Very nice Victorian house. The woman who runs it (Danielle) was very friendly and cooked a nice homemade breakfast to order. My only complaint is the sink didn't drain. Otherwise a very nice stay.

Nice hostess

Beautiful old house but would be a warmer stay during the months outside winter. The hostess, Danielle, was excellent and helped us stay warm. Cancellations cannot be made after 72 hours before check-in. Is rather restrictive. We departed 1 day early, because it was too cold to downhill ski. Even though we departed at 9am, 1 day early, we had to pay for the not-used departure day. In hindsight, we should have stayed at a hotel. We would have not lost the $$

We so enjoyed how this property was fairly newly and tastefully renovated. Tho it may not be the most quiet (busy street) or convenient to downtown, it was comfortable! Beautiful surroundings, bed was great, and the breakfast very good. Danielle was an awesome host.

Television in room didn't work. No staff after hours to trouble-shoot. "Basic" room aptly described - very basic, dated furniture, no bathroom in room.

Superior to a Hotel

I had never stayed at a Bed & Breakfast before so I wasn't sure what to expect. As it turned out, it was a terrific choice. It was definitely not a cookie-cutter hotel room experience. The room and bathroom were very nice. The house itself had lovely common areas. The neighborhood was a little out of the way from downtown Fredericton, but not prohibitively so (only a 30 min walk). The area and house were very quiet at night; very relaxing experience overall. I would recommend.

By The River has been restored to its century old grandness. It is just an awe inspiring place to spend a night. The innkeeper was warm and friendly, great breakfast served in the grand dining room. Very special place, loved it.

The property is an old and historic house, in need of a bit of tlc and the decorative touches that would make it interesting to the b & b crowd. The staff was pleasant and willing, but slightly overwhelmed by the many demands of their guests. Breakfast was ample and well cooked, but would have benefitted by the addition of a glass of orange juice or a piece of fruit. Not a bad stay by any measure, but not quite living up to its mark.
