Quaint cottage in great location

We truly enjoyed our stay at Ruth’s House. The location was great for walking to shops and restaurants and the beds were very comfortable. It was so quiet too. We had everything we needed and would definitely stay again. (Note - if you’re really tall be aware of the low ceilings but don’t let it stop you from staying.)

Great location in Bonavista

Communication with Luke was easy and professional. The location was easy walking distance to Bonavista Puffin and Whale Tours as well as restaurants. The ceiling height inside the unit was not an issue for our group but could be for others. The sofa in the living room provided an extra sleeping surface if needed. The bathroom is beautiful. My only suggestion would be to add extra mirrors in few places to make it quicker for several people to get ready in the morning. I would love to stay here again.

Comfy & Cozy Ruth House

This place exceeded our expectations in almost every way. Although small rooms, they were perfectly furnished and appointed. The modern bathroom was exceptional. Although the kitchen was fully prepped for cooking, we were only there two nights, so did not ; but could see the possibilities for a more extended visit. Would definitely return.

Property was great in a perfect location. Hosts were very quick to address any issues. Only issue is that due to the age of the house the ceiling height is very low. The doors frames have a clearance of 5’.8 and the ceilings themselves are only about 6 feet tall upstairs so you might have to bend down to avoid hitting your head if your tall.
