What a lovely lady this B&B has as a host. She is the personification of class. She was a font of information on the history and architecture of the downtown and the local political scene as well. This lady is a Provincial treasure. Her husband Louie was also quite kind and attentive

My mother and I arrived in St.Jonh's with no plans at all-only excitement. This was our first trip alone in over a decade and our first B&B stay in just as long. We felt fortunate to have made a great choice in staying with Mary in her beautiful and welcoming home. Her gueats too were fantastic and helpful. In a... More

We had the pleasure of staying at Cantwell House on 3 occasions for several nights each in Sept-Oct 2012. Our experience echoes the positive comments made by other writers. Right from the start Mary's warm welcome and our lovely, comfortable room (#3), reassured us that we'd made the right choice. All the good things we'd heard about Newfoundland hospitality were...

Cantwell House - what a great way to start the first two days of our 16 day vacation in Newfoundland (September 2012)! Mary is a warm, hospitable and helpful host who provided us with delicious breakfasts (and fun stories!) and great suggestions on what to see and where to eat in St. John's and surrounding area. Her home is lovely... More

My husband and I booked a three-night stay at the Cantwell House B&B for the start of a nine-day holiday in Newfoundland and Labrador. The Cantwell House is quite well located in the city - within walking distance to the downtown and all those famous streets! Just be prepared for the steep climbs up and down the hills!. The house...

A belated thank-you to Mary and Louis for showing us what Newfoundland hospitality is all about. What a way to start 2 fabulous weeks in your beautiful province. My husband and I travelled to NL with friends the last week in May and first week in June. In all we stayed 8 days at Cantwell House and when we returned... More

I love this friendly, beautiful, well located B&B. Mary and Louie are so helpful and full of information and ideas for your Newfoundland travel - not just St John's! The historic house is perfectly situated if you are a walker or have a car - right in the centre of things on the hill. The 3 rooms are elegant and... More

We stayed on the busiest day of the year -- St. John's Regatta Day. This place is spotlessly clean and they even provided us a parking pass and served a lovely full, hot breakfast to boot. Views over St. John's Harbour impressive! Friendly, helpful hosts made our stay special. Great downtown location near The Rooms and the huge Church (which... More
