Was a well kept old historic home. Great base to travel to points of interest. Host guided us many a time on where to go and how to get there. Breakfast was just the way we do it at home. Host and hostess were so nice.

It was obvious the guest did not want to be at our property and kept to himself while all other guests mingled. He requested to cancel his 2nd nights stay which we obliged. Thus a subpar rating. Please!

I travel extensively, although I have not often stayed in a B&B. There was nothing that we did not like about our stay. George and Lynn were the finest hosts that we have had, EVER! The best sleep I have had while in Newfoundland By the time we left, we felt like we had been staying with my favorite aunt and uncle. A great memory!

We only stayed one night, but would've been happy to stay longer. The grand old house is lovely, and George and Lynn are the most gracious of hosts. We had a lovely evening chatting with them, and it felt like we became friends in a short time. We would not hesitate to stay here again, or recommend it to anyone.

Great location and fabulous views
The house is a beautifully restored Victorian that sits right on the harbor with a grand front porch to take in the views. All the rooms are spacious and immaculate. George and Lynn are so accomodating and helpful and she prepares the most delicious full breakfast in the morning! The only drawback was the bed which was a bit small for me and my husband who is a big guy. We're used to a king bed at home and this was a queen. In the grand scheme of things this place was a gem!

George and Lynn have an incredible house in a special location. The history of the area is amazing, and George will tell you all about it. It's the perfect launching point for a day of exploration on the peninsula. And Lynn's excellent breakfast sets you up for the adventure.

George and Lynn are fantastic hosts, and cooks and generally friendly warm people. If you stay try and get the room on the front which has a stellar view. But even if you don’t from the side rooms you can still hear the ocean and sea gulls.

The place is spotless and the food was very well prepared. It was so quiet at night you could hear yourself breathe. For a B&B this place is number one. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone looking for this type of accommodation.

Wonderful place to stay ....great view of the bay, wonderful service ....Proprietors George and Lynn were superbly attentive to all of our comfort needs. The inn is historic, beautifully maintained and like steeping back in time for me. Breakfast was excellent and beautifully served .....well done, folks. I would recommend this location to anyone. One note ....George wouldn't share their scallops ...:-)
