We love staying in older homes that have been made into B&B. The wood work, rooms and history are always an interesting combination. We stayed in Nicole Adrienne's guest room. and were pleased with the furnishings and linens. They also have a cozy resturant in the old dinning room. We splurged and had the pork tenderloin with homemade rubarb chutney.... More

Wanted a short getaway to celebrate a birthday milestone! We had stayed at this B&B a few years ago and really enjoyed the old (but not rundown) house and the meal served at the on site restaurant. So we thought to pay a return visit. We weren't disappointed! We stayed in the Tara Jean room, a large beautiful room with... More

Our room was clean and comfortable. However we had to use the window fan to,get cool as the room was not air conditioned. Our disappointment was with the breakfast. It was very uninteresting based on the other places we have stayed. We were offered the same thing two days in a row. Others were offered the same menu three days.... More

We stayed at Sophia's for 2 nights and used it as our base for exploring the Baccalieu Trail (Heart's Content, Grate's Cove, Winterton) Beautiful well kept, clean inn. Friendly helpful staff. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Great bed! Breakfasts were filling and delicious. We had our dinner there one of our nights and it was EXCELLENT.

This inn was a great find in the town of Carbonear. The beautiful historic house had all of the comforts of home. Jennifer was very friendly and provided us with information about the area. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. In the morning we were treated with the most delicious berry pancakes I have ever tasted!... More

The room was small but nice. We needed the window fan to cool off. The owner was around only when checking in or out and at breakfast time. We were hoping to get some area history and lore from the owner. The breakfast was very tasty, what there was of it. I can usually eat more than two pancakes. A... More

The warm reception upon arrival set the stage for a pleasant stay. The heritage inn designation is appropriate as the common areas and rooms are period themed,spotless and comfortable. The staff are very knowledgeable regarding local attractions and hiking trails in the general area. The breakfasts provided are well balanced and evening meals when available are superior.

An excellent B&B. Unfortunately all the large rooms were booked, so we had to settle for a smaller room at the back. But the real attraction here is the food. We had both dinner and breakfast, and they were probably the best meals we have ever had at a B&B. The partridgeberry pancakes at breakfast were absolutely delicious. Jennifer serves... More
