The cupboard above the stove in cabin 13 is falling down and needs attention. There's not enough comfortable seating in the living room for 4 people; there is room for at least one more comfortable chair other than the kitchen table chairs.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was clean, and beds comfy. Nice waterfront view, but 2 bird droppings on the windows could have been cleaned off, we were on the main floor. The pool was not ready to be used, which was a reason we chose this location. Food was just ok. We did the Westbrook Pond fjord tour, and a theatre night which were both so worth it, but should have stayed in Rocky Harbour instead.

We stayed here one night on our way to St. Anthony and L'anse aux Meadows. Our cabin was very clean and everything was in good working order; the cabin itself appeared to be very new. Owners and staff are friendly and helpful. It was the best accommodation we had on our NL visit. Cow Head is in a really nice coastal setting with a Clover Farm grocery store and a beautiful Parks Canada Beach a short drive away.
