Our stay couldn’t have been better! Fred and Pauline were the perfect hosts. It really has a million dollar view and is conveniently located to Trinity and other places of interest.
Fantastic stay! Beautiful property and location, Fred and Pauline were excellent host. Definitely would recommend this place and would stay again in a heartbeat!
Excellent amenities-anything you can think of needing - they have provided.Small and quaint but efficient! Comfortable interior and amazing private exterior. Perfect location for exploring the peninsula. View is spectacular!
Host was very kind, took time to explain heat pump/AC unit as well as giving us a tour. Host provided welcome bottle of red wine. Great location with nice views and proximity to Cape Bonavista. Cottage is rustic! Could use some updating but had everything you needed for a comfortable stay.
We had only one night here which was disappointing because we would have loved to stay longer. The area is so lovely and the view was gorgeous. This cozy 2 bedroom was perfect for us and our hosts made us feel at home.
Amazing host/hostess. Wonderful accommodations with many many 'liitle touches'. Definitely would recommend

I was in the area for a quick stay and enjoyed this place. It’s a bit off the beaten path but the local views are breathtaking.
The space was organized and clean. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming.
We've stayed here once previously in 2024 and wanted to come back for another visit. The property is well-priced and has all the conveniences one could want. Great outdoor space to sit and barbeque and take in the spectacular ocean views. It is nice to have the owners living next door if something were to go wrong and one needed a quick fix. The community is quiet and a great place to stroll around in the evening.
Beautiful view from deck overlooking the village with houses all around the irregularly shaped lagoon. Then a fascinating rock, then the main bay, with Fox Island to the right, then the mouth of Trinity Bay (from the west side), then the ocean. Helpful friendly hosts. Beautiful Fox Island trail, out to 2 beaches connecting the island to mainland.
Great check in,lovely cozy spot...Wine was a gift from host ..nice thought..Great location to visit Bonavista and Trinity..dog friendly, a hard to find asset ..We recomend and will use again..The full moon we had Sat night was a wonderful site..
Pauline welcomed us to Hillside View with a warm smile and showed us all the necessary details. Hillside View has a great view over Champney’s West and Trinity Bay. The pretty cottage is very comfortable for four people and is so well equipped with everything one could possibly need for a short or longer stay. We would love to return to Hillside View for a future visit to the Bonavista Peninsula! Thank you, Pauline and Fred.
Really enjoyed our 2 night stay in Champney's West. Check in was easy, the place was comfy, quiet, well designed and every morning we walked around the pretty bay. There are amazing local trails (Skerwink Trail and Fox Trail which is walking distance from the guesthouse).

Host did not provide check in instructions & when called was not available & no answering machine. Had to go thru vrbo to get instructions, name of b&b was not provided
We loved this little oasis. My fur baby even had a safe yard to run around in. Pauline thought of everything and we were quite comfortable. Highly recommend staying here.
