So great trip, bonus stop in Fall River. The Breakers was fantastic, but understood HBO was filming "The Guilded Age" so was a tiny bit disappointed in Rosecliff as a substitution for Marble House. With so many other options in the Newport area Rosecliff just wasn't as impressive. Still very beautiful, with lovely grounds.

Enjoyed the tour guide and the Breakers. No one in our group was impressed with the Marble House. I would pick another Mansion if possible.
