Cantwell House

What a wonderful B&B. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. We had access to the kitchen and a third floor sitting area. The bed was heavenly and we had the best sleep since we started our travels. In the morning, Audrey was there to greet us and provided some choices for breakfast. Along with a bowl of fruit and choice of beverages, we were full. Audrey is very knowledgeable about Newfoundland and assisted guests with ideas on what to explore. Cantwell House is located blocks away from downtown and Jelly Bean Row. Easy to get around if you don’t mind the hilly streets. We will definitely return on our next adventure to St John’s.

I cannot say enough kind words about Audrey and her hospitality. We arrived middle of the night and there were fresh baked treats waiting for us at the entry way. Our room was comfortable and clean and just perfect. In the morning she made fresh breakfast for her guests and we all got to know each other. She even offered suggestions for us with local points of interest and places to travel to / eat at. I cannot stress how amazing she was for my husband and I on our honeymoon and my birthday. And how wonderful this BnB is. She set the bar high here ◡̈

This is a quaint B&B located in the Jelly Bean area, walking distance to downtown , lots of street parking. Audrey is a wonderful host, and her breakfasts are yummy, and she even accommodated my Gluten Free diet. Audrey was very helpful with tips on the area. We enjoyed having breakfast and meeting the other guests, and talking about our adventures. The 3rd floor balcony has an amazing view of the harbour. Goodies were left out in the afternoon.

We loved our stay at Cantwell House. Audrey was our charming host who provided good conversation and delicious breakfast. The old house is beautifully maintained and perfect location for downtown St. John’s.

We had a lovely stay at the Cantwell house. Comfortable beds, very spacious room and bathroom and very well located. Parking and breakfast is included which was really nice and convenient. The host was also very accommodating and responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Seemed very welcoming, but unfortunately when we arrived on the day of our reservation, we found the door closed. We had corresponded by email, the reservation was made, but you have to give your credit card number by email (which is absolutely not secure and which I refused to do). I tried to contact them by phone several times to make a payment over the phone, but I couldn't reach anyone and no one called me back despite my Canadian Phone number... On the day of our reservation, we rang the doorbell and called, but no one answered. We had to find last-minute accommodation, which was very unpleasant... So bad for this place, which seemed very nice!

My wife and I loved our stay here. Very comfortable room, fantastic breakfast prepared by Audrey, incredible view looking toward the harbour from the 3rd floor balcony. Location was terrific and easy walking distance to The Rooms, the harbour and George St. It's on a fairly busy street but no issues with noise inside the house and parking was easy to find, often right in front of the house. Audrey was wonderful, very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend a stay here!

We stayed at Cantwell House for two days in August. The rooms are so unique with Newfoundland culture. The view at the balcony was great: Signal Hill, harbour, Jellybean Row. The host Audrey made us delicious hot breakfast, and allowed us to store our luggage there after checking out. We chatted with Audrey and other guests in the dinning room. It was a great stay.
