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

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.
