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

Stayed 2 nights at the Elizabeth Manor (same owners). Breakfast is served at rhendell. Breakfast was good and staff helpful. The house appears uninhabited except for the b&b functions so no owners to be found. of you're looking for the "b&b owner-run ambience", this isn't the place for you. The house is old but clean. It doesn't have a/c Location... More

My husband, my two daughters and their husbands stayed here for two nights. To say that their brochure was misleading would be an understatement. Our first impression was not favorable as the paint was peeling on the front of the house and the stairs to the front door were in need of paint. Our 'welcome' consisted of instructions to remove...

We stayed at the Rendell Shea for a week in July 2011 - the accomodations were great, the bathrooms were modern and rooms very clean. The staff was super friendly each and everyday - breakfasts were quality. The location is perfect - walkable to any location in downtown old/downtown St. John's. Will stay again - great experience. Couple; Home: Miami,... More

We booked the "Elizabeth Manor" which promised 4 1/2 stars, a patio area, large tv, full breakfast. Upfront we were told that breakfast is actually around the corner at a cafe, which was very nice, although impersonal. Not a B & B atmosphere at all. Never once encountered an owner or staff. I had to go outside, around a corner... More

I was excited to stay in an old style B n B, and staying in a old house in St. John's was right up our alley. Breakfast was served between 8-9am. Unfortunately, we missed it everyday due to our jam packed schedule - But it sounded delicious. It is very close to down town, shopping, sites and historical spots. If... More

Although the Rendell Shea is an historic home in the heart of downtown St. John's, it is lacking in ambience and warmth. Our room was comfortable, but details like ragged towels, a bathroom doorknob that fell off the first time we tried it made it seem run down. We were not able to open our window, which was cracked and... More

Self contained apartment (third floor). Good location for downtown and fairly quiet in the winter although in hotter weather traffic might be more of an issue with the windows open. Generally clean and adequately furnished although showing signs of wear and tear. A welcome pack would have been helpful with information about the local shop for the basics e.g. tea,... More

We came to St. John's with no expectations, except for travelling around and staying at many different B&B's and hotels. We stumbled across the Rendell Shea and had planned to stay for one evening...and ended up staying the whole trip. The place was spectacular, the staff and owners were extremely friendly and helpful in making our trip wonderful. The owners... More
