Our stay was wonderful. Tamara answered all questions before arriving and everything was provided for us upon arrival. The location was spectacular. Lovely to be back where I spent my early years and where my parents were born. Weather was fantastic!

A wonderful place!

The house was comfortable and very well equipped. It was wonderful to have home made bread, jams and all the necessaries for a morning meal. Good thinking, especially for the people who arrive later in the day.We loved Twillingate and the area. Maybe a few more suggestions about tours and restaurants.Thank you so much for contributing positively to our stay in your area.

Gem of a find in Twillingate

We absolutely loved our stay here at The Cove, Merchant’s Home. We stayed for two nights and the space lived up to the hype. Our hosts thought of everything and we appreciated the welcome treat. Such hospitality is hard to find on apps like this so we were thankful. Beds were comfy, shower and kitchen were great and you can’t beat the view of a quiet harbour. We even had the chance to sit out on the deck with a drink in the sun. Couldn’t recommend a better place to call home for a visit in Twillingate.

Great Location

House was as advertised . Pictures were true to the cottage. Home was well equipped ( could use lobster tools?We bought cooked fresh lobster from a place on the coast amazing. But it would have helped if there was some utensils to deal with it. that being said great spot. Could use an update but we knew what we were going to stay in . All great ,
