Guest Reviews
- CWalter (5/5): -
- Michel (8/5): - Emplacement, confort, tranquillité
- Christine (10/5): -
- Michel (9/5): -
- Brenda (10/5): - Very enjoyable stay. Beautiful setting.
- Daniel (10/5): - This is an exceptional property. Take the time to really explore it. We were lucky to get the Governor's room - where apparently the Queen spent a night in 1994. We plan to return and treat ourselves to the 4 o'clock tea. Thanks for such an incredible experience. Dan and Estelle
- Kokanee (6/5): Old building with incredible antiques in good location. - This hotel is an old building on a riverfront location. The room was large and there was an added gallery which proved to be very pleasant to sit in after supper. The bathroom was very modern, well equipped and ultra clean. Water was hot and towels excellent. The house is stuffed full of antiques which in the public space is interesting but in the bedroom is way too much. The hotel does not provide food and because of its location one has to drive some distance to fid anything to eat.
- fiona (8/5): Excellent - Delightful historic building full of wonderful antiques and ambience
- Darlene (10/5): Queen Elizabeth stayed in this mansion in 1959. That made my stay feel even grander. - The breakfast was fabulous. The place was beautiful. It was like stepping back in time. We loved all the seating areas and all of the wonderful art and antiques to look at. It is unfortunate that the dining room is not open.
- Barbara (8/5): - Mike is a lovely host and the rooms are spacious and our bed was super comfortable. Our room looked over the Miramichi river which is very scenic. Peaceful and quiet small hamlet.
- Patricia (9/5): We had an enjoyable experience but I feel, once fully renovated, the inn will be spectacular - The antique furniture was amazing as was the deep soaker tub. The bed was very comfortable Because of the renovation going on, the place had an abandoned feeling about it. There was no cream for the coffee and only 1 tea bag.
- Elita (6/5): no breakfest - it was nicely decorated on the inside too expensive and the breakfast was not included as the description initially stated - no discount was offered. I found this information very misleading.
- Pierre (8/5): Great destination to explore the Miramichi region from. - No Breakfast. Great location. Property under renovation which was no problem for stay but explains maybe lack of staff and lack of breakfast. We had two rooms and although both rooms where very comfortable there was a large difference in ambience, where one room far exceeded expectations, and was located in the original "mansion" with all it's oppulence, the other was located in a "utilitarian" add-on that was not much different from a "Comfort Inn" motel, except much roomier, and in comparison, fell short of expectations. :-) All in all however, we liked it a lot. See above
- Patrick (10/5): - Wonderful classic historic home with waterfront location. Beyond friendly proprietor!
- bnbdigs2 (10/5): The Inn for hometown history and life - Our room was surprisingly spacious with a living room, refrigerator, bathroom and bedroom. The bed was especially divine. The innkeeper, Mike, is one the most generous, kind and friendly people we've had the pleasure of meeting. His patience and deep history with the town and people allows him to answer most questions with ease: where to eat, family stories, who might be able to clean a grave stone. He epitomizes hard work, humility and the value of building genuine relationships. The only minor downside to our stay: it was a little hot and stuffy for us to enjoy the veranda this time of year but the views from it are marvelous. We just walked along the river instead. It would have been a next level bonus to sit out there with windows open enjoying the view, so we'll just have to go back when its cooler.
- Stephen (8/5): Mike was an excellent host -
- Gordon (7/5): Good -
- Robert (3/5): Disappointing - It was rated a 3 star property and we have had good luck staying at similar ones. The inn was empty on arrival. We let ourselves in and found our room. My wife found the place musty and not very welcoming. We went for a short walk and to be honest not well located for any longer walks. Returning to the inn my wife was uncomfortable about staying in such a large house by ourselves. When we went for dinner would be returning to a dark unfamiliar place? At that point we decided to leave after we found a budget hotel closer to town.
- Gordon (8/5): Very good -
- Sarah (8/5): Extremely beautiful and incredible collection of history. - It is an incredible living collection of history, situated right in the river and the owner is lovely. I was only there to sleep so it was a very brief stay.
- nathand203 (10/5): Keep up the great work! - Governor’s graciously hosted members of the Rotary Club of Miramichi for a social event with music and entertainment on July 23, 2024. It was a great experience, with a fantastic caterer and quality entertainment. I would highly recommend Governor’s for anyone looking for a place to stay overnight or host a social function in the Miramichi area.
- Constance (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay and we definitely would stay here again! - Our stay at the Governor’s Mansion was wonderful! The architecture and furnishings made us feel transformed to an earlier time. The host was so knowledgeable about the history of the region and so helpful. We would definitely stay here again!
- Denise (10/5): It was a very enjoyable stay. - The buildings history and all of the beautiful antiques. The room was very spacious. We enjoyed watching the sunset across the water. N/A
- Kanuckabroad (10/5): Lovely, well-maintained inn that is a comfortable atay - This wonderful period mansion was the perfect place for our family to stay when we were in Miramachi for the Eclipse. Would also be great for couples. As a family (with pretty quiet kids who are not alllowed to run around and who have early bedtimes) the Governors suite with a master bedroom and a little adjoining room with two twin beds was a perfect set-up. Beds super comfy and I LOVED the sheets. Michael was welcoming and the directions and check-in were very straight forward. Breakfast was continental and had everything we needed. I may send my parents here for a weekend away.
- Ellyn (10/5): we felt like royalty! - Amazing history and Michael was a source of history and willingness to give a plethora of information. check in was seemless. two of our lightbulbs in room did not work well.
- maurinaj (10/5): Put this on your Bucket List! - This Inn is not only unique and historically beautiful, it is warm and cozy . The host Mike is one of the most friendly I have ever had. I stayed in “Governor’s Lady” room for a week while visiting family. Last but not least the views of Beaubear’s Island are amazing, especially at sunset.
- 970margitv (2/5): Disappointing - Rooms under construction, very poor service, no indication of the state of construction before we arrived, preordered breakfast was delivered evening before in the fridge, no breakfast in the breakfast room no dinner, documentation in the internet and in room from better times indicate that’s one’s even dinner were served, this standard seem to be gone
- 290trishr (2/5): Renter Beware - not as currently described - After 40 years of wanting to stay at this hotel, as I have frequented this area often , I picked the wrong time to book it. The dining room isn't open due to covid, nor is there any cable tv due to the renos...as advertised by The innkeeper Mike advertised that is an understatement, it's more like under construction. The main floor rooms are full of stuff from other rooms (bathtubs, furniture) that you're not able to enjoy the rooms and the history this hotel offers, not to mention the inch of dust on the furniture as well. We booked for 2nights, but only stayed 1 as we felt unsafe and uneasy. The hallway to our room in the back was unfinished with no drywall, insulation and beams and wires exposed. Our room was "ok" the bed and pillows however were comfortable. After confronting Mike the Innkeeper about our wanting to leave and not feeling comfortable, he refused to work with us for any compensation or to only charge us for one night, claiming he was fully booked yet we were the only couple there. He then proceeded to scream at me when I brought up the dining room and covid restrictions being lifted. He also claimed that our charges were put thru and wouldn't be able to do anything for us and that he's a small business owner, basically too bad so sad that we weren't happy! He is a liar, as he processed my card after we left. Iam so disappointed, that my dream stay was ruined. Rest assured the Miramichi is a beautiful place with beautiful history and people. There are plenty of other places (B&Bs) to stay that are willing to work with the customer. This guy gives Miramichers a bad name!!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The property is beautiful, the furnishings unique and the bed was comfortable, and we looked forward to enjoying a stately home environment. Unfortunately the Inn was under renovations and we couldn’t stay for the full period of our reservation due to the dust. Would recommend it for a special stay but only once renos are completed. Very friendly staff.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was lovely, and micheal was a superb host! The rooms was extremely clean as well kept
- Paul (10/5): - Friendly staff and wonderful decor.
- lyndalanglais (8/5): Nice place to stay - We enjoy our staying , very clean , good breakfast . A a lot of history , if you take the time to read it can be very interesting Beaucoup aimé , très propre , bon déjeuner , un endroit avec beaucoup d'histoire si vous prenez le temps de lire ...
- KeithF955 (10/5): Quiet, Friendly, and Clean - I travel to Miramichi several times each year, and have always stayed at a hotel. This time, however, there was a baseball tournament taking place, and all hotels in town were booked up weeks in advance. So for the first time ever, I booked a room at a bed and breakfast ... The Governor’s Mansion. The first thing that impressed me was the friendliness of the staff. The place is old, but clean and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable and the place was quiet for my two night stay. I haven’t slept that well in years. Breakfast was delicious too. I’ll book here in the future for sure.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Apparently we stayed in the same room as Queen Elizabeth did on her trip to Miramichi in 1959! However it was very musty when we initially got there so we opened all the windows and turned on a fan and went out for a couple of hours. When we got back it was fine and the rest of our stay was pleasant.
- michaelmN8576IA (8/5): Great Stay - One of the most beautiful B & B we have ever stayed. The furniture was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed looking at all that was in the house and read about the first Governor. The one problem is there is nothing within walking distance. You have a car.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice old house full of antiques great people big rooms
- 786terryw (8/5): Road trip - The mansion is a 10 minute drive from the town on a quiet road alongside the river. It looks slightly tired from the outside but was having some renovation work done whilst we were there. The inside is like entering a National trust house, it's full of antiques and vintage furniture which had descriptive cards explaining what each item was. The bedroom was large with a king size bed, fridge and microwave as well as a decent bathroom. The TV looked vintage with a small screen but did have a supply of films to watch. Breakfast was not of a high quality Not much choice, we were given quiche and fruit on the same plate and offered toast or croissant. The cereal was in jars on the side and it looked like it had been in the jars for sometime. Parking is plentiful and easy. It was an ideal stopover for one night.
- MaximeB324 (8/5): First time experience with B&B - Like I said, this was my first experience with a B&B. Location was a little bit off town but that was fine, just beside river. Friendly staff. House was antique and room also had that antique feeling (this is not a modern hotel !) . Very clean ! with little chocolat on the bed as complementary ! However, there was no big TV flat screen. Just a regular 1990 13' TV with a VHS or DVD..... WIFI excellent Thanks
- Peter (10/5): - Beautiful house, with an amazing collection of antique furniture. Helpful and friendly host, an excellent hot breakfast, beautiful view of the river from my window.
- Stevethearchitect (10/5): Very pleasant stay - We had the Governor’s room (who had clearly been removed from office and sent back to England!). The room was very large with plenty of space for luggage, huge bed and a good choice of seats. The bathroom was unheated, which does require rectification. Everything worked well; with two towel rails and space for wash- and make up bags and the bathroom soon warmed up after leaving the door open. The breakfasts were great. The owner was extremely helpful with tips for outings and much besides. Top marks. Some reviews may highlight niggling maintenance issues or old style decoration and fittings, but you’re not paying for a bland, modern, corporate hotel with ‘have a nice day’ staff. Great place to stay!
- hwayneh2018 (6/5): Getaway with my grandson - Having stayed at Governor’s Mansion before I wanted to share this experience with my grandson. It is a wonderful old mansion furnished with some very interesting antique furniture. The other plus was the excellent breakfast that goes with it. Our room and bath were well appointed and very spacious looking out over the river. All was well until breakfast, where I had expected a hot breakfast etc. Unfortunately the breakfast has diminished from a wonderful hot breakfast to a coffee and toast event. It was very disappointing, especially since I had really been looking forward to their wonderful hot breakfast. Other than this disappointment everything else met my expectations z
- Steve (10/5): - Fabulous place with great provenance. Great room and bathroom. Very special.
- tomhR4951WU (6/5): Tough review for me - We were going to spend a night in Miramichi and while we usually stay at one of the major chain hotels, we found that these options were not available. So for us this place probably was really a 3 and a half rating. It is a nice property right on the river and we paid for a river view room so that was great. It is an old historic building and the Queen apparently slept in our room in 1959. They settled for us this night. We had a King room with a view. It was very nice. A lot of period furniture and lovely stuff. Chandeliers, tables and chairs as well as couches. This is a wonderful place if you are a history buff. There was no fridge in our room but I think others did have one. Our room had air conditioning and it worked very well. I believe one of the toughest things for places like this is trying to keep them up to snuff. For example the wall paper was peeling in places in our room. That seems like nit picking but you'd think that was a negative in other places. But having said all that the place was charming and only had about 6 rooms all on the second floor. The dining areas all had period furniture and were beautiful. They offered a free breakfast which was fine but didn't include eggs or meat options. Don't know if we were supposed to ask. Wasn't important to us. There are zero options for dining within walking distance and it is at least a 5 minute drive back across the river for some if you don't get caught in the construction. And those options are relatively pedestrian. We just grabbed a pizza and took it back to the room. Staff treated us incredibly well. We do not regret staying here as it was a lovely room with a nice view but we faced a couple of challenges based on the way we travel. Not everyone's issue. So this was a nice place to stay and if you are into history and B&B's this is your spot.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Its absurd this place has anything but a one (1) review. Incredibly outdated room (a vhs tube tv???) the shower is literally something out of a halfway house. Blatantly obvious no one from expedia or tge like has ever set foot in the "mansion" The owners have a 5 year old "please be patient during renovations" when obviously there hasnt been a reno in 30 years. The owners should also thank their lucky stars they have the staff that they do. And at a b&b breakfast is not coffee toast and a few tubes of cereal. Shocking. Completely shocking
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice place! Quiet location. Right on the river. Enjoyed the large double room with a sitting area.
- Hamboat (8/5): Living with Canadian history. - We enjoyed our two nights in this historic mansion turned into an inn. From it’s lovely spot on the Miramichi river to the lovely antique furnishings we found the mansion an enjoyable stop. Our host was very helpful and filled us in on the history of the mansion and the area.
- hwayneh2018 (8/5): Road Trip to Bathurst,NB - On a quick trip to Bathurst in business with my grandson we decided to stay in Miramichi. Having stayed at the Governor’s Mansion on a previous trip we decided to overnight there. This was because I had had such a positive experience on my previous visit. This stay was equally positive and we had the Queen’s Bedroom on the front overlooking Miramichi River. Very comfortable king bed with private bath including tub and shower. Breakfast was included and Simone was very friendly and accommodating. A small disappointment was no bacon and eggs and canned fruit but otherwise a very good experience.
- 83janetk (10/5): A wonderful location on the Miramichi with excellent host! - My husband and I enjoyed three days in the area visiting friends in August. We stayed at the Mansion and we're amazed by our host Michael's warmth and knowledge of this historic Mansion, home and the area. Breakfasts were plentiful and delicious with lots of choice. Rooms are delightful and historic. The location is excellent with easy access and walking distance to Beaubears Island, National Historic site We would highly recommend a night or two at the Governor's Mansion as a destination stop to anyone travelling through province or locals seeking a weekend getaway.!
- DebraJeanne52 (10/5): A wonderful B and B - We stayed at the Governor's Mansion Inn and enjoyed it very much. It is a very historic home with wonderful antiques throughout. When we got there no one was there, and we called the phone number on the door. The Innkeeper answered the call and gave us the code to get in the house, and told us where our key was. We enjoyed looking around the beautiful home, and got settled in. The Innkeeper was there within a few minutes and greeted us and told us some wonderful things about the home and area. He said the home is in the process of being restored, but they've done a lot already - it really is gorgeous. We went out for the evening and when we got back, he was there to visit with us. In the morning, we had a delightful breakfast of fruit, eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast. We are not coffee or tea drinkers, and they provided hot chocolate for us. Our room had a king sized bed (very comfortable) and a large bathroom with a shower and tub. The water pressure in the shower wasn't the best, but it wasn't terrible. The location was very quiet - right across the street from the river. There are many small cards under/near the works of art, clocks, etc that give details about the pieces. The Innkeeper was very eager to share his knowledge about the pieces if we asked. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Governor's Mansion Inn, and hope others will, too!
- tourguidebabs (4/5): Disappointed - We stayed in the governors room, it had a wonderful comfy bed, however the bathroom which is large needs upgrading the water pressure was appalling a dribble at best. The to is out if the 1970's seriously needing upgrading. The mansion is full of furniture that is wonderful but with no one around to explain the heritage. Breakfast was a huge disappointment to say the least. Advertised as continental- they seriously need to research what that includes. Juice, coffee and a bowl of pre cut fruit , poor selection of Cearals and a slice if toast doesn't cut it. As someone who us gluten free to be told there is no bread and none if the cereals are gluten free is unacceptable when we notified them in advance of my allergy. Would not recommend this place to anyone.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Tremendous service. A great tanks to Mr Michel - Me Michel ad a great sens of partenership with is client and is realy open to give a quality service
- guiguisan1 (10/5): Really cosy! Très agréable - Great spot, quiet, comfortable and delicious breakfast! The only alternative if you are looking for something that is worth every penny. A glimps of the past Superbe endroit, comfortable et déjeuner délicieux! La seule alternative si vous en voulez pour votre argent. Un voyage dans le temps.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Would not choose again - Place seems on it last legs. It is too bad and felt sad about the condition of this place.
- Jim (10/5): Take in some Canadian history in Miramichi - Mike is a warm and very helpful host. The hotel offers dining - breakfast and dinner - by reservation only and I would definitely recommend breakfast (unfortunately we did not have the opportunity to have dinner). Our room was spacious and very nicely appointed with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hotel is full of history, antiques and amazing model ships - give yourself some time to soak it all in.
- Kenneth (8/5): Cute B&B in an old mansion, right on the water - My wife and I had a pleasant stay. The mansion overlooks the river, and there are some nice sitting areas to read quietly. Our room was spacious and comfortable. There's not much in the immediate area; you need to go across the river onto the Newcastle side for stores, restaurants, nightlife, etc. But if you're in the area and want to avoid the bland low-budget chain hotels, this is a nice option.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Manoir historique - Ancien manoir du lieutenant gouverneur. Des travaux de restauration se font actuellement. La finition du coin salle de bain de la chambre laisse à désirer. Bel édifice.
- François (8/5): - Accueil et endroit splendides. Grande générosité du propriétaire. À recommander.
- jacqueline (2/5): - Very desapointing, it is old, it is very expensive for the quality of the place , for half of the price paid it would have been honest, but not at 157$
- Trevor W. (6/5): Step back in time. - Staying at the Governor's Mansion is like stepping back into history. It dates back to the 1860's, with many of the furnishings from that era. A stay here should include a visit to the near-by Interpretation Centre which presents the history of the area. The house features in this presentation. We thoroughly enjoyed checking out the antique furniture and furnishings. The room was comfortable but security was an issue as there was an indoor balcony running along outside our room. The windows connected could not be locked. The bathroom sink needs a light. The rate for the room was attractive but the continental breakfast was over-priced at $8.00 per person. We enjoyed our stay.
- Samuel (8/5): Nice but not cheap. - we booked this hotel and it was everything we asked for, but for 260$ the breakfast should be included. Also the room was really nice but the WiFi was not accessible. We had a great time and the house was just amazing.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Like a night at the museum. Quiet, relaxing! - With a beautiful view of the Miramichi river and ile Boishébert.
- Fiona (10/5): Interesting Residence in Quiet river area. - We stayed for only a night. The setting was beautiful and Mike, the proprietor, was most informative about the local attractions. Breakfast was available for $8 (as I recall) for continental or $14 for a cooked breakfast. The water was VERY hot, be careful with small children. The house decor was historic, interesting and attractive.
