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.

Lovely, Positive, Friendly
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.
