This is the most unique place I have stayed. What a beautiful old house, full of history. Bill was a welcoming host, there wad everything needed for a continental breakfast and tea and coffee at any time. The location in downtown St. John's was perfect for hiking to Signal Hill and around the Batteries. There are many close by places to eat. The bed was very comfortable.

Excellent central location accessible to all sites in St John’s Very clean property Expedia falsely advertised a 24 hour shuttle which was one of the reasons I booked here and was never endorsed or organized by owner. I recommend use of liquid soap not bar soap in shower re public health recommendations Sharing bathroom amongst all rooms may create difficulties if people have early starts but second shower available in basement. Much better price than large hotels
