Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

My husband and I took a day trip to Newport and decided to do 3 mansions that day. This was our second stop. Each room was beautiful so much to see we spent 2 hours here.

The tour of The Elms was included in our Newport Mansions tour. By the time we got here, as our last stop, we had an hour to rush through the mansion and gardens. It was not enough time, this “cottage” is huge and there are stories in every room. The Preservation Society of Newport County saved the building at the last minute before it was to be demolished and turned into a parking lot. The furnishings were auctioned off only to be donated back once the Preservation Society took it over. The rooms are large, the ceilings high, the staircase impressive with marble everywhere. Downstairs you will find the huge kitchens, I could imagine the staff members buzzing around like a beehive during a lavish dinner party. Don’t miss the gardens, out beyond the huge group of European Beech trees, it’s gorgeous.

It was a rainy day when I visited the elms after taking the ferry from providence. Newport’s mansions provided an excellent escape for the rain. You take the free buses from the aquarium building. The visitor centre in a complex across the street from the harbour has maps. The Elms ornate marble, gold-accented, and hardwood decor were a pleasure to behold. The gardens were beautiful, but not much time was spent did the rain.

Visited twice this spring/summer with guests and also did the servants tour.
Overall, more like 3.5 as some of the audio tour was pretty superficial and even the gold additional options (on the 2nd visit) covered a random scattering of topics. The first time I thought the audio tour skipped a couple of rooms (the pink and the louis rooms at the top of the stairs) but for some reason they are on the gold additional info option.
It was nice they allowed you to pass through Mr. Berwind's bedroom that is being restored rather than closing it. Another bedroom was closed (the green one, I think).
The gardens are the most elaborate of the houses and worth enjoying. Multiple statuary and fountains.
As always, I think it is unfortunate that the houses do not have audio tours for the art work, which can be extensive. More info on the pieces, artists, sources etc. would be a great separate audio tour option. For the Elms there were a number of large paintings that would have been destroyed with the house, as would the lacquer room, for example. And, in the case of The Elms, the gardens deserve specific audio tour attention as well. A staff person said they get a lot of questions about the garden elements, which are not addressed in the audio tour at all.
The 2nd visit this summer we also did the servants tour - to the upper floors where we had a mini-lecture in each of 4 rooms (mostly empty as the furnishings had been sold prior to its potential demolition) and stepped outside onto the roof where the servants had access to outdoor space with close access to the corner statues, and hidden from public view. We accessed a viewing platform at the back (front?) of the roof for a great view. Then down to the lower levels to the furnaces, coal and ice rooms and cold kitchen. The few questions from people were given short shrift, not encouraging more. Lots of stairs. Not a must see, but okay.

This mansion wins especially by having a good audio guide with lots of details about society life in the gilded age. There is free internet in the house, so bring your hearing phones and listen through the house. It is worth spending some time dive into some of the extra stories too, to get a little more detail on.
We spent about 90 minutes and had good time for the garden too. Not as crowded as The Breakers.

This was the third of three mansions we visited (The Breakers and Marblehouse being the others.) We really enjoyed the house, but were mansioned out. I'd recommend not going to more than 1 mansion a day, if you have the time to split them up into multiple days.

Lovely mansion, not quite as grand as The Breakers, but the outdoor gardens were the highlight! Be sure to make time to stroll outdoors!

Beautiful property and grounds. Be sure to chat with the docents who are there to help and can offer insight to the property and the family who lived there.
Traveling in early June, we had few other people touring with us which gave us the opportunity to stop and really pay attention to what we were seeing.

Though it's been 2-3 decades since our last visit here; it didn't take long to rekindle memories of the impact we felt the first time we experienced this level of artistry and craftmanship. It's maybe not as intensely opulent as The Breakers; but it is still a magnificent "cottage".
One may debate the issues surrounding the accumulation and/or ostentatious presentation of wealth; but there is no disputing the result of letting skilled artists/ workers have the resources to achieve their best work.
One change we really appreciated from our last visit, was the availability of a self-guided audio tour; allowing one to immerse in each area, for as long as desired. If one has mobility issues, as we do, it's nice not having to keep pace with a guided group; and being able to rest as needed.
We also enjoyed strolling the grounds, and talking with one of the grounds keepers; learning about the efforts needed to maintain the beautiful landscaping.
This location is one more example of the deep well of architectural splendor concentrated in the Newport area.

First time visiting Rhode Island. Is the marble, the breaker and this one all under Newport mansion? Which ticket should we purchase
Skrevet 17. mars 2019
My wife and I visited Newport, RI last October with another couple. We joined the "The Preservation Society of Newport County" here on the internet before we left and it saved us a bundle of dollars and got us into all the mansions we wanted to see. It's a great idea to do this and save money with entry fees while joining a great cause!!! Highly recommend you do this! There are some additional tickets for other locations but this one gets you the best for your money!!! Give it a shot!!! Cheers, Barry
Skrevet 23. mars 2019
If you purchase the servants tour ticket, do you also need to purchase a ticket for the regular tour? Or are you allowed to roam at-will after the servants tour concludes and listen to the self-guided regular tour?
Skrevet 12. april 2016
We bought a 3 house ticket and went around the Elms ourselves following the audio route
Skrevet 15. april 2016
We will be staying in Newport. Is there an audio tour of the Elms available? If so, what does it cost, and where would I purchase it for my wife and I? Thanks!
Skrevet 13. mars 2016
The audio tour is handed out after you pay an entrance fee. The audio is free.
Skrevet 14. mars 2016
It depends on you,if you want do it on your own through the audio aid...you can linger on taking the history slowly....anything between and hour or two...all depends on yr own interest.

Is the house tour of the Elms wheel chair accessible?
Skrevet 19. mai 2015

Hi - The Elms is partially wheelchair accessible. It has a small elevator. The elevator is 44 inches deep and 38 inches wide. The height of the wheel chair should not exceed 37 inches.
While the front door is not accessible, there is access via a basement level entrance to the elevator, which will bring you up to the main foyer on the 1st floor, and also to the 2nd floor for the regular admission audio tour.
The Servant Life Tour, however, is only partially accessible, in that the elevator will take you to the basement and to the 3rd floor staff quarters. However, there is no elevator access to the sub-basement to see the coal tunnel and boiler room, nor to the roof.
I hope this is helpful.
