The yellow dory was a delightful poo lace to stay, it is two stories with steep stairs, but has solid railings, with a bathroom, bedroom and living room upstairs. B the view from all windows is spectacular.

The Yellow Dory was a true Newfoundland experience. Set in a waterfront neighbourhood you could watch the fisherman hauling the lobster nets in the bay out looking the kitchen window. Purchased lobster from one of the neighbours and had an absolute feast.
The stairs to the upper bedroom are a little steep, and there is a beautiful claw foot tub but no shower. We were a group of four and had a fabulous time.
