Although on a bust street, very quiet at night. Comfortable bed and VERY clean. Breakfast was fabulous, many choices, all homemade. Friendly owners, helpful and very pleasant
The historic factor was the biggest draw for us. The room was nice. Breakfast was excellent.

Thank you Rebecca for your kind words, glad you enjoyed your stay and the breakfast.
Good day VictorSorry that there wasn't many restaurants open in the area, I can't control that. I make sure you have a good breakfast and a comfortable bed to sleep in.
This is a heritage home with lovely antiques mixed in with modern conveniences. The hosts are very friendly and offer great advice about local interests and restaurants. Breakfast was great.

The hosts were wonderful, and they clearly take great care of their Heritage building. Excellent breakfast, and great recommendations for what to do while visiting the area.
Beautiful heritage home with wonderful hosts Greg and Lorraine. Such warm Newfoundland hospitality, delicious cooked breakfasts, and great knowledge and recommendations on what to see and do in the area. I was sad to leave and will definitely come back to stay here again. Highly recommend!

Hello anonymous, glad you enjoyed your stay and we always try our best to get the great food to the table in a timely fashion so our guests can get out and start enjoying all the wonderful things to see and do.
This is a building 120years. The owner takes care it very well. The bedroom is narrow long shape and clean. Breakfast is nice and cook by your order.
We like the room and will be back.

The owners were very friendly and informative, and served a warm delicious breakfast. The facilities were good and this property has a lot of character. It is close to a road, making it a bit noisy at night.

Terrific warm welcome from the hosts who were full of helpful information on where to go and what to see. The room was a bit of a disappointment. A little tight, and tired and lots of highway noise. The building has heritage restrictions which limit what they can do with it and they can't do anything about the traffic. They do put on a hearty breakfast though.

Hello anonymous. The room you stayed in can seem tight and travelers these days want the queen beds, seating areas, flat screen tvs, air conditioning, luggage racks, dressers, private en suite bath, and etc... etc... So as hosts when we try to turn a bedroom into a hotel room things get tight. If the amnesties were not there we get complaints about that, a catch 22. The traffic noise I believe I am going to try interior Plexiglas inserts and see how that works. Glad you enjoyed your stay and sorry you were disappointed in your room. Thanks for the feedback.
This B&B is 1 hour drive from St. Johns and within 2 hours of most of the Avalon region. Greg and Loraine are excellent hosts and they are great sources of information about surrounding attractions. They also provide a delicious choice of breakfast items and pleasant conversation to start the day of right.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Breakfast time is our favorite time and as you experienced we love to feed our guests a nice fresh hot breakfast. Enjoy the rest of your visit to Newfoundland
We stayed in many wonderful locales during our three weeks in NF, and the Spaniards House was our favourite. The historic home is lovely. We had the third floor rooms that were comfortable and very clean. The owners are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. They helped us plan when we were trekking out each day to see the sights. We also enjoyed an incredible lobster and crab dinner available at the B&B. I highly recommend this when you stay. It is obvious the owners take pride in the Spaniards House.

Hello Annette. Many thanks for the many kind words and as travel magazines have rated us in the top destinations in NL we are glad you feel the same. We love to cook and being raised and from NL it provides the opportunity to access fresh local seafood from the fisherman we have made friends with over the years. We also very glad you are appreciative of our extensive knowledge of the Baccalieu trail and the island as a whole. Have a great vacation and hope to see gain sometime.
Lorraine, the owner was very friendly and helpful.
We were very happy about our experience here !!! Beautiful house !!! What a treasure !!!!! We really enjoyed her conversations and hearing about her experiences around Newfoundland.

Lovely B&B. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Room was a bit warm but fans cooled it off nicely. Breakfast was homemade and delicious. Best pancakes ever. Room was clean and comfortable.

Hello and thank you for staying with us. Glad the fan worked for you on one of the 4 days we get each year over 25, lol. Many guests comment on the delicious full menu breakfast we provide and of course pancakes being the top of the list. We certainly pass on the message to the student we provided a job for that she is doing a good job. Hope the rest of your stay in NL was excellent and please come back again sometime.
wonderful, informative staff. They prepared a delicious cod dinner for us on our last night and we had a wonderful discussion about Newfoundland history.
We had a wonderful evening in this lovely heritage home. Our hosts were gracious and shared their extensive knowledge of the area with us. They even gave us some freshly caught cod to take with us to cook up for lunch the next day. It was as wonderful as they promised. We loved their restaurant recommendation in Twillingate as well. If/when we return to Newfoundland we will definitely stay there again. Thanks for a fabulous, made-to-order breakfast - best pancakes ever!
