First Pond Tours

Spectacular breakfast delivered to your door, eggs benny would rival that of a top tier breakfast spot. Omelette was delicious as well, really looked forward to being surprised with whatever was on the menu for the morning feed. Hot tub is a nice thing to have after exploring on foot all day. Room had so much character and had way more space than we needed, having only used the fridge for dinner leftovers. Super close to a bus stop, which was handy as the airport ran out of rental cars somehow. Might suggest some clear identification for the hot tub jet switch, as it scared the crap out of my wife a couple times. Staff was always happy to help, checking in and out was seamless, as it should be. Would definitely reccommend leaside manor to anyone looking for something authentic and rustic for their stay in st johns

Bathroom door could use replacing, it was an effort to close it securely. The self-moistening toilet cycled for nearly an hour after flushing and was quite loud. Our room came with a complementary bottle of wine corked with no bottle opener provided. We called reception for a bottle opener and it took an hour to arrive, similarly for towels. Complementary breakfast was good but also a little lacklustre, very meat and potatoes. The stay was otherwise very clean, quiet, friendly staff. A short walk to downtown.

We stayed for 5 days and had a wonderful experience. The room was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. We had a lovely breakfast delivered to our door every morning and a Nespresso machine with infinite pods right in our room along with a selection of teas and an electric kettle. Michele and Simone ensured that every need we had was met. The property is located near several wonderful bakeries and the short, walk to downtown was lined with beautiful colorful Newfoundland homes. A serene scenic park was also located very close by. We would absolutely recommend this property and will definitely use it as our main stay for future visits.
