Finding the mansion

• By car: parking at The Breakers is free and on site.
• By taxi: give your driver the address, 44 Ochre Point Avenue.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Restrooms in the Welcome Center.
• The Breakers Café on the estate.
• Free parking on site.
• Stroller parking near the entrance.

Travel light: large bags are not allowed inside and there are no lockers. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

The Breakers is partly accessible. Wheelchair users can enter the first floor directly, and a staff-operated elevator serves the second floor. Wheelchairs and other mobility devices are not provided.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• Strollers are not allowed inside the mansion; there is stroller parking near the entrance.
• Ask mansion staff for the elevator, assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the mansion thoughtfully

• Leave furnishings and historic surfaces untouched, and supervise children.
• Non-flash photography for personal use is welcome; selfie sticks, tripods, flash and photography on the stairways are not allowed.
• Suitcases, carry-on luggage and oversized bags are not allowed inside, and there are no lockers.
• Only water in a sealable container may be drunk inside the house.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance during your visit.

A little care helps protect the mansion and its atmosphere for everyone.

Make time for a pause

The Breakers Café, on the estate, is a place for refreshments before or after your visit.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Only water in a sealable container may be drunk inside the house.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: download the free Newport Mansions app before you arrive, and bring earbuds for the audio tour.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, a layer for the sea breeze and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow about an hour and a half for the house, and time for the lawn above the ocean.
