A beautiful room awaited us,as did Peggy. Our favourite room we've stayed at in the past 2 weeks,very clean and the breakfast including the conversation was great. We wish we would have had more time to spend here. Gambo was the highlight of Gander.

Freshwater is a nice stop halfway across Newfoundland. It has clean, comfortable rooms, charming hosts, and a big breakfast that will rival any. It lies right on the water so the scenery is great, but it is not a beach you could swim, wade, beachcomb, or boat in. The inn is about 10 km off TransCanada Highway at the far... More

Travelling with elderly parents. Location (including acurate directions) convenient and lovely. Rooms spacious, very clean and nicely decorated. Hospitality second to none. Over an eight-day itinerary, by far the best accomms.

This is an incredibly quaint and beautifual Inn tucked away on the outskirsts of Gambo and within footsteps from the ocean. But what makes this a Gold Star B&B are its' proprietors Peggy & Boom! They are without question two of the most special people that you will ever meet. From the moment we arrived they exuded the warmest welcome.... More

We booked this place after reading all the great reviews on Trip Advisor and even the fabulous comments don’t do it justice, you truly need to experience this place to know what everyone is talking about. We booked this place as a central location to do a day trip to Twillingate but what we soon discovered was that Freshwater Inn... More

We were embarrassed to arrive at 10 p.m. after a long day on the road, but our hosts Peggy and Boom were reassuring and more than happy to wait up for us. They welcomed us with open arms and even walked us to our room to make sure we knew where everything was. The room was well appointed with all... More

I travel around the Province for work and choose B&Bs and inns ( I like to support the home team). This place exceeded my expectations! The owners are friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautiful and the bed was so comfortable. Top notch, first rate and well beyond the 4 star rating. As a matter of fact, I booked for... More

The rooms are 5 star accommodations- clean, new and very comfortable. The owners are great people and cook a mean breakfast! You can enjoy a campfire while overlooking one of the most beautiful and zen places in Newfoundland. We wish could have stayed more than one night. Hands down the best B&B I have ever stayed in...

I greatly enjoyed my stay at The Fresh Water Inn. The small complex of the three rooms was very lovely with excelent decoration and very cozy. Peggy and Boom were excelent hosts treating us as if we were family. Peggy was an excelent cook and provided us with many memorable meals. Although their isn't much to do in Gambo the... More
