The special qualities of this B & B start with the beautiful interior and warm welcome. Our room was spacious and nicely decorated as was the bathroom. The beds were ever so comfortable and the inclusive breakfast one of the best.

We stayed for 3 nights (13th - 15th May 2013) and I think this is probably the best B & B we've ever stayed in. Janet, Gary, Katie and Bowser are welcoming hosts, friendly and hospitable, who really cannot do enough for you. The house is well located and is within walking distance of bars, restaurants, shops and St John's... More

We stayed At Wit's Inn for 2 nights while in town for the weekend. The Inn has been beautifully restored, is spotlessly clean and Katie was both friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We were very happy with the hospitality and the inn itself. Our room on the third floor was large, quite comfortable and the continental breakfast was more... More

We stayed here recently during the off season. What a fantastic place - from the decor, the continental breakfast and the friendliness and helpfullness of the people there, our whole trip was made that much better! It is also conveniently located just a short walk from downtown and all the main attractions that the city has to offer. If you... More

I could not have been happier and really hope I get an opportunity to return in the summer to try Janet's breakfast after a night on George street!! Janet was a pleasure to book with and her... More

What a way to end our NL vacation. Janet and her husband Garry were the best of hosts. We stayed in room 2 on the 2nd. floor, very large, very comfortable, very clean and with one of the best beds we have ever slept in, wish I had it at home. We had a rental car because we travelled around... More

This place is as perfect as you can get. Our room was spacious, spotless, and comfortable. Janet and Gary treat their guests like family. We stayed there for two nights. By the time we left, we even felt related. Breakfasts were heavenly, there were chocolates in our room, and port was available in the evening. Janet even left little post-it... More

You won't go wrong if you decide to stay at At Wit's End. It's well located for the restaurants on Water and Duckworth Streets. Our room was spacious and comfortable; full breakfast offered; proprietors were more than accommodating, and are very knowledgeable about area's attractions.

We spent three nights at this lovely B &B. Could not have asked for anything more. Very comfortable room. Spotlessly clean and a wonderful breakfast. We have stayed all across the island and this would rate as our very first choice. We certainly would return if we are in St.Johns.
