The owner of the B&B was friendly enough, but the room wasn't really clean. Hairs on the toilet seat, hairs in the bathroom sink and dirt and dust under the furniture were a little too much an in-your-face reminder that other people had been in there the night before. I definitely wouldn't stay there again. Oh, and the almost-mandatory scrambled... More

I stayed at the Narrows for an extended week, last October. I just knocked on the door one day and Ann was there to welcome me. This was my first trip to St John's and what a wonderful place to stay! Everything is impeccable, Ann and Brenda are vibrant knowledgeable hosts, I felt very much at home here. This is... More

We went upstairs and made tea and relaxed in the living room before our walk 'round the town. The next morning we met Ann and Brenda over breakfast.... More

Ann and Brenda made our first trip to Newfoundland a wonderful experience. We stayed 6 nights and saw first hand the warmth and hospitality of Newfoundlanders. They were able to direct us to sights to see around the area as well as good restaurants to try. We had the top floor with a private sitting room and nice view of... More

I was in St.John's from Wednesday till yesterday, stayed 3 nights at the B&B. I cannot tell you enough how much I loved it. The room was huge, extra clean (this is something extremely important to me) and warm, with beautiful furniture and enough place for all my stuff and more - something I only saw in 5-star hotels I...

Made a reservation for 2 nights ~ 2 months in advance, re-confirmed twice. Checked in mid-day (Saturday), and that evening found a note on the bed saying that the manager had overbooked and had to move me the next day (Sunday) because a group of 4 was coming in for 4 nights. Room was dark, with no view. Sunday's breakfast... More

My partner and I stayed at The Narrows while visiting St. John's for the first time. The hospitality we experienced at The Narrows was undoubtedly an integral part of the wonderful overall experience we had in St. John's. Ann is a great host, and Brenda will greet you with a big hug in the morning and then regale you with... More

This quaint B&B is located in the downtown heart of St. John's. With modern and traditional decor, The Narrows was a real 'welcome home' treat. Breakfast was set in a big table on the second floor where visitors gathered round and shared travel stories. Our breakfast was prepared by a born and bred Newfoundland lady whose knowledge and love for... More

I just got back from a solo five-night stay at the Narrows. Ann O'Brien and Brenda Johnson are warm and friendly, welcoming, and ever so accommodating. They serve a delicious breakfast every morning with lots of lively, colourful conversation and laughs. They helped me with tour bookings and suggestions for places to eat and shop. My room was comfortable, affordable... More
