Bed and Breakfast in Grates Cove

"Access to the property involves driving on a deeply rutted, rocked filled, gravel road for approximately 5 km. It took more than 20 minutes to drive 5 km because of the terrible road condition. We were given inadequate instructions to enter the property using a key code. The house is smaller than expected and lacked kitchen essentials such as butter, cooking oil, cutting boards, water pitcher etc. The tap water stank of sulphur, so we had to boil the water to get rid of the smell so we could drink it. It smelled so bad, we were unable to take showers. There were dvds available to view, but no cable or satellite tv. The towels were stained, the kitchen tap was loose, the countertops were stained. The view of the cove was beautiful. The trail to Grates cove is not worth doing. The skerwink trail is beautiful, but you do have to drive 4 km back down on the awful gravel road to reach it. Make sure you bring Al, the food you need."

"Excellent property. We were very fortunate to get it last minute. Hiking was closed in Gros Morne NP so we decided to go see the puffins. This was the only property available. When we arrived the three lady travellers I was with all exclaimed how great a job I did picking the property. I told them it was my first choice of exactly one choices LOL. The property is new and well equipped. The layout was excellent and the views stunning. Good parking access. WiFi worked very well. Communication was good. No problems overall. Highly recommended."
