3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012 NEW

We stayed one night, but won't return unless a renovation happens. The furnishings and building are shop-worn...almost creepy on the rainy evening we arrived. No staff stay through the night making it seem all the more like an old movie (think Boris Karloff and a giant old house with expected noises). Parking is limited. Evening host was friendly, but no... More

Mary, Thank you for your input, we do value it. We are the new owners as of late August, and shared similar opinions as yours. You will be glad to know that we have indeed started renovations! Since you have stayed back in September, all of the bedding has been replaced with luxurious crisp white duvets and linens. Also, we... More

We stayed for two nights here in the Master Suite. It was awesome. It was a great romantic experience for both of us. The Hot Tub was great and fit both of us. After that, we lounged out in front of the faux fire place with a great deal of comfort and relaxation. Warm, quiet, romantic. The room and the... More

Only had one night there but have absolutely no complaints. Would probably stay there again if and when we return to NFLD. Had the Green Room. It was clean and well appointed. Had to leave before breakfast so cannot comment on that. Would not hesitate to recommend it for those looking for a bed and breakfast. More

We had the Gold room!!!....the B&B used to be the mansion of a millionaire, we were told by one guest. The entry hallway was huge, 10 X 30. We made use of the living room, very spacious; enjoyed good conversions with other guests and watched some TV. Our room was carpeted and very comfortable. All but 1 room had en-suite... More

We booked the Master Suite as a treat but probably should have chosen a different room to save money. The room was ok, but older decor, bed was not very comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was terrible. I'm not really a jacuzzi type so really this was not worth the money for me. We stayed in a... More

We started in St. John's while on our driving tour of Newfoundland. Didn't get the car til we were leaving St. John's as we did not want to be responsible for a car in a city we did not know. Had a fantastic time here. We specifically booked rooms with en-suite bathrooms as that was one of the two request... More

This was our first stop in NF and we stayed 3 nights. Our plane arrived quite late, but the hosts left a note on the door with all the information and instructions we needed. Our room was extremely clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious with fresh fruit, yogurt, and many choices for a hot breakfast. It was a pleasure... More

The Compton House is beautifully restored and furnished. Each room is unique. You can enjoy the in room jacuzzi tubs and fireplaces. The host and hostess are very gracious and accommodating. I travel to Newfoundland each year to visit my mother in a nursing home and I look forward to my stay at the Compton House. The breakfast is wonderful.... More

I travel to St. John’s a couple of times a year and I always stay at the Compton House. The house itself is beautiful. The innkeepers, Cindy and Bob, have done a fantastic job of decorating and furnishing every room. The rooms are luxurious and impeccably clean and inviting. Cindy and Bob are charming hosts and will do everything they... More
