Hawthorne Cottage National Historic Site Tours

We had a great stay in this lovely older building with lots of charm and character. The front room offered a partial view of the harbor—just a bit of pruning and it would be absolutely stunning. The space was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and we really appreciated the simple self check-in process. Staff were quick to respond via text, which made everything easy. There’s plenty of free street parking, and the location is convenient—just a short walk (uphill on the way back) from shops and restaurants downtown. While a Keurig-style coffee maker would be a nice touch, having the mini fridge was definitely appreciated. One note: there’s a park about a block away where we noticed some vagrant activity. Walking by felt a bit uncomfortable on a couple of occasions, but it didn’t impact our overall experience. Overall, a cozy, well-kept spot that made for a great visit! We loved Newfoundland!

The property was nice and renovated and clean but the value was very poor. There is little service, limited poor breakfast without choice, self serve coffee in the room only, terrible non absorbent towels, uncomfortable rough sheets. It was way overpriced for the quality of the stay. I am a well traveled person and I do not recommend this place to stay for the amount of the cost.

Shout out to your excellent staff! Breakfast was wonderful. Bed was comfy, but a little high.
