This is a beautiful old house with a rich local history. Ask George to tell you about it. He is very knowledgeable. Lynn, his wife, is a top drawer chef. It was a wonderful surprise to find out, upon arrival, that we could eat a three course dinner at the B&B for a very reasonable set price. The value of... More

During our recent trip (September 2012) to the Avalon and Bona Vista Peninsulas, we stayed 2 days at Rothesay House in Harbour Grace which was a super location from which to visit (and photograph!!!!) Brigus, Cupids and travel north up the Baccalieu Trail. George and Lynn were super hosts and so helpful in recommending what to see and where to... More

Host George met me at the door and I felt instantly at home. Everything was good about it. George took my baggage to my room and I settled in easily. I... More

Lynn is a gourmet cook;... More

Our Newfandland Finale At the end of two weeks in Newfoundland this was a fitting finale! Upon arrival at this charming home George greeted us like cousins and settled us in.
