Quartermain House Bed & Breakfast

ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR AN OUTSTANDING STAY!! I miss it already!! I treated myself to a solo trip to view the total solar eclipse & found this incredible gem! Debra was prompt at all of my inquiries leading up to my stay, helpful in making all recommendations of where to eat and places to visit around town. Even with a last minute flight cancellation, they were so accommodating. Her husband Russ was the best! He picked me up after a major flight change and delay in the wee hours of the morning, and cheerfully drove me back for my return flight home. The house itself was so meticulously restored- I have been in a number of historical homes and this one definitely ranks as one of the top ones to preserve the feel and original character of the common areas of the property and even in my room. You can tell how much attention, care and passion the owners have for keeping the homes’ history of hospitality. My room (the Quartermain Quarters with the private luxurious bath- which was not in historical keeping of the house, but a welcomed retreat!). Not one thing was overlooked or missed. The location was amazing- walking distance to the heart of Fredericton’s downtown along the Saint John River- no car needed and it’s a very safe area. Coming from a bigger city, I had reservations about walking by myself as night fell and I had texted Debra- she met me halfway from the restaurant to walk back with me to the house- NEVER would find that staying at a chain hotel, and I have NEVER had any host do that for me! My favourite part were all the breakfasts! Different each morning, but each one of them absolutely delicious- some of the best I’ve had. I recently was on a river cruise which had five star food and Debra’s breakfasts and presentation could easily rival (if not beat) the dishes I had on that cruise. I can’t wait to come back and bring my family! The perfect viewing conditions for the total eclipse was the cherry on top of a most perfect stay at Quartermain House. Don’t look anywhere else- book directly with Debra on their website and she is the best at getting back to you to make your stay perfection! I’m a bit hesitant writing this review because I’m scared that they’ll be all sold out of the dates I’ll need when I come back, but Debra and Russ are the absolute best hosts and make “supporting local” a no-brainer!
