Homeport Historic Bed & Breakfast/Inn c 1858

Clean, quite, comfy and conveniently located. The breakfast was great! Really good use of a beautiful historic building.

The lovely home is huge and nicely furnished. The view of St. John from the back yard and from the widow's watch is wonderful, provided you can see anything when it's not foggy, which is often is. We had the Crowsnest suite and it was a corner of the house with a bedroom, small kitchen, full living room, and an enormous bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. One tiny negative is that they have single-use shampoo and conditioner instead of wall-mounted refillable bottles. The staff was able to accommodate our early morning departure with a to-go breakfast, which was really nice. The sit-down breakfast when we were able to attend was a set menu breakfast, but it was very good eggs Benedict and fruit, and the fruit was arranged in an adorable smiley face, very cute! They also had granola and yogurt and there were always waters and juices in the refrigerator in the lobby, plus coffee and tea. The house is so beautiful and sprawling and it's fun to be able to go up to the widow's watch and sit. It is a historic house, but it has been beautifully updated and maintained. Very nice place.

Lalena welcomed and asked us what time we wanted to eat breakfast (to split the guests into 2 groups), and then it was off to the races (Reversing Falls, to be exact) after we dropped off our luggage. Neil is a fantastic chef and very personable. We love staying in historical hotels and this one dates back to the mid 1800s. Enjoy the free parking and short stroll to downtown. Also recommend Lemongrass if you’re into Thai food.
