and Sara Oliveira its new Assistant General Manager.
The Newport Experience is delighted to announce the appointment of Teresa O’Connor as the new General Manager and Sara Oliveira as Assistant General Manager of Stone House Inn, which recently reopened for the season.
In her new role as General Manager, O’Connor will oversee the day-to-day operations of the 4-story, 16-guestroom inn with a history dating back to 1854.
Prior to joining the inn, O’Connor served as the Club Manager of the Sakonnet Golf Club, a position she held for 9 years, where she worked directly under the Board of Directors to enhance member experience and club culture.
Earlier in her career, she served as an instructor of hands-on training for Life Raft & Survival Equipment based in Tiverton, RI, and managed life raft rental fleet for offshore races and recreational use.
“I am very excited to be at another historic location in town that has so much to offer,” said O’Connor. “With Sara, Joe and additional staff joining us, we will continue to make the Stone House the special place that it has been for many generations.”
Oliveira has joined the Stone House as the Assistant General Manager, sharing a common vision of hospitality and operations as Teresa. She has been well known in Little Compton for many years. Oliveira and her husband started Compton Clambakes in 2001, providing the local Little Compton area with catering and dramatic onsite clam bakes for many weddings and private parties. Sara also opened Charlotte’s in Westport for additional catering and dining offerings.
O’Connor and Oliveira are longtime residents of Little Compton, RI and have known each other around town and in the hockey community for years. Engaging with the community will be a key focus for them and together they will be a dynamic team.
Their enthusiasm and dedication to providing the highest standards of customer service will be a great asset to the Stone House Inn.

Ashley and John’s coastal summer wedding at OceanCliff was filled with so much beauty and love. They had a stunning color scheme with hues of pink and orange flowers.
When Ashley described her vision for her reception she said “The main goal was for the room to feel warm and inviting. Inspired by our Italian heritage, the color palette and theme were inspired by the whimsical and dreamy coast of Italy, with personal touches throughout.”
One of our favorite moments from their wedding day was that the rain stopped and the sun came out right before the ceremony started and Ashley picked the song “Here Comes the Sun” to walk down the aisle down to. Ashley said, “that was a moment that she will cherish forever and the circumstances made it that much more special.”
This wedding was so special and it will be one that we will always remember!

Litchfield Distillery recently stopped by The Safari Room at OceanCliff to chat with our restaurant manager, Reagan Nicole, and sampled our new fall cocktail, the Cocoa Maple OldFashioned. We are honored to be the first restaurant in Newport to be featured in their Mixology Spirit Series.
The Cocoa Maple Old Fashioned is made with Litchfield’s Distillery’s 4-year Straight Bourbon along with their Bourbon-Barrel Maple Syrup.
“The addition of Dark Creme de Cacao and Cocoa Bitters adds a subtle layer of chocolate flavor, while creating a velvety-smooth mouthfeel. If you love Old Fashioneds, this is a nice, simple spin on the classic recipe—one we think is especially good for the fall and holiday seasons.”
When asked what makes a great cocktail versus just a good cocktail, Reagan said “Quality ingredients and creativity…and recognizing when simplicity is necessary.”

Thank you Litchfield Distillery for visiting us and trying one of our new fall cocktails!
