Earle of Leinster Inn Style

We bought an overnight stay for our parents at the Earl of Leinster for their collective birthdays and anniversary that all occur in the same month. And their stay did not disappoint. They had a wonderful stay in the Lord Edward room with the four post bed and had a wonderful meal the next morning served by Chelsey who was a wonderful breakfast host. ||My folks are still talking about their stay!! ||The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. |And the price was right and worth every penny. |The breakfast was excellent with hot bacon, homemade waffles from scratch with tea, coffee and juice, fresh fruit and fresh whipped cream. ||Everything was absolutely excellent,||Well, done Earl of Leinster. I would recommend this establishment to anyone and everyone who are looking for a friendly, cost-effective, overnight stay in the beautiful city of Saint John, New Brunswick. ||You won’t wanna stay one night, …..you’ll want to stay many nights! ||Thank you Dwight and Cheryl :) |5 Stars! ||- TD

We had a wonderful stay at this B&B. We stayed in the Fitzgerald room. Super easy to access, quiet area, and comfortable beds. The breakfast provided in the morning was wonderful and staff was warm and welcoming. Also a great price compared to other hotels/accommodations in the area. Would highly recommend!

Smack in St-John’s downtown, close to its old market (and tourist office in it), this B & B offers a practical and comfortable stay. We had the Shamrock studio at the back of the building, so it was very quiet. It offered a small kitchen with microwave, hot plate and fridge. Sink near the bathroom at the other end of the room however. Quite small bathroom with shower only but with plenty of towels and toiletries. Comfy bed. Everything was clean but wifi was spotty, best near the windows. Hot breakfast of pancakes with fruit was served at 8:00. Quite good! Great conversation with Chelsey!! Reservation by email enquiry with fast answers. No issues here. ||Some parking spaces in narrow driveway but possibly problematic if leaving early. Free on-street parking.

Wonderful, charming Inn, room was pristine clean, every nook decorated with Victorian theme, a real work of art. Bathroom was tiny but functional. Breakfast was in beautiful dining room, elegantly served with gourmet touches. Server was charming, knowledgeable, helping us understand St. John's on our 1st visit. Loved evening walk to nearby downtown with great restaurants and bayside boardwalk.

You could not find warmer or more accommodating hosts than Cheryl and Dwight. They gave us tips on parking, museums (Jewish Museum is practically next door), and how to get around. It was very quiet and the long-term residents were also nice. The yummy breakfast gave us the energy to start the day.

I can’t imagine giving this hidden gem anything less than five stars — it’s truly one of the best stays we’ve had in Canada. The space is filled with so many thoughtful details and decorations, you could easily spend a whole day just exploring the room. The breakfast was also absolutely delicious.

Unfortunately, our stay at this lovely bed and breakfast was only one night, but it was a fantastic night and morning. The owners called me prior to our arrival to ensure I had instructions for parking and how to get into the room and main space, as well as to get preferences for breakfast the next morning. We did arrive after they had left for the evening, but we were able to check into our room with ease.||The Inn is an old Victorian house near downtown Saint John. It features a number of rooms within the house, a couple rooms with private entrances attached to the back, as well as a carriage house that has a few additional rooms. It also has a lovely courtyard/garden with tables for chilling outside, which we did!||We stayed in the Shamrock Room, which was decorated in an old farmhouse style. The room featured a sink in the room and a small bathroom with stand up shower stall and toilet. It also had a small kitchenette with a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, all of which was unexpected. There was a counter with stools for eating in the room. The bed was comfortable and soft, though the room got a little warm as there is no air conditioning. Thankfully, the air outside was cool and the neighborhood quiet. So we left a window open.||The breakfast the next morning was phenomenal, and the owners were very friendly and fun to speak with about the town and our travels. They were very knowledgeable about the area.||The only downside is that they only take cash or e-transfer (Canadian banks only). So I had to walk a few blocks to go to an ATM, which was not an issue. I'm pretty sure they told me it was that way when I booked, but that was several months prior to our stay. So I likely forgot (or assumed e-transfer meant Venmo or PayPal, as I am not Canadian).||I would certainly stay here again if I find myself in Saint John. It was a perfectly lovely night in a cute little city.

The Earle of Leinster was a stop on a family road trip (with my husband and teenage daughter). The house looks nondescript from the outside but the inside is a labor of love: a restored Victorian, with themed rooms that are decorated with great, quirky details to evoke the period. The Inn is not fancy, but it is charming, clean, unique, and thoroughly enjoyable. We also enjoyed chatting with the housekeeper, Chelsea, about local history. The innkeepers, Dwight and Cheryl, have downsized so that only a couple rooms are available for overnights (the rest are for longer stays). We would definitely stay there again.

Wow! This place is amazing. Cheryl and Dwight are the best hosts. We stopped here on a road trip up to Prince Edward Island and they were so hospitable and helpful. The room we stayed in was out back in the carriage house...very warm and cozy and clean. Just what we needed. They even allowed us to use their washer/dryer to do laundry. They gave us tips on what to see in St John and where to eat--check out Britt's Pub! The breakfast was one of the best on our trip...homemade cinnamon rolls, an egg casserole, fresh fruit, and good coffee. Loved getting to know Cheryl and Dwight and the other guests. The room was very reasonably priced and the location is a short walk from the heart of St. John. Wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely go back.

We stayed here while in St John as we always prefer a B&B to a motel or hotel. Nice older building in the centre of Old Town within walking distance to the City Market and lots of restaurants. The owners are friendly and welcoming and seem to genuinely like people. A huge plus in this business. The room we had was full of old items to match the style of the building. Our only issue was that the beds were very high and hard to get in or out of. Our room had a single and a double and the single had two box springs as well as a full sized mattress on the old wood frame. I realize they did this so the two beds would look the same height but it was a challenge to get in to. A very tiny bathroom was in the room which was nice but the shower was very small so if you need space to move around in there you may want to stay in a different room which may have a larger shower stall. The included breakfast was French Toast & Fruit with Bacon on the side. Huge portions and very tasty. We went out to get latte's as soon as we got up as The Earl of Leinster only offers drip coffee and we are addicted to coffee with more teeth then drip can achieve. I would recommend this cute little B&B if you are looking for accommodation in downtown St John.
