Gower Manor Historical Bed & Breakfast

Gower Manor Bed and Breakfast is unique!! It has a carefully curated decor like living in a museum. Located in the colourful row houses near Jelly Bean Row in downtown St. John's. The entire place is very clean and cared for well. Bill's hospitality and knowledge of the area is fantastic. I wish I had stayed for more than one night. The self-serve continental breakfast is no frills, which for us wasn't an issue since we had to be at the airport very early. There is a communal fridge in the kitchen and if needed, you can request a spot for your own personal items. The neighbourhood was quiet which was nice for a restful sleep. We stayed in the Blue Room which is at the front of the house. You can catch a glimpse of the iconic The Rooms Archives and Museum from its windows. The bed was adequate. It was comfortable enough. It wasn't the most comfortable bed we slept in on our 9 day trip, but it also wasn't the least comfortable either. There are signs posted throughout the B&B with instructions and expectations clearly marked. This is very helpful. The communal bathroom is large. We didn't use the tub or shower, so cannot comment on their status. The next time I visit St. John's, I will definitely book a longer stay in this lovely space.

Perfect location, house was spotless. The owner was so knowledgeable and helpful. 10/10.

This is the most unique place I have stayed. What a beautiful old house, full of history. Bill was a welcoming host, there wad everything needed for a continental breakfast and tea and coffee at any time. The location in downtown St. John's was perfect for hiking to Signal Hill and around the Batteries. There are many close by places to eat. The bed was very comfortable.

Immaculately conceived and immaculately kept home that truly had every I needed and more - The location is blocks away from all four historic church museums and blocks away from the eclectic streets and culture of the most colourful city in the world - Thanks to our host Bill for his attention to detail and kind demeanour- God has certainly blessed his home and my experience here in St John’s; and the rest of Newfoundland I saw as well - Thank you - Until next time - Randall
