Fodor's Expert Review The Richards Bed and Breakfast
144 Gibson Ave., Narragansett, Rhode Island, 02882, USA
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Accomplished gardener Nancy Richards, who owns and operates this circa-1884 English-style stone mansion as a bed-and-breakfast with her husband, Steven, has created a lovely sanctuary for rest and relaxation—the lush grounds are alive with blooming color most of the year, and a koi pond and walking path to the shore add to the tranquillity. Rooms are light and airy, with English antiques, floral-print furniture, and fireplaces.
PROS

- walking path leads to rocky coast
- great breakfast
- only a mile from Narragansett Town Beach
CONS
- a bit of a walk from the sandy beach
