It was our first experience with a bed and breakfast. The recommendation was well worth it. Beautiful decor and fantastic food! The rich fabrics and especially the breakfast. Don't recall ever having such a complete, delicious breakfast as that! We will definitely pass the word along about your place.

Thank you so much for everything! My husband and I truly enjoyed everything about our stay here. Plus, the food was just as fabulous as I remembered! We all (my parents included) loved spending time on your front porch relaxing and for a wine and cheese break in the front room. Thank you for your dinner idea - Lucias was amazing! We loved everything about Newport and our stay at your B&B. You are definitely two of the best innkeepers around...we can't wait to come back again. Cheers!

Thank you very much for a wonderful stay with the best breakfast ever! So glad that the power outage was only after cooking and baking time! Looks like hurricane Irene was not that bad as expected - and we will get a full nice day to cruise the Ocean Drive and the Mansions. Thanks very much for everything.

PAMPERING TOUCHES

This being our first time in Newport and our first visit to the Victoria Skylar, we really didn't know what to expect. But as previous guests have stated, the town and this lovely B&B much more than fulfilled our expectations. Thanks for the lovely, pampering touches, the wonderful breakfasts served so elegantly with China and such. Thanks for arranging so we could come for these 2 days too. We appreciate that, too! We'll certainly tell everyone at home! Hope to see you in 2012.
