Girls Night for my birthday and my sister in law's was perfect ! Our cottage was spotless, and well equipped. We had a breathtaking view, access to a secluded beach for a fire, and even got to help a few baby puffins find their was back to the ocean to safety. Highly recommend this beautiful vacation spot. Staff was super quick to respond when we had a minor issue with the refrigerator on check-in, and it no big deal at all. Will definitely return

Amazing views, very clean cottage and friendly staff. In season you can see whales from your balcony and even an occasional sea otter. The kitchen is fully equipped. I highly recommend this place and will certainly return.

This was our first trip to Newfoundland and having survived the ferry ride ( high winds made for a very unpleasant night crossing) we made the drive across Newfoundland to Tors Cove. I cannot say enough about the facilities or the staff at Celtic Rendezvous Cottages. We checked in at the office which is also home to their small cafe and grocery store. We noticed immediately that everything was immaculate, not just ok, but practically shiny clean. Having the store that close was very convenient for the items we sometimes forgot from the larger groceries and their large selection of foods was nice too. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They shared recipes for traditional Newfoundland food, suggested boat tours and were even going to fix us a traditional jiggs dinner, but our time ran out. Genuine friendliness we found to be the rule, not the exception both at the Cottages as well as Newfoundland in general. The cabin was amazing! Spotlessly clean, well equipped with kitchen appliances and amenities, and the single most beautiful view from the large living room windows, that I have ever seen. Period. The large front deck on the cottages overlooks the bay and bird sanctuaries and although we were too early for the whales, late May, we saw so much wildlife, water and beautiful sunrise/sunsets, we barely missed them. Beside our cabin sat the barbeque hut, a large building with several gas grills and picnic tables with large easy open windows to enjoy the fresh sea air and sounds while grilling your evening meal. For me these cabins provided a spectacular place to enjoy my family, cook scrumptious meals, behold nature in it's most pristine, unspoiled glory, ponder things of an eternal nature and enjoy the company of the most sincere, kind people I have ever met: Newfoundlanders.

Beautiful cottages and view, very poor service by the owner, we had to wait for her to show up at the main office to check in then we had to wait for someone else to drop the keys off to her, when we got to our cottage there wasn't any bath towels and we had to wait at least 3 hours for these to be delivered (it was the only nice day of the weekend and the wait def cut into our plans for the afternoon especially when she said they would be there in a minute). But the part that really bothered me we checked out on Sunday on by Wednesday there was still a hold on our credit card (we paid in cash upon arrival) when we called about this on Tuesday she said she would take care of it, we tried to use the card on Wednesday and the hold was still there when I called a man answered and when I got upset he hung up on me!!!! POOR SERVICE!!!! Eventually it was straighten out later on Thursday after they charged us for the room not once but twice (remember they already had our cash) finally they took the hold off and reversed the charges. Poor poor customer service, be careful giving this crowd your credit card especially if you want to use it within a week of checking out.

This was our only bad experience in Newfoundland. We booked this location based on their internet site and reviews. The reviews that we saw and those printed in the cabin guidebook happened to be several years old and the website is horribly outdated. We were promised an amazing restaurant on site, ( the website talks about it prominently) . The truth is that there is no restaurant, there is also no convenience store or bakery on site. It is a long drive to the nearest store for food and when we asked about restaurants nearby , they suggested St John's !
The cabin did not have cold running water in the kitchen, only hot water. The place was quite dirty, mould in the bathroom, stained furniture that was torn and had been fixed with staples. The curtains had not seen a cleaning in ages, damaged walls, screens that did not fit the windows ( we were given a roll of tape to close the holes). The towels were old, and fraying. the bathroom sink leaked. It just went on and on. My 8 year old cried the first night and did not want to use the shower. We were also surprised when we arrived, we found that the cabins back onto a trailer park. We were still awake at 1:00 in the morning, loud music and bad language, was not what we expected. ( the rules in the cabin guide state that no loud noise will be tolerated after 11:00) We felt mislead and let down. We scrambled to find another place to stay and a few days later were glad to leave.

Made a last minute decision to spend a final night in Newfoundland south of St John's and was comfortably accomodated at the Celtic Cottages, I was given one of the cottage son the bluff with one of the most stunning vistas in a province loaded with beautiful views. The cottage was immaculate and seemingly modern with anything one could want. Large fully equipped kitchen and sitting area, small bedroom and excellent bathroom. Possibly the nicest cottage I had rented in Newfoundland. The small balcony was a plus, although the evening was a bit too blustery to fully appreciate it. Not inexpensive but given the quality of accomodation and seasonality of NFL tourism, I really felt it was fairly priced.

At first glance, the RV park portion of the Celtic Rendezvous complex seems like a dream come true as the views are INCREDIBLE! However, the wind is HORRIFIC! And the gravel RV area is not the least bit level (took us about 20+ min to jockey the RV around trying to find a relatively level spot only requiring 2 'orange leveling blocks' under the 'off-kilter' side). All was fine for about 2 hours until the winds came up and the RV started rocking side to side--then my dream campsite turned into a nightmare as I feared getting blown off the cliff! Because I also was concerned about my slides getting damaged or my slide toppers being ripped to shreds, I brought in the slides and spent a fitful night rocking and rolling. I watched my neighbors (only other camper in the 12 spot park) move their rig 4-5 times trying to find a safer spot...they too had a sleepless night.
The next morning, we decided to leave (3 days/nights early), but couldn't find anyone to advise (& try to get a refund...) In fact, that is/was another complaint...very unwelcoming check-in...no information re: amenities & how to get WiFi (asked a cottage guest who gave me the password). The place seems kind of deserted and semi-neglected. The restaurant/cafe is closed and the 'office' seems unstaffed most of the time (at least the times I tried to get assistance OR inform of early departure). Apparently the 'resort' (& I use the term loosely) is for sale and is being managed by some outside entity until it is sold. So, I decided to abandon my hopes of getting a $90+ cdn refund and left this sad, isolated place.

Stayed at the chalet with several friends for the night in August, 2013. It was a very nice place with an awesome view of the bay. The website did not give it justice. There was a full kitchen, a master bedroom, a bedroom with two double beds, two bathrooms and two living rooms. All open concept. Also, there's a huge deck surrounding the entire chalet with a BBQ. Everything we needed was there and the secretary at the front office was very friendly. We had an incredible experience and we will definitely be going back again.
However, I have a few complaints.
The chalet was spacious and there was enough room for all 12 of us to sleep. However, the maximum "allowed" to stay at this chalet is 6, even though there is 3 double beds and several couches ALONG WITH around 8 cots that were in the closet. Makes no sense. Also, one of our friends was out on the deck early in the morning and he seen a man (who I believe is the owner) walking around the deck peeking in through the windows. I thought it was rude and big invasion of privacy. It made us feel extremely uncomfortable.
Otherwise, it was a good time and we will definitely be returning.

We travelled to NFLD with another couple in June 2011. We couldn't have picked a better home base for daily excursions around the Avalon Penninsula. Cabins were exceptionally clean (by the friendliest lady who accommodated our every need) and the grounds were immaculate. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning and watched Minke whales cruise through the cove, a couple of seals that liked to sunbath and sleep on the shore and tons of seabirds. Cabins are well stocked with everything we needed to cook. Beautiful ocean view that changed with the weather. . . different every day. Leona in the office was especially accommodating and helped us pick the 'must sees' in Newfoundland which were easily travelled in a day from the cottages (with lots of stops). We enjoyed 'chats' with her and learned lots about the cove and Newfoundland. The 'LaManche' hike to the village that was wiped out by a huge wave (you walk from your cabin) is a great day walk - bring a lunch. Don't miss the Bakery in the cove before Celtic Rendezvous . . . not only the best home baked bread but also baking - matrimonial cake was to die for. After supper walks in Tors Cove plus adjoining coves always were entertaining . . . the locals were so friendly!

We stayed in one of the "efficiency units" because the cottages were fully booked and I was surprised at how much room we had (we were only two people). The units appear to have been constructed only recently, and were spotless. The view from the deck was breathtaking- we went on a whale spotting tour but didn't see any whales until we came back to Celtic Rendezvous and saw them frisking about in the bay! I would say this location is great for both couples and families- it's a lovely quiet retreat and even though children were here, we didn't hear a peep from any direction. Everything you would need is here, though I would recommend doing a grocery run in St John's as there is not much within a half hour drive aside from convenience stores. Celtic Rendezvous is beautifully situated-- near the East Coast trail, Captain's Table (a good local restaurant) and other attractions on the Irish Loop. I'd go back right away if I could!
