Travelling to NL I was glad I had the chance to go as far as Cow Head. It was a friendly town were we went to the local museum and had the guided tour which was great to hear the history. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and our service at the restaurant was good The hotel its self is a bit dated but overall it is kept well maintained.
