The cottage was really cute and comfortable. Looked freshly decorated and clean. It even had tea, coffee, sugar, creamer, oil and spices so we didn't have to load up on that. The location is absolutely charming.

The Nest is a fully-equipped beautiful cottage in a very quiet area not far from the main road. The interior of the cottage is very cosy and there is a large private deck over-looking the yard.

Cozy Nest

We had a very nice stay at the Nest. It is in a very quiet location close to some very good hiking trails. The picturesque town of Trinity is close. It has a nice restaurant and good ice cream shop.

Inside property was clean and well decorated. It is a very quiet area. Water system was weak, deck view was not as advertised, cafeteria nearby was closed for the season, it was necessary to drive to neighboring area for dining and groceries. Not walking distance to services. The yard grass and shrubery were unkept. It was overpriced compared to value of other properties around. I would not recommend this property.
View of harbour from deck. Deck is hiding behind other properties.

The perfect little escape on our Newfoundland honeymoon. Super close to Skerwink Trail and Port Rexton. We went to Two Whales Coffee twice during our stay and ended up at Port Rexton Brewing during trivia night. Everyone in this community is so nice and the scenery around the town is breathtaking. Got the best sleep of our trip at this place. A couple of things to know:-Several gas stations before and after the road for this stay-Grocery stores have limited hours -Driveway and some town roads are gravel
