Great introduction to Newfoundland B&Bs and to NFL hospitality. Will type more here later - all good.
I would recommend this B&B to anyone that is not into upscale motels or destination resorts of a similar nature. To me this is easily a four star location - not because of the swimming pools, room service, golf courses, (non-existent) but because of the cleanliness, homeyness, and removal from the sounds of traffic and bustle of built up areas and with a host - Margo - that was friendly, charming and the sort of person that one could easily become good friends with. We choose the suite which had a full bath, bedroom, and setting room with great furnishings and there was an adjoining room where the other guests and yourself could mingle together if they wished along with a lovely kitchen where tea and coffee were ready to make. An evening home cooked meal was available for a small extra fee - much cheaper than eating out - and the breakfast part of the B&B the following morning was really great. This all - including the evening meal - would come in at less expense than a single room stay in the most modest of motels. Another reviewer that I read before we decided on this location also gave four stars and their only misgiving was that for some people the drive off the main highway was some where in the neighborhood of 18 kilometers of sometimes patchy road. I think that for him, as it were for my wife and I, that it was an interesting drive where the off main route gave one a feeling for the everyday life in this area. Also the drive along the shore to get there was stunning in places. My next posting will show a photo or two of the shore we drove along. (and although in the normal course of blogging I tend to skip about in time and place - for this Newfoundland portion of the blog I will try to give any potential traveler a consistent look at each stopping place).
