Hotel North

Old world charm in decently appointed rooms. The grounds are amazing in season. The restaurant has the vibe of an English team room, where the food is good, but food service operates at a snails pace. We'll, lets be honest, the food service would make a snails pace look blisteringly fast. But the food is good so if you have the time and a novel to read, by all means try that too.

My husband and I spent two nights at the Glynmill Inn in the middle of September 2025.|I had accident a couple of days prior, which resulted in a broken bone in my right foot and I was unable to weight bear, so I was using an aircast walking boot to immobilize the foot and crutches. My mobility issues were very obvious!|With some difficulty, we managed to get me up the front stairs to the reception area. There was no signage indicating there was a ramp at the back of the building and the reception staff did not make us aware of the ramp. The room they assigned us was #245, which those familiar with the hotel, will recognize as being one of the rooms furthest from the elevator. Likely the furthest I have ever experienced from an elevator at any hotel. Unfortunately we were not aware of the length of the trek until we started the journey to the room. Granted, I had made the reservation prior to my injury, but incorrectly assumed that because of the obvious injury, they would attempt to give us a room close to the elevator or explain that no other rooms were available.|With the exception of the carpet, the room was clean, adequate space, large bathroom and the bed was very comfortable.|The next morning my husband located the ramp.|We asked reception staff about a detour route, because of road construction in Corner Brook, and were given incorrect information.|When we returned from our day excursion, we told the reception staff we were parked in their handicapped parking space by the ramp, at the back of the building.|We were informed we could not park there without a provincial gov't parking permit and they could not provide us with a temporary paper hotel authorization for one night. They suggested we go up to the hospital and attempt to get a disability parking pass from them. After that conversation, other than checking out, we saw no point in communicating with them any further. |The dining room staff were excellent and our breakfasts were very good. |Fortunately I was travelling with my husband who was able to check the facility for accessibility, drop me off, pick me up and park the vehicle.|The Glynmill did email us a link to a survey regarding our stay, but we have been unable to open the link.|Our experience with the Glynmill reception was in sharp contrast the excellent service we received from all the other service providers we encounter on our trip to Newfoundland.

Spent two nights here as part of a tour. The Inn is 100 years old and really charming in a lovely setting. We really liked walking around the pond, it was beautiful. Both our breakfasts were very good. Areas of the Inn definitely need refreshing but everything was clean. Our bed was quite comfortable and the windows opened which was great for getting some fresh cool air. My only complaint was the state of the shower in room 126. There was great water pressure and tons of hot water but it was tricky to adjust the temperature and the fixed shower head did not work so a hand held was attached. It hung at a strange angle and was hard to adjust. Washing my hair was not fun. The toiletries are not great, no body-wash, just bar soap and I had to ask for conditioner ( the room attendant was great). If they updated the bathroom it would really make for a better experience.
