Maclellan Inn (Doyles, Codroy Valley, Newfoundland)

I arrived at the Maclellan Inn just after 11pm on a rainy and windy night. What I found was instantly soothing. A spacious and very nice comfortable room, with well-appointed bathroom.

During my two day stay, I came to realize how perfect the surroundings were and how conducive they were to disconnecting from daily stress. Lingering with a cup of breakfast tea on the rear balcony while gazing on mountains and water was a great way to start the day.

Similarly, after a full day of touring and visiting, I found that unwinding and listening to music in the comfortable living room area while looking out through panoramic windows was also very soothing. Very much in keeping with the essence of a vacation, that is, to allow to disconnect from daily stress and pressures.

In the basement, I found a quiet and comfortable den. There is a computer with internet hook-up available for the asking. In addition, there is an adjacent room that offers plenty of space to allow looking after travel gear etc.

The Maclellan Inn is ideally situated, overlooking the banks of the Grand Codroy River. This makes it ideal for activities including hiking, canoeing, and kayaking.

I found my stay there to be quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. Very similar to my experience of the Codroy Valley.

Summary: A nice place to unwind for a spell.
