We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at Peg's Place. We had a room just off the side of the building,with a small verandah, for ease of baggage. The room was definitely snug, but clean as a whistle with everything you need. It was a real pleasure to sit and chat with Eileen over breakfast, she is a great resource for local information around Fogo. Check in and check out was easy, lots of parking.
We stayed at Peg’s for 4 nights in late August and truly enjoyed our experience. Eileen (the proprietor) gave us all the tips on local sights and activities, and insights into the history and politics of the Island. The B&B was very cute and well maintained, with good wifi. Breakfast was delicious (we couldn’t get enough of her homemade bread and jams!). The location was superb in the town of Fogo, close to great hikes and restaurants, and a short 15min drive from almost everything we wanted to do in nearby towns. Would definitely stay here again!
We arrived on a rainy day and stayed 2 nights in this lovely bed and breakfast in the picturesque town of Fogo. The town had more amenities than most towns on Fogo Island and everything worth seeing and experiencing on the island is a short distance away!! We walked the stunningly beautiful Fogo Island trail and stopped for a couple of afternoon drinks at the world renowned Fogo island inn. Had great Chinese food?? An unexpected find!! And the lightest crispiest battered fish and chips at the Beaches bar - unfortunately I too late in the season for the traditional live music!!
Eileen was a wonderful host providing an excellent breakfast with homemade preserves and freshly picked blueberries!! A very memorable visit!!
The owners of Peg's Place are very knowledgeable about the area and offered great tips about what to see and do. We were there for the Brimstone Head Folk Festival and they really helped us out in terms of navigating the event. The breakfasts each morning were fantastic with homemade bread and jams. We were treated with patience and kindness from our first hello to our final goodbye. We will never forget our wonderful stay there! Beth J.
A great spot in Fogo! Eileen is a wonderful host with lots of local knowledge and suggestions. She takes an interest in her guests and obviously enjoys offering warm hospitality. Breakfast was delicious - especially the home-made bread (she baked it daily... the aroma was as delightful as the finished product.) Our room was not large but beds were comfortable and room/ensuite very clean. Lovely time spent on front porch in the evenings.
