The house is a beautiful old home with an eclectic decor of antiques. Bill certainly has an eye for interior design. Central to downtown SJ near restaurants, bars and the harbour. It is a short drive to Signal Hill and other attractions. A bit hot with no AC on a sweaty summer night but definitely a cool place to stay.

Beautiful historic B & B, makes you feel like you’re in a different time period. The place is so well taken care off. It also has a nice social room to meet other guests and a large kitchen where you could prepare some of your own meals. Nice and quick breakfast options to get you started for the day.

My 3-night stay in "Harry's Room" at the Gower Manor was fantastic. The beautifully restored house and the antique items were the highlight of the visit - just sitting in my bedroom or one of the sitting rooms, or walking down the stairs to go out the door, revealed interesting new details to enjoy. In terms of amenities, my room was spacious and clean, and the bed was comfortable. Little touches like a basket to carry my toiletries to the bathroom showed a great deal of attention to guests' comfort and convenience. There were plenty of supplies for a simple breakfast (coffee, toast, cereal, muffins, etc.) every morning, and guests also had access to the kitchen and fridge to store and prepare their own food/drinks, which was appreciated. Finally, Bill was a great host - he was friendly and available to answer questions, and it was lovely to chat with him about the house, things to do in St. John's, and restoring antiques. If you're seeking a comfortable bed and breakfast experience with unique character, I would recommend the Gower Manor!

Beautifully restored historical house with a huge collection of memorabilia, spacious room and shared bathroom. Spotlessly clean. Breakfast is self-service and a bit meagre. Would have been nice to have some fresh fruit, eggs, or some bagels.

Staying in a museum is a fascinating experience. Even more so were the demonstrations of how some of the house and music worked. Every room is picture worthy and Bill is a very accommodating and entertaining host.

Staying at the Gower Manor is like staying in a museum! It's unique. Every day I discovered new details. Every part of the property is filled with collectibles and antiques. It's quite the trip to walk around it and take in souvenirs of royal occasions, gramophone records, old soda bottles... There was even a musket above my bed! If you haven't stayed in a REAL bed and breakfast for a while, then this is truly a trip down memory lane to a time when all seaside hotels were like this. I'm from England and it is just a reminder of how life used to be. Bill, your host, is a charming man who makes time to help with any questions or concerns. He took time out of his day to help me find a walk I was having trouble locating, and recommended places to eat. My bed was more comfortable than I'd expected it to be; the room was very clean and full of restored furniture as well as memorabilia. There were glasses and plates in the cupboard. Breakfast is basic, but plentiful, with flexible times rather than the old standard of "sleep in and tough luck", and there is space in the kitchen fridge for guests to store their own food. This place won't be for everybody. It's an old house, so there is no air conditioning, though a fan was in my bedroom and helped to cool me down. Some will find the museum vibe overwhelming rather than charming. If you've spent a lot of time in modern hotels, then a communal bathroom takes some getting used to. If you Embrace Gower Manor, it's unforgettable.
