This is a lovely family-run inn and restaurant, and the staff could not be nicer. It is very convenient to Mistaken Point. The rooms are very well maintained and very clean, although not very large.

We had booked two king rooms on booking.com, but were told upon arrival that only one king and one queen were available. The staff said this was a booking.com issue of incorrect description -- we had reserved the only two sea-view rooms, yet there is a king in only one of those. We found the restaurant service to be lovely, but the food was only fair. The chowder we had was thin and watery, and much of the food was under-seasoned. This is the only place in the area to eat dinner.

This is a very popular spot and for good reason. The restaurant is always busy because the food is so good. I had a fresh lobster. The room was very comfortable and the staff went out of their way to make our stay rewarding. Janet, our waitress, was very attentive and gave us directions to a great little site up ahead. At the back of the property there's a beautiful little garden in which you can sit and in the morning there's a delicious continental breakfast. I would have no hesitation in recommending this inn.

Having spent so much time in St John's area, we arrived to check in at 9pm but were greeted graciously and though the restaurant closed at 9, they prepared us delicious sandwiches and salad.Very friendly, kind staff. Our room was comfortable, nice shower, space for luggage. We ate at the restaurant twice during our 2 nights stay and it was always good. The second night we were invited for a festive "Schreeching In" ceremony! Very fun and memorable but we are still waiting for the video the owner promised to email us... We were a short drive from St Vincent's Beach where lots of whales were spotted. Also, only a short drive from Mistaken Point for the Guided Fossils hike

Every time someone entered or left the building, our door would shake and rattle. Also, sounds of others in the hallway were disruptive late in the evening.

We were upgraded to the Chalet, possibly due to a bus tour in town. Amazing, beautiful house with fantastic water views. Can not speak more highly of the facilities - everything you would hope for and more. But even more wonderful were the 'people' at the reception/restaurant/bar. The host, staff and entertainer (and their families) were all extremely welcoming, warm, friendly and genuine. Truly beautiful Newfy people who make this Irish Loop a joy.

The night finished too early 🤣

Staff was amazingly friendly. I told them I was going to check out early and they even made a breakfast basket. Location was convenient. The Inn had great food. Room was very clean and had hardwood floors.

Discolored water. It's been a long standing issue of the surrounding area for at least several years. They provide water to drink (2 bottles that get changed each day) . The water looks brownish due to the tannins. Eventually I mustered up the courage to shower in it and all was fine. They have a water cooler nearby to refill water but when I used it it was empty. The door sizings are a bit off (maybe due to the weather and expansion of the wood) but after putting extra pressure to close it it would make a loud slamming noise. Maybe noise dampeners for under the door would help due to the noise from the hallway.

I was impressed by the outdoor garden in the back and outdoor social/entertainment area when we first entered as it was pretty and not something that I had seen at any other hotel on this 15-day trip. The inside and outside of this hotel is really elegant and artistic and would be right at home in Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto, or the Muskokas. It is an aesthetically beautiful boutique hotel that has a hip lower town Quebec city gallery feel to its interior it but with an unmistakeable warmth that you rarely find anywhere in the world. I have travelled to 24 countries and extensively in Eastern Canada and can only think of a few hotels where the service was this great and made this much of an impression. What truly shines are the people that work there. Staff were beyond outstanding, wear multiple hats and you could see and truly feel that they work hard to make this a special and personable stay! This is a great hotel for anyone travelling as the staff went above and beyond to help our young family. Incredibly kind and helpful to us and our children. Easily the kindest staff we met on a 15-day journey and so helpful. We only stayed one night and immediately we felt like we were staying at a hotel belonging to good friends that we hadn't seen in a long time - the staff and locals were so welcoming and personable. An extremely kind local gentleman even offered and gave us a ride to the beach when my young son and I were walking around and exploring the town. The real jewel in the crown of this hotel is a lovely staff member named Colleen. Colleen was so patient and loving to listen to our children's stories, have warm and entertaining conversations with them and accomodate them/us whenever we had a question...and we had many. She is a true gem of a person and embodies the genuine warmth, personal connection and hospitality of Newfoundland. My kids are still talking about her! Thank you for helping us to end off this trip on a high note!

Nothing. This was the best hotel stay on the entire trip (15 hotels/days) and easily one of the best hotel stays that I have ever had.

everything was great - the entire staff was friendly, even the owner asked us multiple times if we were satisfied, and everyone took time to chat with us as if we were old friends; the continental breakfast (included) was quite good; large room with fridge and coffee/tea facilities; extremely clean; rooms serviced daily; nice restaurant on site with tasty traditional Newfoundland fare; we got lucky and enjoyed free Saturday night entertainment during dinner; super quiet; at night; great place to stay if you plan on taking the Mistaken Point fossil hike and/or want to visit nearby Cape Race

there was nothing not to like - after two days there the place felt like home due to the friendly ambience created by the staff and owner. Thank you John and crew!

The room was great. Large size, nice bathroom, comfy beds.

A couple of small problems with the meals. For the price the seafood fettuccine was very water. The continental breakfast was ok but for the price they should have a properly working toaster. Watching people struggle with two of the burners in a four slice toaster is a joke.

wonderful location, helpful friendly staff, comfortable and clean, great restaurant, locally made crafts and lighthouses, gave us picnic breakfast for early am checkout

our room had a window hinge that kept flapping at night and couldn't close properly, would really have liked a ceiling fan for night

The hotel was spotless, up-to-date, and spacious. The staff made us feel so welcome, and did many extra little things for us. I especially want to thank you for the garden behind the hotel, where I enjoyed a couple of peaceful hours in an Adirondack chair, enjoying the view. What an exceptional experience! And of course, perfectly located for the Mistaken Point experience the next day.

The meals were delicious and a gluten-free meal was possible - it would be nice to have gluten-free items at the breakfast as well.
