This year the
Glynmill Inn celebrates 90 years in the hospitality business catering to both
local Corner Brook residents and visitors alike with its old world charm. The
Glynmill Inn was built in a distinctive tudor style and currently includes 78
hotel rooms, 2 restaurants, meeting rooms and other amenities. It was designed
by architect, Andrew Cobb of Halifax in 1923 and was turned into a hotel a year
later.
The Glynmill Inn is known for its distinctive architecture |
Besides its outstanding architecture, another great feature of the Glynmill Inn is its location which is adjacent to the Glynmill Inn Pond as well as numerous walking trails. Although it is near the centre of Corner Brook it enjoys a fabulous park- like setting.
The Glynmill Inn has numerous walking trails nearby |
We have enjoyed taking visitors to the Glynmill Inn for years to see its
well kept grounds and to enjoy a meal in the Carriage Room Restaurant. We often
walk around one of the Corner Brook stream trails which wind next to the
Glynmill Inn property and we think it is especially scenic in the fall.
Glynmill Inn Pond is very picturesque in the fall |
On a recent evening we enjoyed a walk around
the pond and then had a superb meal at the Glynmill Inn’s renowned Wine Cellar
Restaurant. The Wine Cellar is known for
its steaks and we ordered the popular filet mignon and strip loin steaks. Both were
very tender and they come with your choice from a variety of homemade steak
sauces as well as oven roasted potatoes and vegetables. We had a tasty avocado
and tomato salad and delicious seafood chowder to start. Later the dessert menu had lots of tempting options and even though we were very full we
couldn’t resist splitting an order of tarts ,one bakeapple and the other partridge berry. If
you want to have a fine meal out you can’t go wrong with the Wine Cellar. For
