Detailed Reviews
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.

It was a pleasure to host Maurina who clearly appreciates our historic property and riverside location. She is the kind of guest that makes hosting worthwhile.

Our Host was a lovely man, and service staff were all very likeable, but in truth, the actual facility and the breakfast were mediocre at best. It has to be said, we were there in the off season, but the peeling paint on the exterior and the musty smell was off putting. Breakfast was not free and ingredients were all pretty well standard supermarket fare. But it has to be said the mishmash of antiques were quite astonishing and the history of the place is very interesting to learn about, and it does inspire a connection to the past that is fascinating. So we would recommend it for history buffs, as long as you are not put off by the faded glory of the place.

Thanks for the helpful feedback. We are pleased that there were no concerns with your room. Yes, our breakfast menu options are limited by the low volume of guests this time of year. However, we have do have other menu options which we would have offered if you had informed us that the offered menu was not to your liking. Also, there is a breakfast-included rate in the online booking service which some guests find more economical and suited to their needs. Your rate could be adjusted to the breakfast-included rate if you had informed me that this was a concern. Often, guests do not wish to purchase breakfast so we try to provide guests with the economical options they desire. Thanks for drawing our attention to the mustiness, which is only in part of the public area. This time of year, before spring cleaning and opening up to the spring air, it can become musty indoors. A 156 year-old building will be musty. Hearing from you on this encourages us to address the matter soonest. It is always difficult to make any property shine during the "mud" season, before spring clean-up. We are aware of the peeling paint and we have found that remedy is complex. The current "modern" siding will no longer hold paint and needs to be replaced. We have been researching period-appropriate exterior siding. We believe we have found a solution - actually suggested by one of our guests - and work will be started during the coming months. We are confident that guests will be positively impressed with the results that will be consistent with the building's historic designation. Again, as I requested on your checkout, we desire guest feedback. Your visit and feedback are much appreciated.

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

Thank you for your feedback which is appreciated. We are sorry for the misunderstanding about the breakfast. We do offer a hot breakfast option but it appears that we did not know that this is what you desired. The standard is the continental buffet but would have been happy to prepare a hot breakfast for you had we known. We are glad you appreciated the inn museum character of our property.

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!!

It is regretted that your stay during the pandemic and our renovations was disappointing. Yes, you did pick the wrong time to book. You were forewarned of the renovations and that the dining room is closed, yet you refused to accept this reality. Your room rate was discounted accordingly. Access to the guest rooms where work is ongoing was blocked and entirely safe . Common rooms are still accessible. Yes, as you wrote your conduct was confrontational from the outset and you could not be reasoned with. This is not consistent with the type of guests at our property. Most are interested in our historic restoration work.

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.

We had the pleasure of having our dream wedding here and also stayed 2 nights in the Governors room( spacious and beautiful). Mike, the owner was most gracious with all arrangements with our wedding and was most obliging with all the details we had asked for .Simone (staff) was most delightful to us and we enjoyed her company . We also purchased a 3 course dinner for 4 people and it was amazing!! We were treated like royalty and will be retuning for our anniversary .

Arrived here very late in the afternoon,tired from a 650kms trip of some very scenic travel.
The owner couldnt do enough to help us with our planned Irish Kitchen party music evening.
The morning breakfast was a very nice treat.The mansion is the original govenors house.,with all the rooms for the hired help.
We were given a very nice room on the top floor and every thing was clean and very comfortable.
Only had a night here but would of liked a couple more.,but needed to keep on the move.
The interior is filled with beautiful antique furniture.
A recommended stay if in this area.

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!

Thank you for your feedback which is appreciated. We are not sure why heating provision was never made for that room but it has now been rectified with installation of heating. We are glad that you appreciate the inn museum nature of our property.

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.!
