We were thankful all of the beds for our party of 6. The place was clean and spacious. Appreciated the full kitchen, two bathrooms, spring water and laundry available (didnât use). Beautiful view, saw jellyfish in the water. The decor makes you think about the past and how people used to live but also how to upcycle âoldâ furniture. Nice, comfortable stay, thank you!
We see the potential of this property and some of the work that has already been done, and we are all for its unique historical feel and location, which seep in with time. But the opinion of this family of five is that this property is currently not suitable for renting. Picture this: your 9 year old son excitedly runs in first and then you hear him scream: Dad, there are flies like crazy in the bathroom. Indeed, when I joined him, I chucked about 15 dead ones. Then, my wife reacts to the incredibly musty smell from the old furniture, wonderfully antique furniture nonetheless. But we cannot open the windows because they have no screens and four of them have big cracks, not instilling a sense of security or aesthetics. Then, these problems are complemented by air conditioning units that are as loud as an aircraft and kitchen appliances that seem to be from the 1970s. They could easily be replaced by a visit to Canadian Tire. In other words, in contrast to our previous accommodations in NL, there is a distinct lack of investment, care and hygiene in this property. We don't have the space to elaborate. I have travelled all over the world (almost), and dirt, flies, window cracks, and cheap appliances are a turn off in any country, let alone one in the first world.
Beautiful setting with ocean views all around! Watched the tides, boats, fog rolling in and out and enjoyed the heritage home and antique and luxury furnishings. A pretty quiet outport with history. Comfortable beds and all the conveniences needed in the kitchen. Nice to have the shower/tub in the upstairs bathroom and freestanding tub in quirky main floor bathroom with an old organ as a vanity. Was a great place to hang out about 20 - 30 minutes to hiking tails and museums in Twillingate area.
