Newport, Rhode Island is the ideal holiday spot for a family with older children. In the morning, grab some coffee and biscuits at Stoneacre Brasserie before heading out to enjoy the brisk ocean air as you make your way down Cliff Walk. Then, step back in time as you tour some of Newport's famous mansions. The Breakers even offers a family tour with a special guided experience just for children.
After you make your way through the mansions and choose your favourite, head to the Newport Car Museum where you can pick out a dream car to match your dream house.
If you're a family of foodies, you won't want to miss Newport's Annual Wine and Food Festival, which takes place the third weekend in September. But if you're in the mood for something more casual, then grab a bite to eat at The Red Parrot. This festive restaurant is located in a former meat packing house which employed hundreds during Newport's Gilded Age.
As for accommodations, Gurney's will give you and your family unparalleled views of Newport's stunning Narragansett Bay. Although their Kids Club closes at the end of Summer, your children will still enjoy splashing around in their freshwater, heated, indoor pool.
