Everything about Edgewood Manor B&B was first rate. Beautiful antique furniture side by side with the most modern comforts. We had tea in the Library. Andy made us a delicious omelet breakfast in the Sun Room. I think that we have started a new annual tradition. What a lovely, romantic place! Go! Enjoy!

Wonderful inn and lovely service.

When we arrived Rick the innkeeper helped us with our bags. We had a lot of them since we were staying for several nights. We were in the Providence area to visit our daughter. She just gave birth to a new baby girl. We loved our room which had a fireplace and beautiful king size bed. The room was spacious, clean,and comfortable. The breakfasts were different and delicious each day. Wish they were a little earlier but 8-9am worked out fine Joy made coffee at 7 and there was a 24 hr tea and coffee area in the library that was great. The inn was was nice for just lounging an relaxing in the common areas. We will in the spring to visit again and will stay here at Edgewood Manor.

New Years Eve Blast!!!

This was a beautiful inn with gorgeous beds and amazing common areas. the library was co comfy and stately and the music room was awesome with the gilded domed ceiling. We had a great breakfast by Joy in the formal dining room and loved it immensely. This is a must stay when in Providence Rhode Island Much better than a stuffy outdated hotel.

Romantic, comfortable,Historic.

Edgewood Manor was the perfect blend of comfort and elegance. We stayed in the scarlets retreat it had a wood burning fireplace that was so romantic and drop dead gorgeous. The room was lovely and the entire inn was spectacular. The common areas were beautiful especially the library. The breakfast was very good with home made blueberry corn muffins and a delicious omelet cooked perfectly.

chef tell-u off

recently stayed with a late arrival and L explained the rules,and one was that breakfast is served 8am to 9:30ish...arrived at the dinning room at 9:15 am and gave our order to the server...we were told we were late but they would take care of us,by the chef herself,when the orders arrived they weren't correct,I approached the chef and questioned why my order wasn't correct,she informed me that I wasn't given a choice,the server came in at that moment and I questioned her about my order and she hesitated to tell the truth and finally admitted to a might have...I told the chef that I found her rude and totally out of line...her response,"that's your opinion" with no apology,I'm the customer at $229 a nite and the chef is calling me a liar...don't think so...a side note,bathroom amenities lacking,very old tv,3rd floor walk-up...lacks personal attention all around...staff not customer friendly or attentive...elegant venue with no ammenities and extremely unattentive staff.
