It’s a lovely old home. Our room was large and very comfortable. Breakfast was in a box and ok. There was a step in the bathroom that was awkward.

Lovely place to stay
Lovely place to stay. Only seven rooms. Breakfast is pre-prepared and delivered outside your door every morning. Handy location for downtown and five-minutes walk from The Rooms (a fabulous museum/art gallery).

Think twice about this!
Travelling solo, I was pushed to the third floor (up steps no elevator). No radio and TV wouldn’t ‘t work ; when travelling solo the silence is not good. Clearly TV worked in other rooms, I could hear it! No staff around to ask for a correction. Water stops when in the shower. Called more than 24 hours in advance to cancel another single night stay ( on the eave of a holiday/regatta ) and was told no refund; when they could ( and likely are) reselling the room at 2X cost. This site is right on the road and city street cleaners/machinery passes by 4 X between midnight and 1 AM; waking all visitors. This is not family friendly. Advertisements say WiFi included and breakfast; in addition to no TV or radio, WiFi does not work and a boxed breakfast left at your door ( including heavily bruised, inedible apples) Far from downtown and NO restaurants nearby. Don’t do it!

So much character to this property in a great location for walks downtown. Loved the boxed breakfast although would be good to change it occasionally. The room had some fan noise from another room and parking was full on our last night stay and we had to park on the street. All in all, I would come back again and recommend it to others! Thank you!

The a/c needed a towel under it to soak up the water from the a/c. Phone did not work and wasn’t fixed when we reported it. Bkft was from 8-10. It was out of coffee and milk for cereal by 9:30 and not replenished both mornings of our stay. Property has recently been sold. Perhaps things will change.

lovely small hotel. It was taken over by new owners the day before we arrived so they have some things to attend to - we had no housekeeping. Caretaker on site was so helpful and tried so hard to please.

it is very nice and quite.My only issue is that there is very poor tv choices.I thought we were back when we had no fibre connections.Sad!! Everybody got better than that in there homes today for what a few more choices would cost.An extra$5.00 on the room would make the viewing more attractive.

Beautiful heritage character in authentic turn of the century home of Lord and Lady Bennett. Lovely fireplace and stain glass in my room and common areas. Very comfortable bed and furnishings. High ceilings and windows that look out to other heritage homes. Lots of amenities including fridge and microwave in common area and breakfast included. Helpful staff. Great location. I would definitely like to come back to stay here again.

Great old period type home. Well appointed. Although it was nice that the bathroom had a heated floor it would never shut off and was too hot for the feet. Breakfast was lacking. Great location near downtown. Would stay here again as it was quite charming.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay! I love the story of the hotel and all it's architectural charm. The check in process was very easy. The only thing I was missing from this room was a little fridge. It was a very warm evening and I would have loved some cold water. A water cooler is located downstairs in the common area but having to get dressed through out the night to head downstairs was a little inconvenient. Other than that we very much enjoyed our stay and we will be back again for sure!

Our whole trip was cancelled because of Covid 19 travel restrictions of the government of Newfoundland. We were not allowed to travel into Newfoundland. This hotel will not give a refund, even under these exceptable circumstances. All other hotels and car rentals allowed cancellations because of Covid 19. But not this hotel. Under these circumstances this is not right.

Response from manager on 25 Jun 2020
As an exception for non-refundable booking options due to the covid 19, we offer hotel credit voucher in lieu of the the refund. Hopefully will see you in the future.

This property is a gem. The building has been beautifully restored and refreshed. Our room was large and tastefully decorated. The bed was so comfortable! It is located within walking distance to the downtown area, so that is a definite perk. The caregiver is very friendly and does a wonderful job. We will definitely go back.
