Can't imagine a better location in the downtown. If you like privacy and quiet then this place is your ticket. Met the owners' children one day. The little girl is beyond beautiful and the son has brighter teeth than a movie star.

This is my first time staying in a Bed and Breakfast and I must say I am impressed. My company couldn't find a hotel so they booked me in Balmoral. My work is located in the downtown area so it was only a couple minutes walk to where I had to be in the morning. They have all the amenities that a hotel would have but its much more comfortable than a hotel. I love the view from my room as well I have a fire place. Next time I will be bringing my wife. She would love the decor and the art work. I'm still here until tomorrow and then back home.
The room was comfortable with a reasonably good view of the harbour. Good location away from the hustle and bustle of downtown but within easy walking distance. Be aware, that St. John's is on a hill so be prepared to walk down and up, to and from downtown. Warm atmosphere, clean, spacious rooms and accommodating hosts. Simple, self serve breakfasts.
The room was smaller than our luggage. Unfriendly signs warned that shoes couldn't be worn in the house, and when my husband needed paper to print our airplane tickets, he was given a single sheet of paper to print 4 boarding passes. The most unfriendly, tiny place I have ever stayed. You couldn't even sit on the toilet normally because the bathroom wall sloped down to prevent you sitting upright and forward. The bathroom was smaller than most people's closets. I wish someone had warned me that the only good thing about the place is the view and the A/C. I will not go back unless I shrink to child size, because only a child could fit in that room.
The place had total privacy and was deadly quiet. I parked directly in front of the door which put us 15 feet from the entry. We loved the semi circle wall in our bedroom and the sunrise over the Atlantic. Went back to sleep and made our own breakfast at 11:00
