Great pool and jacuzzi experience
My son and I enjoyed our trip to Cow Head. The people were very friendly and although the motel is a little older, we enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi being outside and we were able to have a good view of the natural water. It made for an awesome swim and relaxing moment..

Perfect retreat
We rented a cottage which was perfect for me and my husband and 2 daschunds. It was clean, comfortable bed, and perfect location for going to the greater north peninsula and to the south to fully explore Gros Morne National Park. The kitchenette is adequate but not terribly well equipped if you’re cooking yourself.
