My husband and I were only able to spend one night in Saint John, unfortunately, but we took full advantage of our hosts' suggestions for seeing what we could during our day there. We took their recommendation for dinner, within walking distance. Additionally there are brochures and books on the area in the rooms and the guest lounge. We had to catch the ferry early the next morning and were pleasantly surprised to be served a full hot breakfast before our departure (we'd been expecting a boxed breakfast to take with us). Our room was large and pleasant with an excellent bed. My memory is a bit vague now but I think the bath towel provided was a bit smaller and less fluffy than I'm used to. But a cozy bathrobe was provided. Parking is definitely tricky as it requires backing into a driveway and positioning the car exactly, but we were relieved to have on-site parking and didn't move the car anyway except to depart. Carl and Jim don't take credit cards but this information is on the website and in emails and phone calls they reiterated it, so we were prepared with cash (they may do Paypal, not sure). This is definitely an old-fashioned B&B--and I mean this positively--with only a few rooms (all different), the hosts living onsite, full breakfasts, conversations with hosts and other guests expected at the table, no in-room TVs, no elevator, and a definite sense of being in a home rather than a hotel. We enjoyed the Victorian house, inside and out! A final note: I filled out the online reservation form but did not hear back from the hosts so called a couple of weeks later when I finally realized we didn't have a confirmed reservation at the B&B. They had responded, but for some reason I did not receive their message. I'd recommend calling to reserve, or at least following up by phone within a couple of days of sending your message.
