The breakfast here was nothing short of amazing. The dining area is beautiful. The staff were friendly and professional. The reception area is clean and bright with beautiful antiques but there is where it ended. In room 4 the bed was squeaky and old, the rug was dirty and the woodwork was badly chipped. The sink cabinet in the bathroom was bare wood and the furniture in the room was badly scratched. This is a beautiful inn but they need to start renovating the rooms if they expect a 4.5 rating to continue.

Breakfast was amazing, prepared in the dining area by the host while he chatted with guests. They even provided a to-go breakfast when we left early on the ferry. The access to the house from the street is easy to miss, and the outside looks a bit shabby but don’t be put off. Inside is lovely with common areas to sit, read, and visit. The furnishings and decor are suited to another time, adding to the feeling of history. The widows walk is a nice touch, and the outdoor chairs overlooking the harbour were well used by guests. The room itself was large and comfortable though the claw foot tub was quite small. We enjoyed 2 nights while we explored the city, and were quite happy with the experience. Lots of resources (local restaurant menus, guidebooks, etc) were available.

Beautiful and charming B&B in St. John. Great breakfast. Lots of stairs if you're older or out of shape but certainly worth this minor inconvenience.

This is a lovely older property in a great location on a hill overlooking St. John. It is convenient for the reversing tides and Uptown St. John. The proprietors are very friendly - Lane told us about the restaurant by the reversing falls which was fun - the husband of the two cooks the excellent breakfast. He was very helpful to us in planning our trip up the New Brunswick Coast - suggesting the sea caves and Fundy Trail which we did not know about. Just one word of caution- the stairs are a little tricky for an older person - they were fine for us but I can see that they could be difficult for someone who is not in great walking condition. Overall, excellent stay.

Two historic homes have been combined with a beautiful, sunny addition that flawlessly links the two homes. The property is on a hill, accessed by a narrow driveway with parking and the guest entrance in back. We were warmly greeted upon our arrival, given room keys, dinner suggestions and an offer to help carry in our luggage. Everything inside is perfectly maintained. You will see model ships and historic photos in the common areas. Our room on the 2nd floor was actually the 3rd floor because the reception area was up one flight of stairs. Our room had a double bed, a twin bed, two large windows overlooking the front of the house, a desk, two chairs, a small ensuite bathroom, two robes in the closet and plenty of good lighting. Breakfast with French toast, lots of fresh fruit, granola, yogurt and juice was served in a lovely dining area. We are in our early 70s and had no problem navigating the stairs with our luggage. People challenged by climbing stairs may not find this place suitable.

We had a premium suite and it was very nice and quite large however, in such a large room, a king size bed would have been preferred and as opposed to a queen and perhaps a new mattress should be thought of

We loved almost everything about our experience there except for two things: I found a shower to be rather dangerous looking for a place to hold on. Second thing the bed we are used to at least a queen size bed, and it was only a double bed so we had a great deal of difficulty in sleeping. Also, the bed was a little soft for our comfort.

This was our second time at this B & B, and we're glad to be back. We stayed in St. John on our way from Vermont to PEI, and we did the same thing on our return trip. While the outside of this property could use some TLC in the paint department, the inside of this historic building is immaculate and filled with historic charm. Just be aware that you need to go up a flight of stairs to reach the lobby level. BTW, there's always free, fresh coffee available (KEURIG), as well as water. Our room (number 1), had a double and a single bed and a private bathroom with a charming tub. It's by no means a huge room, but all we needed was a place to shower and sleep. The mattresses are excellent, and the bedding is soft. The B & B itself is an easy, ten-minute drive from uptown St. John where all the restaurants are. Speaking of food, the breakfast that's prepared in front of you at this B & B was once again out of this world and based on fresh ingredients. The chef is well-traveled, and happy to share his experiences with you. My wife can have no gluten at all, and this place is very safe for people suffering from Celiacs disease! Next year we're going to Cape Breton, and we'll be sure to stay at this B & B again. We can't recommend it enough!
