This home is comfortable. The bedrooms are clean.
For one of our days, we drove to the private beach and enjoyed looking for shells and creating sand castles.
It was a joy to make such good memories together as a family.

We enjoyed the old world charm of this country home- quiet, convenient to beaches, farm stand and occasional cafes. The host was available and quick to respond to questions or requests for information about the area.

The stay at this property was wonderful! The home was clean, comfortable, and cozy, and the host was very friendly and helpful and provided all of the necessities for our stay. In addition, the location was convenient to many area attractions.

If you’re looking for a vintage bougie house for your trip to Newport, this isn’t it. Also, if you don’t love quirky old homes (and I mean old, where the ceiling in the primary bedroom is barely 6 ft and the stairways are tiny and steep) then keep looking. But if you want to stay in the country, and walk right next door for fresh produce and local goodies - as well as coffee and pastries - then you’re in the right place.
We visited in the summer and there were window AC units in each bedroom except the back bedroom downstairs. That room was cooled with the living room AC unit, but could get muggy if you wanted the door closed for privacy. Also, window units are just noisy by nature and don’t pull out humidity. We also had to use towels stuffed around the units to keep bugs from coming in (owner promptly sent over bug spray and tape when we told him of the issue).
About a 45 minute drive to Newport, but fairly scenic. 30 minutes to a full size grocery store, but the farm stand next door has staples and the general store in Little Compton is pretty well stocked. Make sure to visit Tiverton.
We agreed with a former reviewer that the outdoor shower was preferable to the indoor one (an old clawfoot tub with a shower curtain that billows in when showering).
We unfortunately couldn’t visit the private beach due to overgrowth of foliage on road, but owner said we could have parked and walked in.
Overall a nice stay, but I do think the listing needs to be updated.

The house and its furnishings are so lovely, well-kept, and comfortable. We appreciated the time machine trip to the 18th century! Like Pride and Prejudice! The dining room was just the right size. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a giant lobster pot! The beds were perfect. We had a beautiful fire pit fire the last night of our stay. The Farm Market next door had wonderful produce. When we needed help (twice), we got a response fast, sometimes instantly.
I'm so looking forward to next time we stay!

There were 5 of us on the trip to see the Newport Mansions. My mom, myself, my 2 daughters and my daughter's boyfriend. The house was absolutely adorable. Plenty of space to separate from each other if needed. The fresh flowers were beautiful. We hope to stay again soon. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Farm house.

My husband, our good friends, and I spent a beautiful Fall weekend in Rhode Island. This farmhouse is charming, with lots of space, and has lovely grounds. The property manager was helpful and responsive during the booking process. When we arrived our first evening, lights were left on for us and we were greeted with a personalized letter of welcome containing all information we needed for our stay. There were even fresh flowers on the kitchen table.
The house was exactly what we wanted and the hosts were wonderful. Highly recommend.

This historic farmhouse was perfect for our needs. While rustic and from a prior century, we adapted nicely. We were able to brings our two dogs and the property owners could not have been better to work with. Using this as a base, we were able to explore Little Compton from top to bottom.

Such a treat to stay in a charming historic farmhouse! We ate all our meals in the peaceful backyard, surrounded by trees and views of the adjoining farm. The location can’t be beat, since it’s a short drive from so many good things: beaches, farm stands, the village center of Little Compton (with a great little coffee shop: The Art Cafe), nature preserves, and Tiverton Four Corners.
The house itself had everything we needed: comfy bed, plenty of blankets and towels, an extremely cozy couch, really nice pots and pans in the kitchen, and a newer gas stove that’s nicer than our stove at home! We were able to buy simple groceries at the local farm stands (Young’s and Wishing Stone), and there’s a friendly wine store right nearby. It all made for a delightful and relaxing weekend. Thank you for sharing your farmhouse with us!

Be prepared for an old house - narrow staircase, uneven floors, one full bath downstairs and half bath upstairs serving two bedrooms, dark interior, not too many places to plug in electronics, reading lamps fairly dim. But a lovely house with a great location, good internet service and an easy checkin process. We would come back in a flash. Also some very good restaurants and shops in the nearby neighborhood.

This cottage is the original building from 1770 at Walker’s Farm. It’s cozy. Across the street is Young Family Farm with their farmstand. About a block away is Peckham’s which is the state’s most beloved houseplant and garden plant seller. They are open year round. The big public beach is about a 12 minute drive or you can go to the owner’s private river beach around the corner. The house is old and not fancy. But it’s sweet and the location is fantastic.

One small shower stall. Not easy to use. Plastic curtain inside the tub. Gotta be careful of the door saddles. Between rooms. Uneven flooring. The downstairs shower. Needs to be updated. Before. Someone gets hurt. But it was cool. Staying in one of the 10th. Oldest houses in little Compton. And also. The stairs going to the upper level. Are very very steep.

Our family of 4 (and dog) thoroughly enjoyed this lovely old farmhouse. Plenty of room, great beds, stellar outdoor shower and convenient to dog friendly beaches (we frequented Lloyd’s, Gooseberry Island), decent hikes (Weetamoo, and our fave Simmons - super quiet even in August). Ate great seafood at Evelyn’s and Westport Sea Farms. Grassy garden for kids to run around, road is main NS thoroughfare but quiet at night.
One thing to mention (I think it’s in listing but I missed it..) the neighboring house is right there. We rarely saw anyone but in case you are looking for more privacy outdoors. Overall, we loved Little Compton for its gorgeous mix of beach/hikes and good food! Thanks Coll, Suzie and all - super easy and helpful hosts. We will be back.

Charming and pretty antique home with plenty of room. Original details which we loved. Kitchen has all utensils needed. Grounds and views are quite lovely/rural. On a fairly busy road but it quiets down at night. Short drive to local beaches and towns. Will stay again!

The property is all over grown in the front, so the picture is deceiving, for locating the property, other than that the home is well stocked, out for shower is a weak stream but non the less lovely 🥰. We would go back !

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful historic home. The building has so much history and character. The back yard was just gorgeous with twisting tree limbs, perfect for my 3 year old to explore. Great evening shade in the yard for barbecues, relaxing in the hammock and lounging around the fire pit. Location is 5-10 minutes from beaches, Tiverton Four Corners, Little Compton town common, walk to Young Family Farm stand. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is it is close to a main road. The private beach was a great bonus. It is shallow swimming with no waves, perfect for my little ones.

Great, old, house with lots of character. Fun for kids to explore. There’s not much going on in Little Compton, but enough in/nearby for a weekend stay. Nice place to take some downtime and escape the week.
