Our host, Dave, and Cherrie were both amazing: welcoming, attentive and offering helpful tips. The house has been lovingly restored and is in a great location: 6 min. walk from the Rooms and easy walking distance to the main downtown sites. Would definitely stay again.

The view from the front porch was of the harbour and channel out to the Atlantic ocean......beautiful. The front rooms of the B&B have this view. The house was beautifully appointed and our host was very helpful.

The Balmoral House is a bed and breakfast run by a great, friendly, young couple. It is located just above the hub of St. John's within walking a distance of all of the pubs and restaurants (which is great as it can be hard to find parking in the core). We were lucky to have the best room in the house and it was lovely, although old fashioned. The place is and probably the best part of our whole stay.

Our hostess in the morning, Cherie, was so helpful and friendly. She shared her experiences in St. John's and was so positive.
The owner David was very pleasant and both of them offered suggestions for must see places. it's right downtown so we could park the car and walk, walk, walk!
