This was a beautiful stay in a historic looking house. It was easy to find with free parking and delicious breakfast. Shower was nice with hot water after a long day of exploring NL. Bed was comfortable. I recommend it.

8.4/10 Very Good! (5 reviews)

Exceptional stay for my first business visit to St. John's The inn was so carefully curated with details. The bed was of my best sleeps ever. I wasn't expected linen sheets that smelled so heavenly. I will definitely be back on my next trip to St. Johns in fall. ODM- business traveller from Calgary

Dress warmly! Your baseball cap will surely blow off your head, so wear something on your head that won't blow away. Good gloves too!
