If you are going to visit Newfoundland, you have to go to Trinity. And if you go to Trinity, you don’t want to miss the Campbell House’s warm hospitality. It is a must. This is an ocean front beautifully restored 19th century home whose owner Tineke Gow is as enthused about welcoming her guests and doing everything possible for theirs to be a most memorable stay as she was when she first started her business. I've been three times to Trinity and her enthusiasm always moves me. If you like old houses of times gone by, you’ll love the Campbell House. It has a soft, refined, European taste, and it is very cozy, comfortable and well situated. The staff is most friendly and dedicated, and if you are attentive, you’ll detect a subtle but clear team pride that emerges from their interactions with the guests. They act as if the B&B is as much their business as is Tineke’s, and they show as much concern for your well being as if they were owners themselves. This is what is so memorable about staying at the Campbell House: you feel special. Tineke always has a word for everyone at breakfast time when she goes round making sure your day is fully planned, and you have all the directions you need to get where you want to go. If you decided to extend your stay and she is fully booked and can’t take you, don’t worry, she’ll not rest until she’s found accommodations for you elsewhere nearby. I like to go to B&B’s not only for their friendlier atmosphere but also to get to know people. At the Artisan Inn (part of the Campbell House) where I ate my breakfasts during my 8 day stay there, I met all kinds of very interesting people, and Tineke with her disarmingly contagious bubbly personality promotes a wonderful atmosphere among the guests themselves.

Trinity is a one of a kind little town. The site is gorgeous. It is right on the water facing an awesome promontory. The people are the friendliest you can imagine, and the variety of activities you can engage in are endless, from kayaking, whale watching and hiking, to following the Pageant, going to Shakespeare plays and attending musical performances offered every day during summer by the Rising Tide Theatre. The people that live there are very fortunate for this is truly a very special place. Whether you wish to be by yourself and just rest and take in the soothing beauty of the place, or you wish a little bit more action, you will love it; and it won’t take long before you’re completely hooked and catch yourself silently making advanced plans to come back again the following year.
