The Montague Rose Inn & Cafe

The Montague Rose is well localed just a few streets from Water Street. We parked at the AirBnB and walked down to the main street. Upon arrival we were greeted by the host. We were in the Verona Room on the main floor. The room and bathroom were perfect for our one night stay. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had lots of hot water.

We had a very quick overnight stay in mid September on our way back from PEI. We called at the last moment looking for a room for us and our dog. They were very accommodating to us, we stayed in the last room available, the montage room, which was spacious and very comfortable. There was a small fridge and a luring coffee maker in our room with bottled water and a plate of snacks also available. In the main room downstairs of the inn was also a microwave, if needed. Check in was simple and over the phone, though we did meet Mike. Saint Andrew’s is a lovely town, a wonderful main st and lots of other things to see and do. We only spent the night here but will hopefully comeback to spend a few more nights in the future and would definitely recommend staying here.

A wonderful old bankers mansion built in the mid 19th century. Clean enormous rooms, well appointed and very close to the main street of St. Andrews. The proprietors Ben and Zainub are very helpful in providing all you need at the inn as well as information about the town. That they accept pets was a major plus as we often travel with or lab retriever Beau. He was most welcome at the inn as well as in many places in town. St. Andrews is one of the most dog friendly places we've been to. Two minor drawbacks - the bathroom for our room was separate (in the hallway next door), but was ours exclusively, was spotless and nicely decorated. All other rooms had ensuite bathrooms. Secondly, no breakfast, not a big deal. Coffee was provided in the room which for us, was all we needed. The room also had a fridge - very handy.

In a last minute and serendipitous change of plans we found ourselves booking an overnight stay at the Montague Rose Inn, and we were so glad we did! Ben and Zainub were welcoming and ready for us with a comfortable room, great local recommendations, an outdoor seating area complete with a visit from some local does and their fawns, and a delicious breakfast in the tea room. Romantic and homey, we stayed in the Romeo room which had a comfortable bed, wireless charger, fridge, coffee maker and private bath. It was a memorable stay and we will be back!

Truly the best accommodation we could’ve imagined for our wedding. We rented the entire home for 2 nights, bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready in, it was perfect. Zainub and Ben are the best host! The Tea Room was a perfect space for all of the bridesmaids to get ready in, and the groomsmen’s had lots of space to use the other shared area, patio, and to play some lawn games. They went above and beyond all of our expectations as hosts and made for a very enjoyable wedding weekend. All of the rooms are gorgeous, lots of space, and very unique! Would highly recommend tk anyone for a weekend away, wedding/event space.

We stayed two nights in this gem of a house. Zainub and Ben were wonderful hosts and made our stay so comfortable. The accommodation was fabulous and the breakfast was delicious. The sight of deer in the garden was amazing. We would highly recommend a stay here if you are visiting the St Andrews area. Paddy & Susan (Ireland).

Zainab and Ben are the most delightful hosts! Putting their hearts into their newly acquired business (a year old now) they have done beautiful renovations to the rooms and are quickly adding decks, patio and planning more gardens for the property. Their attention to detail is outstanding. Their friendliness is infectious, exactly what a traveler appreciates in a holiday spot. The comfortable bedrooms with en suites are beautifully renovated and the main floor sitting room and breakfast room are inviting. Breakfast is substantial - eggs, cheese, croissant, orange juice, coffee, yogurt and fruit. Inclusion of gifts items for sale by local artisans is quickly making them a welcome part of their chosen community. A delightful experience from arrival to departure!

The Montague Rose dates from 1859 and has been lovingly restored into a lovely and inviting B & B by hosts Zainub and Ben. We only stayed one relaxing evening and in the midst of Covid our hosts found the time to have breakfast - a delightful breakfast at that! - with us the next morning. The Montague Rose also hosts an afternoon proper English tea with scones, etc., something we simply didn't have the time to pursue. St. Andrews is a beautiful idyllic seaside town just inside the Canadian/US border on Passamaquoddy Bay - and offers many dining and quality shopping opportunities.

We had a wonderful stay at the Montague Rose! The Capulet Suite was absolutely beautiful. Easily within walking distance to restaurants and shops. And they serve an amazing breakfast! Can’t wait to go back!
