It has been operating since 1992 after being meticulously restored by owners, Rory & Ric Ranucci. The Inn has ample off street parking and a Full breakfast is served in our Conservatory with stunning views of the Newport Harbor. The year 2017 marked the 25th anniversary of The Artful Lodger Inn and corresponded to the 205th anniversary of our “literary patron saint” Charles Dickens.
