Our stay at Cantwell House was fantastic. Mary and Louie are terrific ambassadors for St. John's and Newfoundland in general. They both spent time chatting with us and offering suggestions for places to visit/eat and Louie even drove us a short distance to Quidi Vidi so we wouldn't struggle finding a place to park. The B & B was perfect... More

Mary and Louie are great hosts and run a wonderfully comfortable B&B. I'd stay there again without hesitation. I was satisfied with location, breakfast, and the bedrooms. I don't think you'll regret staying here. More

Mary and Lou were the most gracious hosts. Rooms spacious and spotless! Yummy breakfasts! Loved the old house and all it's character. Felt like walking up my Nanny's stairs. The view form the deck was the best. Facing east, the sunrise, the harbour and Signal Hill, Can't think of a better way to start and end the day watching the... More

This was our second visit to Cantwell House. The hosts, Mary and Louis, couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. They are just the nicest people, and "real" Newfoundlanders. The rooms are lovely, clean as a whistle, with comfortable beds and great bathrooms with luxurious towels, everything you could ever need. The top floor has a great deck with big... More

Was shifted due to an overbooking to this lovely B&B. Fabulous view of the harbour from sitting room upstairs. Lovely, quiet bedroom. Owners are very helpful re: city sights & restaurants. Breakfast was delicious & large, featuring local specialties, e.g., bakeapple jam. More

What a great find! Mary and Louie were the perfect host and hostess. We had the two rooms on the third floor and enjoyed the guest lounge and the balcony every day....great view of the city and the harbour...perfect for watching the boats come and go while enjoying a glass of wine. The rooms were spacious, very clean and comfortable... More

We're a young couple traveling to NL for the first time with our 8 month old baby. We are grateful that Mary and Louie could accommodate us in their lovely historical b and b. Mary even set up a playpen for our baby in our room. We had room 2 on the second floor which had a wonderful view of... More

We were fortunate enough to stay four nights at this wonderful bed and breakfast. Unlike some B and B's we stayed at the hosts lived on site. Mary and Louie were so hospitable and gracious and made us feel very welcome and at home. We stayed for three nights and liked it so much we changed our plans to stay... More

I got in at the last minute and I was glad I did. Mary and Louis took care of me like I was a guest, and not a customer. For travelling alone for the first time to St. John's, I was made to feel at home. It was a convenient location to go everywhere, and if I didnt know how... More

Our stay at Cantwell House was wonderful for several reasons, but the top one was the ever helpful, always friendly and welcoming owner, Mary. She makes every guest feel like family and makes the entire Bed and Breakfast feel like your own home. More
