We stayed in the Thackeray Suites the night before the ferry came. The price was fantastic! The kids loved the yard and could blow off some steam before getting on the boat. The view was breath taking and Gerald was extremely friendly and accommodating.

We stayed here the night before our ferry back to NS and were very happy. The owner was very friendly and personable - and the accommodations were just as advertised. (We were staying in the Thackeray Suites - 3 adults and 3 kids). Kitchen was equipped for cooking, and the place was very clean and comfortable. A nice cottage-like feel... More

Gerald goes above and beyond a manager to make your stay comfortable. best (homemade) raisin drop cookies I've eaten... More

Smallish bedroom, but the accommodations were quite adequate. Very picturesque view out the back. I’m not sure you’d spend days here as there isn’t a whole lot to do. But as a stopping point before or after the ferry, you can’t do better. Gerald makes a nice simple breakfast in the morning too. What a deal.

As with the other reviewers, we were arriving from the ferry and found that this was a very convenient place to spend the night. We did enjoy visiting local scenic spots, but appreciated the clean, comfortable accommodations after several miles walking. Quiet rural setting suited us very well.

We got off the Newfoundland ferry and then spent the rest of the afternoon looking at 3 lighthouses. When trying to find the last one, there was a Y in the road but no sign to tell us which way to go. We flagged down a man and his wife to ask which way. He said, "Follow me and I... More

Arrived in Newfoundland via ferry in Port Aux Basques. After a quick offload I drove 30 minutes (51 kms) to Maclellan Inn/ Thackeray Suites located in Doyles Nfld. It's in a beautiful rural setting near the ocean. The imposing Tabletop Mountains add a wonderful backdrop to the scenery as well. The Inn was full when I booked but I was... More

This was our first stop in Newfoundland arriving from the Port aux Basques ferry. We were greeted at the MacLellan Inn by Gerald, a warm and friendly host. Having made prior arrangements with him for our way in and out of the Island, we stopped by on our way back. Unfortunately, our ferry was delayed for two days because of... More

We stayed here twice, one night each time, while traveling between the ferry and Rocky Harbour. Accommodations are not luxurious but comfortable and fine for a one night stay. Gerald is friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again if passing through the area.

My husband and I stayed a night at the Maclellan Inn after arriving to Newfoundland by ferry. It is an easy 30 minute drive from the ferry and we were greeted warmly by our host. The rooms are clean and spacious, the views of the lake and mountains are gorgeous, and the hospitality can't be beat. We would absolutely recommend... More
