The restaurant was closed and it appeared there was water gushing from a basement window. The room was fine. The bed was comfortable which is what we wanted.

We stayed here for 2 days. The property was clean, as was the room. Everything seamed a little damp, probably because it was right on the water. It was ok as a place for a quick stop for a night.

Kow’s Inn was everything we needed for a night’s stay before the ferry to Newfoundland. The room was spacious and very clean. Bed was comfy. We had very tasty burgers from the restaurant.
