Guest Experiences

Best place to stay in Newport that is dog friendly. My wife and I both agree we will stay here again. With or without our dog.
~ Michael Loved my stay! So clean and great decor! The complimentary breakfast was delicious! And most importantly, my pups were so happy!
~ Cari Paws on Pelham was amazing and the best trip for my husband and I and our two dogs! The location was perfect and everything was within walking distance. The dogs were treated like guests themselves and loved their time at the inn. We will for sure be back this fall with our crew! Thank you again for our amazing stay!
~ Whitney Amazing stay! I only wish it could have been longer. Looking forward to coming again in the future.
~ Sara This place is such a gem in Newport. Beautiful rooms, incredibly clean, friendly innkeepers, wonderful grab & go breakfasts, and amazing coffee. Our dogs were right at home quicker than usual. A couple parks walking distance for the dogs and a quick 5 minute walk to Thames St for their humans. I couldn't recommend it more and we'll for sure be back!
~ Gina Ashley and staff were outstanding! Friendly, helpful, hard working and seemed to enjoy their jobs. Love the extras like the 24 hour coffee bar and water fill station. Location is wonderful! Centrally located in an area of Newport to access all there is to do. Our dog was very happy too. :)
~ Suzanne The room was great and you can't beat the location! Walking distance to Thames and Bellevue. Our dog LOVED sitting on the sofa and looking out the window watching the neighborhood. Food was great and so was the staff. Inn is very clean.
~ Debbie Superb dog friendly accommodations, friendly staff, and an outstanding breakfast.
~ Jim I had never heard of Paws on Pelham, but decided to call for more information. From the initial contact until the moment we left, I was impressed by the personal treatment. Our dogs felt very much at home as did my son and I. The unit was spotless and roomy, the house was in fantastic repair. And breakfast? I thought there would be a muffin and juice - nope! A full breakfast was made available each morning and the all day available custom coffee maker was amazing. I can't say enough about this beautiful dog friendly B&B. I have decided to make Paws on Pelham a yearly destination. Thank you Lisa and staff for a wonderful 3 night stay. ~ MaryAnnWe had the best stay at Paws of Pelham. The room and bathroom were well designed and had an amazing window. We appreciated being able to head to the dining area at any time of day for a late coffee before heading out the door. The location allowed us to park and never need to return to the car. Everything you need is a short walk away.
~ Jamie Had a great experience staying at Paws on Pelham, the room was cozy and clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious and absolutely loved the hot beverages available at any time in the dining room, will definitely stay again and recommend this B&B to anyone traveling with dogs.

~ Carolynn We had a wonderful stay at Paws on Pelham and can't wait to book another stay! From the front porch to the lobby to our room, everything was warm, inviting, and spotless! The Innkeepers were knowledgeable and friendly! The breakfast room was adorable and the grab-and-go breakfast was delicious, the coffee machine was amazing with choices of lattes, cappuccinos, hot chocolate, espresso, etc! Available 24 hours a day it was a great perk! As for our pups, Loki and Frankie approved as well! They enjoyed the Murphy dog bed and the close proximity to the park for their morning and evening walks!
~ Carol We enjoyed every aspect of our first-time experience at Paws on Pelham. The room was spacious, cozy, bright, and cheerful. Breakfast at the Serenity Inn was delicious each morning.

~ Denise I hope to get to stay here again! It was perfect for my husband, pup, and me. I really enjoyed our stay and how close we were to all the shops and restaurants. Would recommend it to all my friends and family!
~ Morgan Wonderful place to stay even if you don't bring your dog. :) Clean, friendly, and relaxing! Great distance to town, not too close and not too far away!! The innkeeper is always ready to help and was lovely seeing everyone's dogs:)
~ Vanessa Everything about our stay was absolutely positive. It is increasingly difficult to find quality lodging when traveling with a pet. Paws on Pelham is a beautiful home in a historic section of Newport, a short walking distance to the seaport, shops, and many restaurants. Our suite was quiet, comfortably furnished, spotlessly clean, with a beautiful bathroom and oversized shower. A delicious breakfast was prepared and served in the sister facility directly across the street. The staff was welcoming, offered great suggestions, and most professional. Overall, a great value.
~ Lawrence & April B. Our room was incredibly clean (especially for a dog-friendly inn) and beautifully decorated! The inn was quiet the entire weekend and all staff members were helpful and friendly.
~ Michelle P. I liked the fact that I got a text in the morning, stating someone would be there for our early arrival & asking if there were any dietary restrictions. We have stayed at 5* hotels that weren't as clean.
~ Sharon Both Peter- the French and I absolutely loved our two-day stay at this pristine boutique hotel. It felt like being at home away from home. My pup had a great appetite there completely forgetting about his usual prolonged hunger strike habits at unfamiliar places.
~ Sofia (Bethel)Absolutely loved this Inn. First time travelling with my dog and it is the perfect place to accommodate dogs. The Grab n Go breakfast was delicious. Will definitely recommend to friends and stay there again.
~ Denise (Plymouth )We can't say enough good things about our stay at Paws on Pelham and will definitely be back! The location is fantastic, the Inn spotlessly clean and Allison our host one of the kindest most authentic people we've ever met. Five stars!
~ Jackie (Storrs, CT)We could not have been happier, our stay at your inn was Pawsativly perfect!. The place is so clean and the room was just what we needed for our big guy and our little girl while we were in town visiting our daughter at Salve. The location between town and the park at the top of the hill could not be better and the whole staff was amazing. Everyone was so accommodating and friendly they really made us feel so comfortable. The grab and go breakfast was excellent as well. There were so many things to choose from and it was all delicious. Would highly recommend this property.Thank you for a great stay in Newport!
~ Dawn (Long Island, NY)A great place to stay with your fur baby. We had an excellent stay, Alison, Ebony & and the rest of the team made us feel very comfortable. Everything exceeded our expectations. And breakfasts were very good. I would recommend Paws on Pelham to everyone even if you don't have a fur baby.
~ Jose Truly exceeded our expectations. Alison and Ebony keep an immaculate Inn-not an easy task with a dog Friendly property with a constant smile on their faces-always engaging-wonderful breakfast-working around your schedule to clean your room. Truly miss these ladies who took care of us like family during our 11 day stay-coupled with being just blocks from Downtown Newport we had a stay at Paws on Pelham that was perfect and look forward to our next visit!
~ D & G Shana was so warm and pleasant from upon arrival to throughout our stay! We were so impressed with the cleanliness, (everywhere!!!) and absolutely loved the decor! Ali & Alfredo( our 11 yr old Llhasapoo and Peekipoo) had the best time and felt right at home the second they walked through the front door! Thank you for making our weekend stay in Newport so wonderful!
~ Kathy It was very impressive how clean and well kept this bed and breakfast is!! I expected it to smell a bit more like dogs, but you couldn't even tell it was a dog b&b! The breakfast was wonderful as well and also very impressive in these challenging times. Also, it was decorated so cute, and well thought out....everything was dog themed, again super impressive!! Thank you for a wonderful stay!! Our dog Rudy loved it too, and loved his little dog house! : )
~ Melinda I have nothing but great things to say about our time at Paws on Pelham. We had an amazing weekend and so happy we got to bring our dog along! They are extremely dog friendly and our husky felt right at home. We will be coming back!
~ Andrea We had a great experience here over Labor Day weekend 2020. I am an RN and was worried about vacationing anywhere, but knew that bringing our dog would keep us honest and outdoors if we travelled. Paws provided a clean, safe place for us to stay all around. Most of Newport's beauty can be seen from the outdoors, so this was a great break from our reality for a few days. We loved our room, the location was great, an adorable park next to the hotel for quick dog walks, and easy free parking. It was a great choice for us and our rescue doggo, Samwell. Thank you to the innkeeper and staff!
~ Jennifer Room was extremely clean and the Innkeeper was a pleasure from the minute we checked in. Thanks for the little welcome gifts.
~ John I want to thank you and your entire staff at Paws on Pelham (especially Tayla) for making our stay so wonderful. I realize not an easy time to be having guests and they were so wonderful. The Inn is just gorgeous! It was beautifully decorated and was a very special place for me to bring my dog. Your location is fabulous and you really thought of everything for your guests. Room 5 (where we stayed) was not only gorgeous but very comfortable. I am so looking forward to coming back soon with my dog. Thank you for creating this amazing Inn that allows pet parents to travel with their dogs and stay in such a beautiful Inn with great customer service. Will be recommending to my friends.
~ Christine What a wonderful Inn!! Great room & wonderful staff. This pet friendly Inn was so clean you wouldn't know it was pet friendly. I was so pleased we will be back. Staff and visitors were all compliant with wearing masks. The room was beautiful. Room 6 has two rooms. We stayed with our 19yo son and dog. Plenty of room for all. Beautiful decor and bathroom shower was huge. Breakfast was delicious. Egg mozzarella pesto sandwich was to die for. I'll be making that for my next brunch. Thanks Allison and everyone. We will see you soon !
~ Mandy (Hauppauge )We loved our stay at Paws on Pelham. It is a great location and the inn is very clean and well kept. We loved all of the doggie decor. The breakfast was delicious each morning and the inn keeper was very sweet and attentive. We will be back!
~ Lauryn We loved everything about this place! Paws on Pelham exceeded our expectations of a dog friendly inn in Newport. Alice welcomed my friends, my dog and me and she kindly helped us with anything we needed. The room and common areas were very pretty and everyone was so friendly! The inn was so close to downtown Newport that we could walk everywhere. We especially liked our homemade breakfasts! We will stay at paws on Pelham again! Thank you for a great time!!
~ Sara (Massachusetts )What an amazing place! Paws on Pelham exceeded my expectations of a dog friendly inn in Newport. Tayla welcomed me, my husband and our two pups and she promptly fulfilled every request we made throughout our two night stay. The room and common areas were pristine and everyone (people and pups) was respectful and polite. The inn was so close to downtown Newport and we thoroughly enjoyed our homemade breakfasts and caffeinated beverages. We will stay at paws on Pelham again!
~ Deb (North Providence, RI)The room was fantastic and so was the service. The inn keeper is so helpful and nice. The shower in the room is huge and luxurious. The sleep was restful, and all other dog parents were respectful (no issue with wild barking or dogs running wild). I was over the moon when they also accommodated my allergy and made me a gluten free breakfast!! Five star, allergy friendly, dog hotel, and close to downtown.
~ Jennifer (Boston, ma )I could not imagine a better stay than the one we had at Paws on Pelham. Every part of our experience was perfect. The room was immaculate and cozy. Loved the outdoor space options (rooftop, front porch, back patio). Location was ideal, walking distance to all the great spots. Allison was an amazing and gracious host, extremely available and helpful. Overall our stay was more than we even imagined it would be. I would recommend PoP to anyone and will be staying here again next time I visit.
~ Victoria This is the PERFECT place to stay if you are vacationing in Newport with your dog. It was pristine in terms of cleanliness, the walk to the wharf's was a breeze, and our dog felt right at home. A quick text to the Innkeeper gets all of your questions/needs answered. Zero complaints from us and we have already recommended to many friends that travel to the Newport area. I travel for work and stay in hotels and resorts and B&B's often, and Paws on Pelham ranks #1 on my list! THANK YOU!
~ Michael We loved everything about our stay at Paws on Pelham. Everything was so clean and the decor adorable. The grab and go breakfast far exceeded our expectations. The cherry on top was that Lisa was a fabulous host. I would highly recommend paws on Pelham to anyone with or without dogs.
~ Tara Fantastic addition to Newport! The room amenities, linens and finishing touches make for a great stay. My dogs and I felt right at home.
~ Heather Dogs loved the back yard and the treats left in the room! People loved the location, coffee machine and cute accessories in the room (the dog tail hooks!)
~ Stacey I cannot say enough about the setup, cleanliness, and friendliness of the staff and environment. For what we spent, I would have expected to have spent nearly double the amount I did for such a setup and service. I cannot say enough in this little box, but will definitely stay again.
~ Eric What a lovely hotel experience Paws on Pelham was for my son, his wife, their dog, Bowen, and for me. Allison took such good care of us! The Inn was spotless, with service of delicious breakfasts and coffee. The rooms were charming and had great bathrooms. Thank you! We will look forward to a return visit! Susan
~ Susan (New Canaan, CT)First time we've ever stayed at a pet hotel as we accompanied our daughter, son-in-law, and 'Stella'. I was more than pleasantly surprised, the entire operation is pretty slick. The property is beautiful, the rooms are new, clean and well-appointed. Conveniently adjacent to a park to walk the pets and very close to the heart of downtown. Their grab and go breakfast concept is very accommodating and the food was quite good. Alison was our host and she was born to be so. Very gracious, friendly and informative. Obviously she loves what she does and it shows. Stella and she became fast pals, the entire experience was very very nice. Having no prior experience in dog-friendly hotels, I would say they NAILED it. We could not have had a nicer stay.
~ John (Ipswich, MA)Just returned from a long weekend at Paws on Pelham and can't say enough good things about our experience. We were in town on a college tour and brought our 13 yr old lab who was recovering from surgery! Allison was an amazing host making my fam feel more than welcome. The decor was adorable, our room (a suite) perfect for a small family (including a built in doghouse), breakfast was simply delicious. I will recommend highly to anyone who is traveling with a pet or without! The courtesy pet bandana, treats and poop bags were so appreciated! Can't wait to return!
~ Nancy (Seaside Park, NJ)Loved my stay here, and so did my dog!! It's hard to find a nice hotel that is also dog friendly and Paws on Pelham is perfect! The decor and setup is beautiful and clean, and the breakfast was fantastic! Perfect location! I can't wait to go back!!
~ Kelly The customer service was fantastic, Allison was very friendly and personable and made us feel welcomed. The room was very clean and super cute. We didn't have our dogs with us on this trip, but when we come back we'll definitely be bringing them! Overall, this was an amazing place to stay!
~ Ashley We had a great weekend at Paws on Pelham! Check-in was friendly and very easy, the room was extremely clean and well equipped with everything you would need for a weekend stay. The bed was very comfortable! The grab and go breakfast was delicious as well!
~ Brian Beautiful B&B. I do not have a dog and it was great. Did not hear 1 dog bark or have any issues. Loved it. Great location. Will definitely come back.
~ Laurie We had such an awesome time! It was so nice to have a place that we could bring our dogs! The bed was so comfy, the bathroom is absolutely gorgeous, and the grab-n-go breakfast was delicious! We will def be back!
~ Ashley Every employee was extremely nice always made sure you have everything you need, and made sure the room and food is to your satisfaction. They made goody bags full of dogie bags and home made dog cookies. There's also a built in dog bed and bowls already in the room. Perfect area for dogs, there is a park right next door. I guess you could say that my overall stay was PAW-some for both my dog and I.
~ Victor We stayed at the Inn for the Pell bridge run. Everything was perfect from check in to check out. The Inn is dog friendly but we did not bring one as did other guests. The inn is recently remodeled and all areas are bright, cheerful and beautifully decorated. The innkeeper went above and beyond to make the guests comfortable. Highly recommend a stay here.
