When I have had a great experience in my travels, I share it with my friends and others whom I don't know. During booking it was suggested that we should drive from St.John's around the Baccalieu Trail which was a marvellous trip. When we arrived in Dildo we were welcomed warmly by Todd and the staff who all anticipated our... More

Arrived at the Inn by the Bay, and met Todd. Came across as a friendly chap, but kept a distance. Room was wonderful, filled with old furnishings. The bathroom was well above average. The bed was so comfortable. Did not want to get up in morning, but the smell of bacon drew you towards it!!! We had a meal on... More

My sister and I recently spent two nights at the George House and the Inn by the Bay in Dildo. Firstly, I had never been to this part of NL and it was so charming and peaceful. One could sit on the lawn by the Inn and gaze for hours at the water and the quiet surroundings. Todd and Dale... More

We booked the Thomas room in the upper house. There are two house on the property.Very neat old homes from the late 1800's. Nice old furnishings. Our bathroom was incredible. The bed and linens were very nice, comfortable and of high quality. No detail over looked here. Breakfast was delicious with fresh backed croissants, cereals, yogurts and eggs and bacon.... More

I didn't stay here overnight so I cannot comment on that, but we had a meal here and it was fantastic. We did the four course meal and enjoyed every last bite. I would highly recommend and can't wait to eat there again!

We stayed in the Rowe Room on the ground floor. It was large & nicely decorated but we found it noisy. The walls aren't soundproofed so we plainly heard people talking outside our door. Also, being on the ground floor, we heard the upstairs guests as well. Breakfast was nicely served but no choice for the hot entree. When we... More

After reading many positive reviews about Inn By The Bay, we decided to book my girlfriend's birthday evening at the B&B. Unfortunately, we were unable to go because of a hurricane on the day in question. Anyone who has driven the Newfoundland highways during heavy rain knows that it can be very dangerous, so we chose safety over our night... More
