Kosher Bed and Breakfast in Newport, RI

The Associated Press:

A practicing Catholic who attends church each Sunday, Mary Ellen Newbury hardly seems a sure bet to know the ins and outs of keeping a kosher diet.
But as innkeeper of the Admiral Weaver Inn, the only kosher bed-and-breakfast in Rhode Island, Newbury's job is to ensure her guest's religious needs are satisfied -- whether by making sure that meat and dairy meals are kept separate or by keeping bacon and sausage far away from the house.

The Admiral Weaver Inn's website doesn't provide any information about their kashrus. A quick search turned up another site, the aptly-titled KosherBedAndBreakfast.com, which makes no reference to "The Admiral Weaver Inn", but lists the same street address. I wonder why they advertise them separately; the above article does mention that some non-kosher clientèle are upset by the lack of a hot meal on Saturday mornings. If you're going to book a stay, it looks like the rates are cheaper on the kosher site.
