We adored the manor. It’s quirky but welcoming. Bill makes sure you have everything you need and is an excellent guide for exploring the area. The aesthetic is historic and unique. A perfect location and we would 100% stay again.

Best, most unique stay in St. John’s!

This is a must stay in St. John’s! It was such an interesting place and felt very homey. The owner, Bill, is very approachable and kind. The building has a very interesting history. It was so cool to stay in this Victorian styled home! It is walking distance to downtown, the rooms, and Signal Hill! Great location. Would 100% recommend this to people seeking to stay in a place with historic significance and homey feel!

Very friendly owner, house was always clean and comfortable. Food options were great! Issue we ran into was St John’s was in a heat wave and there was no air conditioning.Not usually an issue for this area but made for a couple sleepless nights.
