About this property

The Tickle Inn Saltbox by the Sea

Welcome to the Tickle Inn! This beautiful 200 year old salt box is located Oceanside in the hamlet of Champney’s West in beautiful Trinity Bay, where you can still find real adventure and total escape. Newly renovated to look how the home would have, crooked floors and all, but with all the conveniences of today.

Offering 1550 square feet of comfort, our three bedroom family cottage is beautifully decorated and includes a fully equipped kitchen, open concept living/dining area with decorative old fashioned wood burning cook stove, ensuite washing machine/dryer and 2 full bathrooms. The master bedroom has queen size bed, queen size bed in the second bedroom, and a twin over double bunk in the third bedroom. All bedrooms curated with local pieces which give the home a truly “Newfoundland” feel combined with spacious living room and dining room make this the perfect size cottage for a large family or group of seven. The bedroom quilts were made for me personally by my wonderful extremely talented Aunt Margaret!

Located within steps of the wharf, aquarium, playground, and hall. There’s a local craft shop and also on the Fox Island Trail. A few minutes drive to Port Rexton Brewery, as well as legendary Skerwink Trail.

It was a beautiful location. It had a lovely deck to sit on. It was cute inside. We had five people staying there so a little tight. The walls were paper thin and floors a little creaky so you could hear everything at all times. I would recommend bringing drinking water and ice as the water was brown in colour so were the ice cubes in the freezer. Overall we still had a great time.

The Tickle Inn was just perfect! So cute, so comfortably set up, and immaculately clean. We enjoyed the deck, and we loved the view across the harbour. We just wish we could have stayed longer!

This place is a.perfect place, central and quiet with all the amenities. We used it as a base to explore this part of the island and only wish we could have stayed longer. The place is newly renovated historic building that maintains all the charm. Beautiful sun sets on the deck with lots of birds, aneighbourhood cat and a fox that came by. We definately recommend this place.

We had a lovely stay at Tickle Inn Saltbox by the Sea in Champneys West, Bonavista Peninsula, Newfoundland. This old traditional Newfoundland house has been redone with all modern amenities but left the character and charm of the crooked and creaky floors and natural wood walls. Beautiful deck facing south overlooking an inlet. Even a little fox came to visit. So peaceful and quiet but close to the charming village of Trinity and the renowned Port Rexton Brewing.

The tickle box property was very clean. We had an unfortunate issue with the bathrooms. The flushing handles weren’t working and a very strong cleaning agent had been used. The area is very cute and the host was very responsive.

Great Stay!

Despite the wetter-than-average weather, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We've always loved hiking the Fox Island trail, and it was wonderful being able to do it right from our doorstep! The property was charming and on the few nice days we had during our one week stay, took advantage of the deck. Looking forward to returning!

Cottage in quaint fishing village

Small cottage, which has been restored with modern appliances and living space. The floors are somewhat uneven, and the rooms are small, yet it tightly held our family of 6. Guests need to bring their own soap and shampoos for the bathrooms. Easy access to hiking and has a wonderful view of the harbor.

Great stay in this rustic fisherman’s cottage located right on the bay in champneys west. Convenient to trinity and bonavista. Would have loved to have stayed for more than 4 nights, but the remainder of the island was calling! Simply charming.

Lovely salt box on the water in Champney’s West. Great trails nearby, peaceful, with lots of whales past English Harbour. The house was exactly as described, and the owner was quick to respond to our very few glitches. We’ll be back!
