Allen and the other staff were great! It is a 1880 Mansion with 8 guest rooms and impeccably restored/maintained filled with antiques, just very relaxing. I would highly recommend for its charm, location and staff.…

Zentral gelegen, freundliches Personal, manchmal etwas gebrochener Englisch sprechend, aber insgesamt alles in Ordnung. Fenster müsste. Mal wieder geputzt werden ob manchen Appartments.

Groszügiges Bijou in St. James. Sehr schöner Strand zwar über die Strasse aber angenehm nah.

Questions about St James Guesthouses

What time is check-in and check-out at St James Guesthouses?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does St James Guesthouses allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at St James Guesthouses?

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

Does St James Guesthouses have a pool?

Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Does St James Guesthouses have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does St James Guesthouses have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book St James Guesthouses?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
