Excellent location
The only suggestion I have is that the kitchen exhaust fan needs to be vented to the exterior. Cooking smells occasionally permeated the interior.

Wonderful Twillingate
The property was absolutely outstanding although a little hard to find! We drove right by it the first time. It was well worth the time looking for it!

Twillingate gem
We stayed for a week early August and absolutely loved the place and location. The house itself is adorable and retaining its historical charm with modern amenities. Spotlessly clean, spacious, very comfortable (especially the beds)! We felt right at home, and especially loved the daily visits from the neighbourhood cat Taz - what a doll! Close to the water and several hiking trails - we did a trail everyday. Did a whale watching boat tour (Ocean Quest), browsed local shops, visited Fargo Island and enjoyed a birthday dinner at Georgie’s. Wonderful vacation and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!!

Lovely location!
The biggest problem was that we only could enjoy the property for one night. Simply not long enough to get comfortable and settle in to take in all that Twillingate offers. Hopefully we can return for a longer visit. It's a beautiful old property well looked after and clean.

Great House for two couples
The house was central to all the excursions, hiking and things we wanted to do. It had a great view. If you have trouble with stairs this might not be the place for you but otherwise everything was great. We highly recommend this house.

A dream cottage by the sea!
We had a wonderful experience in Twillingate. This beautiful cottage lived fully up to our expectations. The view from the veranda was picture perfect and the feline visitor made us feel right at home. Walk to all that Twillingate had to offer. We had a slight issue with the appliances but were able to work it through. All in all, a perfect visit.
