ABOUT US

Beach House Bed & Breakfast is an English owned and run countryside home situated on the beautiful Kingston Peninsula in New Brunswick, Canada.

It's a remarkable place - your home away from home where you'll wish you could stay forever!

Here, you can relax in the peaceful ambience of a rural setting with spectacular views of the Belleisle Bay and St. John River. It's where you can forget about work and stress as you paddle along the beautiful Kingston Creek. It's where your cares are left behind as you cycle our rural roads. And it's all within a short distance of the City of Saint John, New Brunswick. And out of the fog belt that often hugs the Bay of Fundy!

Beach House Bed & Breakfast is located on a hillside overlooking Kingston Creek and Shampers Bluff (a private conservation area donated to the government of New Brunswick by famed photographer, Freeman Patterson). From our home, you can't escape the spectacular scenery of the Belleisle.

But you CAN:

  • wake to the sound of birds singing outside your window;
  • walk in blueberry fields;
  • watch the sunset colour the sky and water with lavender, peach, red and pink;
  • roast marshmallows over a crackling campfire;
  • laugh at the excitement of a flock of chickens discovering a tasty treat in the meadow;
  • escape from the fog, damp and cooler summer temperatures of the Bay of Fundy;
  • take a leisurely stroll down country lanes;
  • play badminton, horseshoes, fly a kite - or just laze around in the hammock;
  • look up from reading a book to rest your eyes upon what most people consider one of the most spectacular views in the greater Saint John area.

YOUR HOSTS

Both of us (Tony and Glenise) are originally from Essex in the southeast of England. In 2001, an opportunity arose to move to New Brunswick. Jimbo and Scamp (the boys) were adopted from Battersea Dogs Home in London several years ago and there was no question that they would also become Canadians.

In the UK we lived in a rural area and commuted miles to work, so we were eager to find a similar ambiance within a reasonable distance to Saint John. Having seen the views, we settled upon this property fairly quickly!

Glenise is an avid cook who enjoys trying out all sorts of recipes. Get a taste of what we are like! Both Tony and Glenise are personable - you'll feel comfortable and at home right away.

The boys, of course, also have their own roles - Scamp is head of Bed and Breakfast Security and Officer on Watch; Jimbo is the Bed and Breakfast Welcoming Committee and Entertainment Officer (so long as he can find someone willing to play ball). He is also the Resident Escapologist - ever watchful for the opportunity to disappear into the woods, despite having a large secure garden to roam around in.

We are fortunate to have lived in other parts of the world such as the Middle East and India, and to have traveled extensively in Europe, Asia and Australia. You'll find our house full of arts and crafts brought back from our visits. In all our travels, we have enjoyed meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds, and sharing in their experiences.
