This was our first trip to Newfoundland and this lovely biscuit box home with its great location, amazing views, abundant hiking trails, the friendly people we encountered and the beach combing exactly fit the experience we had been hoping for. We felt at home the moment we first walked through the door. The well-stocked kitchen had everything we needed including extras such as plastic wrap, spices, condiments (mustard, ketchup, Miracle Whip, peanut butter and jam). The barbecue was convenient and easy to use. Excellent drinking water comes directly from the kitchen tap! Also, having a stocked laundry room and bathroom (shampoos, conditioners, soaps, and extra personal items to use "just in case") was very much appreciated.
If one is not familiar with the charming and traditional biscuit box or saltbox homes, the low ceilings and windows, especially on the upper level, might be a bit of a surprise. We are both under 6 feet tall, so these were quaint features which we found amusing.
We also felt that the cottage was an easy 1.5 hour drive to North Atlantic Ziplines in Petty Harbour to have our very first zip lining experience. We're not getting any younger; this was the time to do it!! It was a lot of fun. Research the company beforehand to get the particulars.
Homeowner Linda was a dream to communicate with. Right from our initial contact, she promptly and thoroughly answered and initiated emails and text messages. Linda is a very personable, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating woman who obviously loves her summer home. Thank you, Linda, for everything you did to make our trip enjoyable and trouble-free!! Wish we could have met you in person.
