Edge of the Avalon Inn

Newfoundland & Labrador


True to the name, the Edge of the Avalon is way at the bottom of the Irish Loop, in the little town of Trepassey. Rooms are basic and clean, staff are friendly, and you're in a great spot for accessing Mistaken Point. The inn hosts and arranges screech-ins, storytelling hikes and live music.
