A pretty blue historical home in a row of colourful clapboard houses, Gower Manor is a friendly and convenient place to stay in downtown St. John's. Bill shares his home, which is filled with antiques and collectables. He enjoys meeting the people who come to stay with him. I had the room at the top of the home with a comfortable twin bed, a useful antique oak desk, an antique dresser, an antique chair, and a glassfront antique bookcase. There was also an array of interesting artifacts. Breakfast was continental: coffee, tea, hot chocolate, juice, hot or cold cereal, toast, yogurt. It is available "any time before lunch," to quote Bill. I would highly recommend staying at Gower Manor, as long as you don't mind sharing bathrooms.

It would days to fully take everything in, as the the house is full of treasures. Also, I had the best, hottest bath in years. Perfect location to walking up Signal Hill and the coast.

Everything was great. Lovely house, good location, friendly host. I gave it a 4 because the breakfast was not what I usually expect for a bed and breakfast -- cold, serve yourself. On the other hand, we were free to eat when we wanted..... I would stay there again.

In my experience, coffee, tea, toast, bagels, waffles, hot cereal, etc. are not cold foods. What part of "self serve continental" didn't you understand?? The breakfast is exactly as advertised in all of my promotional literature. Maybe you should read the information before booking.

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.

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.

Reactie van Bill Marshall op 8 sep 2022
Thanks for your kind review. The breakfast is advertised as minimal, this keeps the room prices down. Why do people complain when they get exactly what was advertised? If you want fancy food there are 6 restaurants close by. Alternately, I could raise the prices by 50 per night and hire a cook. How much complaining would I hear then ??

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.

Gower Manor was an interesting historical property but having said so it did not have a/c nor could we open the window to get some airflow. It happened to be 29C and hot. It was convenient to have access to kitchen and self serve breakfast but I do appreciate the comfort of someones home and enjoy being served the breakfast as well as having chat around the table

The room contained an expensive and effective Dyson air conditioner complete with remote control. I explained how to operate it. All of our promotional literature on line makes it very clear that the breakfast is self serve continental. If this person wanted a hot breakfast served to them they should have booked at an establishment offering to provide same and been willing to pay an extra $50 per night for the privilege.
