A travel outlet reviewed The Cape Retreat, a six-cabin property on Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula built into a cliffside overlooking Cape Broyle, giving it an overall score of 8 out of 10. The site notes its reviewers are 'usually hosted on a complimentary basis' and that a booking commission is earned via its partner links, disclosures printed above the glowing writeup.

The retreat, founded by a writer and a television/design professional, was built with an architect who also worked on the well-known Fogo Island Inn, and features locally made furniture and ceramics. The review praises its remote location on the East Coast Trail and its mission to revive a fishing community with a shrinking population, though it is not currently bookable through the outlet's own partner sites.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Independently reviewed, the disclaimer insists, right above the part where the reviewer stayed for free and the outlet takes a cut of any booking. Eight out of ten is a fine score for a hotel; it is a remarkable score for an arrangement this transparently cozy.
