My wife and I are extremely pleased to recommend the Rendell-Shea after our recent five night stay here hosted by the very courteous and helpful owner, Earl, and his staff. Earl's friendliness and assistance throughout our too-short stay was always appreciated. The building has significant historical lineage but is well maintained in a wonderful heritage district central to all major... More

I stayed at the Rendell-Shea on recommendation from local friends who I was visiting in St. John's. This B&B is in a prime location - super close to downtown, Quidi Vidi and Signal Hill and everything within walking distance. The heritage home is beautiful and cozy - my room had a luxurious bed, it was recently renovated, very clean and... More

This bed and breakfast has a good location, however the room had the bare minimum. We stayed there in the off season, so there was no breakfast... The place felt deserted. We did not see another person there including the staff.. There is hot water radiation heat and no thermostat, so you can control the temperature by opening the window... More

We stayed in the Rendell for one night while in St. Johns, and enjoyed our time there. Room was large, clean, and with a private bath. We had a very comfortable queen bed (many other B&Bs have a double) and the breakfast was very good, eggs benedict with toast. Very luxurious common area; bedrooms relatively simple. Good shower as well.... More

My husband and I stayed for two nights. We had stayed in a hostel the previous two nights in order to save up for this expensive B&B. This was meant to be the accommodation highlight for us on a very modest honeymoon budget. The in-room jacuzzi being the most exciting luxury. We arrived and found the old heritage home just... More

A group of us stayed at The Rendell Shea in July 2012 and loved it. There were 3 couples and we all enjoyed the quiet home and excellent location. The rooms were large with ensuite washrooms. Breakfast was superb and the service was great. Would definitely recommend!

when we arrived, there was no one to answer the door...there was a phone to connect us to someone and initially, we got the answering machine...a few minutes later, we were told to go around the corner to their other house. The housekeeper greeted us warmly and showed us to the third floor room....hot but had a fan. She was... More

Our first impression was not good as we arrived in the pourng rain and couldn't get anyone to answer the door. This problem seems to be caused by the absence of the owners. The only person there was Michelle the housekeeper and she was upstairs cleaning when we knocked. She finally let us in and our room was ready. She... More

7 of us stayed here in August. Whilst the rooms were large (and gloomy) and the bathrooms were satisfactory and clean, that is the only positive thing I can say about this place. Terrible breakfasts - all pre-packaged. Nothing freshly cooked - in fact nothing cooked at all unless out of a packet. All served by students who appeared to... More
