Hostess was knowledgeable about the area and readily gave us local info on places to eat and visit.
The Sleeping Swan is an exceptional B&B. So much attention is paid to every detail: decor, cleanliness and amenities. The rooms are beautiful, extremely comfortable and include everything you can possibly need and more. The breakfasts are amazing and the host, Tammy is warm, welcoming and attentive. Thank you for a memorable stay! Louise and Anna
The host was just wonderful and we could have chatted all night! The breakfast was spectacular and seemed to go on forever, just delicious. My room was decorated beautifully and it was very comfortable. It was 5* all the way.
Quite simply, this was the best stay in any hotel or accommodation for this price range- by far. Tammy is wonderfully accommodating and entertaining. We literally awoke to the smell of bread baking downstairs. The whole stay was precious, and became a defining memory of an otherwise utilitarian journey to Newfoundland.
