About Us

Our names are Dwight and Cheryl Reimer and we are the proud new owners of the Earle of Leinster B&B.

We began our married lives together in NB more than 35 years ago. Since then we have lived in different parts of Canada, but mainly in Kelowna BC where we were originally from. While there Cheryl worked at Walmart for 19 years and Dwight has been a professional photographer for over 20 years.

As much as we enjoyed our professions after all those years we felt it was time to move in a different direction and remembered NB with fond memories - after all, it was where our first son was born (we also had a daughter in Manitoba and one in BC and now have 7 adorable grandchildren). The more relaxed Maritime lifestyle, the friendliness of the people, the heritage features, and all the antiques drew us to Saint John.

We enjoy entertaining and so were very excited to be able to purchase an established B&B in the Uptown Saint John area, especially one steeped in such rich history that is rarely found in BC.

We are already enjoying the many stories of our guests and residents and invite you to a comfortable room and cheery breakfast where we hope to hear many more.

"Everything you need in a B&B. The hosts went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable. The internet connection didn't work well in our room in the Carriage house, but that's okay, you have the key to the main house with access to the basement area that is furnished with comfy couches etc. Our room had a small kitchenette, tv, a comfortable clean bed & it was quiet.

Cheryl made us wonderful breakfasts, tailored to our diet & Dwight made sure that we always had a full cup of coffee.
The price was very reasonable especially for the location, walking distance to downtown St John. If we ever go back to St John, this will be the place to stay. "

"A mother and daughter, we were kindly greeted upon arrival by the young manager and were accommodated most splendidly. We enjoyed the breakfast and beautifully decorated rooms. The b&b is conveniently located near the heart of St. John. We walked to all the places of interest and dined at a Taste of Egypt, a restaurant not recommended in the guestbook, but still one we suggest trying."

"We felt wonderfully pampered and well-taken care of here and the location was great. 5 minutes drive and we were downtown. We probably could have walked in 15 minutes but it was very cold.

The wifi was good, beds comfortable, and other guests were nice.
Bottom line: A great B&B experience with wonderfully helpful hosts and at a decent price too. We will definitely be coming back when we are next in New Brunswick. "
