Quirpon Lighthouse Inn B&B, Corner Brook, Newfoundland

Newfoundland's unique island bed and breakfast experience in a restored lightkeeper's home on the shores of “Iceberg Alley”, the best location and longest season in Newfoundland for iceberg viewing. As you drift off to sleep in our well-appointed bed and breakfast let the powerful North Atlantic surf remind you of the hardiness of the generations of lightkeepers who have lived in this isolated corner of the globe where nature remains untamed. At dawn, as you stroll before our hearty breakfast, be sure to introduce yourself to your only neighbors – the whales migrating past the doorstep of the inn.

Our B&B is located at the northernmost point in Newfoundland overlooking the Viking site of L'Anse aux Meadows. Our 7 km long deserted island has a beautiful hike to an abandoned fishing village where a mass murder and suicide became the basis for the remarkable book, “Curse of the Red Cross Ring”. Take time also to walk the cliffs to the unexcavated ancient sod huts where the remains of an ancient culture are left undisturbed.

Quirpon Lighthouse Inn offers ten rooms in two houses at the base of an operating lighthouse. A romantic spot for your honeymoon or to renew a special relationship. The inn was restored by us (Linkum Tours) in 1998 and this year it is joined by our newest restored lighthouse inn located at Cape Anguille, near the Marine Atlantic ferry terminal at Port aux Basques, NL.
