Lupinfield Cottage - a Curated Guesthouse Experience
Welcome to Lupinfield Cottage, a place and space which steps you back in time. This historic 4 bedroom vacation home in picturesque Twillingate, nestled on the bay is cozy and charming with uniquely designed living spaces indoors and out. Ideal for couples & families, this home features a wood burning stove, soaker clawfoot tub, 2 bathrooms, laundry and plenty of room to enjoy.
To fully experience the magic of Lupinfield Cottage and Twillingate combined, we offer a minimum stay of 3 nights.
Lupinfield Cottage offers you a unique Newfoundland experience with a curated vintage vibe. The home has lots of natural light which dances through the windows with wavy antique glass, passing from room to room throughout the day. As daylight fades, the cottage becomes softly illuminated with the warmth of vintage lighting and candlelight (if you wish) throughout.
The heart of the home is the kitchen, which welcomes you with a spacious open layout and a large kitchen table. Gatherings are cozy in this space, enjoy the the warmth of a crackling fire in the woodstove. Perfect for our grey foggy days. A charming galley kitchen, affectionately dubbed “the Butler’s Pantry”, is stocked with an array of spices and the basics that you might need to for preparing a meal cooked at home.
Upstairs you’ll find the 4 unique bedrooms, with 2 queen and 2 double-sized beds. Each bed is outfitted with comfortable mattresses, pillows and clothesline fresh linens. Perfect for a greatnight's sleep.
Outside, the cottage gardens bloom continuously and are all yours to enjoy. The front porch and a dining patio in the side yard allows you to catch sunshine while enjoying a meal outdoors.
Lupinfield sits beside an active working fishing harbour. Alive with Newfoundland’s fishing heritage. Watch the boats come and go with the tides, while the fishermen land their catch of cod. It is an authentic glimpse of the life and culture that shaped this island.
Tucked behind the house in the backyard is a wooden yoga platform, also yours to enjoy. A meandering trail cut through the lupin fields and wild berries makes the perfect spot for a game of tag or hide & seek!
Across the road is a rocky beach perfect for beach combing and cook dips on hot summer days. In the old sheep shed is “Charlie’s Prop Shop” a pop-up antique shop which I occasionally open to the public and is also yours to snoop through, if you wish!
For guests with travellers taller than 6 feet... just a heads-up... Lupinfield Cottage retains most of its original 19th century architecture. Including lower ceiling heights with a minimum height of 7’ in some rooms.
Also notable are the original 19th century wood windows. While one or two of them may get cranky with the changing weather, all work wonderfully and have been fully restored. In the cooler seasons (Spring & Fall) antique glass storm windows are installed overtop of the window sashes which have small ventilation flaps for fresh air intake.
Parking for your car is in the driveway on the right hand side of the house, beside the root cellar. If you have a second or third car joining, additional parking spaces are available.
Lupinfield Cottage is a registered accommodations business with the Town of Twillingate and the province of Newfoundland & Labrador. Our Registration Number is 4523.

Lupinfield Cottage is an absolute gem and the experience of staying there is magical. Charlie has restored this classic Twillingate home with love and a keen eye and he is the perfect host. Staying at Lupinfield Cottage made our time in Twillingate perfect!
We have never felt more welcome … the greeting and tour by the owner, the beautiful heritage cottage, the lighting, the fireplace, the fresh baking and jam, the coffee, the fresh real cut flowers from the garden, the fine detail/embroidery in the linens, the beautifully decorated bathroom. Thank you so much Charlie.
An old fashioned house with all the extra little touches
Charlie has lovingly restored this delightful house, respecting it's heritage with every detail, while providing all modern conveniences. He was a wonderful host in every way and we'd highly recommend a stay. You're on the edge of the ocean and folks greet to you as you pass. A most welcoming community.
Charlie has created a peaceful oasis in a beautiful setting. Every morning I was never tired of the view of the little cove we were on. Charlie and Nancy have thought of everything and more. From freshly ground coffee on arrival to a beautifully appointed living room to beds made with the most comfortable sheets and pillows. Lupienfield cottage is a walk back in time. Each room tells a story. The finishings are fabulous. Staying in Charlie’s home was an experience that I will treasure. I would highly recommend this cottage for your stay in the Twillingate area. Charlie met us upon arrival and was available any time for assistance.
Extraordinaire bienvenue de la part du propriétaire. Maison 5*, équipée selon l’annonce et même plus. Le propriétaire était super bien résauté pour les visites des icebergs et les sentiers dans les environs. Merci beaucoup à Charlie, pour sa bienveillance, ses bons conseils et générosité !

Why they chose this property
Farmer's Arm Road is one of the gems of this town, where you can walk the street along the coastline and feel like you've been transported to another time. Colourful houses, beaches, gardens and fences make this a photographer's dream come true. The neighbours you'll meet are lovely, one of them is an active marina where you can watch the boats come and go.
Famous for its reputation of being the 'Iceberg Capital of the World'. As early as April to June, these massive ice sculptures literally drift in and around Iceberg Alley.
Twillingate has an impressive coastal hiking trail, very well maintained and known as the Rockcut Trails - something that you'll want to pack your hiking boots for. They feature over 25kms of trails which literally take you all around Twillingate's southern and northern islands. Here we love hiking and there's a trail for absolutely everyone's level.
