We stayed 2 nights mid August. I must say we were booked 3 nights but had to cancel one because of ferry service interruption (what a nightmare, always allow at least one day before and after ferry to NL or you risk to stay on holiday forever...). The owner accepted the cancellation with no issue and we appreciated that. The... More

We stayed here one night to be near Witless Bay and were vary glad we did. The owners are friendly and accomodating, and the breakfast was well prepared. The room was clean and comfortable. We appreciated being within a short walk to a trailhead for the East Coast Trail.

Service was so-so... not as friendly as our other stays in Newfoundland, particularly for a bed n breakfast-type place. We were the only guests when we arrived and when asked if we wanted an ocean view room (I booked the forest view room), assumed it was a free upgrade, only to be charged an extra $20 upon checkout. The 'ocean... More

This place is about five years old, but the walls are pretty thin and it can get kind of noisy. I liked walking down to the harbour and the owner was kind enough to pick us up from an east coast trail trailhead. I did feel this place was kind of overpriced though.

Would highly recommend this Inn to anyone travelling in the area - great location if wanting to spend the day in St. John's (only a 25 minute drive). We stayed two nights (had only planned on staying one). The owners Clayton and Linda were very hospitable and Linda cooked us a great breakfast both mornings (included in the price). Very... More

We spent two nights in mid-June at the Bears Cove Inn. This is a relatively new building, on a secondary road very near to the coast. The office, dining room and a small common room, as well as a few rooms, are on the first floor; the remaining rooms are on the second floor (no elevator). We had a room... More
