Had a wonderful stay... very cool boat, hospitable and welcoming hosts, and a delicious breakfast to top it off!

Amazing!!! One of the best b&b's we ever been to. The owner made a huge effort to make us feel welcome. The breakfast was really great and he even made something vegetarian for me. The view is awesome and the bed was so super comfy.

Great place to stay in Newport! The owners are great and make you feel comfortable. Good breakfast. With their instructions, the boat is very easy to find. Many nearby restaurants. I would definitely return!

Unfortunately, our stay was memorable because we wish we'd skipped our night at the Newport Belle. The room was musty smelling, the docking location was noisy and smelled of oil/gas, there was nothing walkable that was worth seeing, and the hosts were irritable. They served breakfast later than we could stay and they actually got mad that we asked to skip it. Cute idea, but not a place we will revisit.

Excellent service. Close to all Newport has to offer. Walking distance to Rogue Brewery.

My new husband and I were on a roadtrip honeymoon down the coast of Oregon when we stopped in Newport for the night. We were discussing our options of where to stay over Abby's Pizza when I asked him if we could try a Bed & Breakfast. He was extremely hesitant about the idea, recalling instances of overly nosy hosts and uncomfortable conversation around a stranger's breakfast table. He was even MORE hesitant when I mentioned that it was on a riverboat. When I called to see if they had a room for us, the owners (Nancy and Michael) let us know that we would have "the whole boat to ourselves," as there were no more boarders for the evening. Even though it was 8:45pm, they were still willing to "rally" for us. They gave us a pick of the whole boat at a "honeymoon" discount. We, of course, chose the Queen's Suite, which was a charming room on the 3rd floor, overlooking the docked boats of the river and a king bed. We even watched a movie on my iPad with the free wireless internet access they granted to us! Needless to say, my husband was pleasantly surprised, and despite his suspicions about the pre-emptive earplugs next to the bedside, we slept like babies! The next morning, we met Nancy & Michael's two adorable Westies and ate an expertly prepared eggs benedict breakfast in the sunny nook on the 2nd floor of the boat. This was definitely a unique experience, but not one we would soon forget!

Excellent place to stay while in Newport. A bit tricky to find the first time, and parking wasn't as convenient as it could have been (might be an issue if you have mobility issues). Still, a wonderful stay. Attentive owners who love to chat, made great recommendations for food and activities, and close to Bayfront area and local attractions. I'd stay there again, and it makes me want to only stay at B & Bs in the future.

We had a positively perfect stay at this unique bed and breakfast. And when I say unique I mean it for real- you're staying on a fabulous boat...on the water. It doesn't get more awesome than that, at least in Newport, right? The hosts are incredibly amiable and helpful. Everything is explained upon check-in (when breakfast is ready, where to park, etc. and they give a tour of the boat). They also recommended an awesome restaurant that would be vegetarian friendly (in an obviously fish-filled town) so that was great, too. Nancy cooked up a delicious breakfast and catered to our dietary preference with an awesome spinach, feta and mushroom quiche. Also served were potatoes, cottage cheese, yogurt, homemade granola and pastries. All of this is buffet-style. Throughout the day, complimentary snacks are laid out, and there is a fridge filled with juice, wine and Rogue beer. Tea, coffee and cocoa are always available, as well. This review is really long winded but whatever, it was my first time at a B&B so I guess I'm just excited to share all the great things it had to offer. Last but not least, the king sized bed was daaamn comfy! Stay in the Sunset Room (Stateroom 4) if you can. It's got great views! (Apparently it's the most popular, so there ya go).

A unique experience, so glad we stopped. Comfortable, relaxed and we felt at home.

Our stay at the Newport Belle Bed & Breakfast was the highlight of our trip down the Oregon coast. Everyone is asking how the trip was, and the first thing I say is that we stayed on a paddle boat. it is a little tricky to find, but if you call, Nancy will give you directions on how to get there. The room was nice and clean, and we hung out in the lounge with a great view of the bridge. For dinner we wandered over to the Rogue brewery and had some clams and oysters at the pub there along with some great beer. The boat moved just a little bit, but not enough to stop me having a great sleep! Breakfast in the morning was delicious and plentiful. Overall, we highly recommend this spot for a really special stay!
