  Don't think twice, definitely book this place. The owner Coral and her family are amazing people. The place is very clean and the rooms are beautifully decorated. ... read more The breakfast choices are fantastic and satisfying. Walking distance to two very good restaurants. One is at the Delta next door and an upscale Chinese restaurant. My husband and I stayed her twice within a week apart. Couldn't ask for better service. Also check out their spa...excellent too! Oh by the way, if you're lucky, you may hear Coral's son practise his piano late morning...very good player!

  Stayed for one night to break up a long drive - what a brilliant find. Room was big with an enormous bathroom (with whirlpool bath), separate sun room and a... read more comfortable room with full cable TV.

Everything was spotless and Hao was great. Nice breakfast too. Great value will definitely be back when next in Fredericton

  We were delighted with our stay at the beautiful historic home “By the River B&B”! We stayed in the Mary Grannan suit and it was more beautiful than the pictures!... read more Beautiful decor, very comfortable bed and huge bathroom with a whirlpool tub. Breakfast orders are taken the night before. We had eggs Benedict and a veggie omelette. Both were delicious. Fresh fruit, yogurt, juice and coffee complete the meal. The Inn is a 20 minute walk to the historic part of downtown. We enjoyed the free walking tour. I highly recommend this B&B.

  I want to give this friendly, lovely B&B 5 stars, and with a few tweaks, it will get that rating.

We loved our room and the breakfasts. Our only... read more quibbles are to have a trash can in both bath and bedroom and to have coffee / tea service in the afternoon or at least in the room. We expect both in a B&B.

That said, yes we plan to stay again. The family are friendly hosts.

  We stayed in this glorious renovated home for only one night. The owners are simply lovely and couldn't do enough to make our stay a success. The room... read more and the entire house are spotlessly clean. We ordered the traditional Chinese meal (dinner). We were so lucky to be the only ones there. It was wonderful. We enjoyed a pedicure at the spa with Destiny. One of the best pedicures we have ever had. She is simply lovely. You absolutely cannot go wrong staying at this B and B. We can't wait for a return visit.

  Super weird room. SUPER weird. I understand the compromises that need to be made when you divide up an old house to become a B&B (or an apartment building, or... read more whatever). But our room was long and narrow and included 2 full sized beds. The beds were next to each other, and one was pushed against the wall. That bed happened to have the better mattress, so that was the one we slept in - however, for one of us to get out in the middle of the night, we had to crawl over the other, thus waking them up. So we wound up sleeping separately. The rest of the room includes 2 plastic chairs facing a wall with a mounted TV. And there is a tiny screened in porch with a chair for 1. A fridge for 1 can of soda. And no reading light. So useful for basically not much. For reading, you have the choice of the overhead light, or, one lamp. The house is meh. And its B&B furnishings are still meh. And what gets me is that their "welcome binder" in the room makes a point of asking for guest forgiveness, because this B&B is still a work in progress. (If I remember right, they are "only" 3 years old.) But I didn't feel like we were charged "work in progress" rates. We were charged proper rates. Also. Our room had bees in it. Bees....

Also. Our room had bees in it. Bees. We reported them to the innkeeper and indicated that we had been the ones to pop a screen out of a window so that we could remove over 10 bees from the sunroom. He said the bees came in because the screen had been removed. Which, obviously, was not the way things had happened. We could see where they have sprayed expansion foam into the wall in an attempt to block the bees. Which were already in the room. Before we removed the screen.

Anyway. Tub was LOVELY. Shower was cheap, but a creative solution. But still, one of those plastic shower trays that dimple when you walk on them. But the tub was lovely. (Even if you couldn't remove the plus without considerable effort because the spring was broken.)

In all, overpriced. Disappointed. Not what I could call a B&B. We slipped out before breakfast because we just didn't want to be there any longer. More
