This Bed and Breakfast was amazing.This family Heritage Home has been restored authentically and Shelly and Garry live there and run the B&B with love and respect for it’s past.They are so well informed of the history of the area and great at recommending places to go to or eat at.The Manor is spotless and historically preserved but up to date.The rooms provide great comfort and the breakfasts are designed to accommodate any dietary restrictions.Do not forget that the breakfasts are so nicely presented and delicious.You will want for nothing.A nice touch is an evening snack and conversation ,if you wish,with other guests and the Inn Keepers.We stayed 2 nights and hated to leave.A great location to day trip from and a wonderful experience to share in their family heritage.Well worth the stay.…

How can I add anything more positive than all the reviews that precede this one? This is by far the nicest B&B I have ever stayed in and am now totally spoiled. Shucks! Thank you Garry and Shelley for a most wonderful experience. We will remember Newfoundland and you! Barb and Ross Winnipeg.

This is the second time we have stayed here and, as always, Garry and Shelly were excellent hosts. In the Bonavista area this is the place to stay. Accomodations are very comfortable, early morning coffee provided, breakfasts made to order the night before, tea, treats and conversation shared at the end of the day - Wow! Within walking distance of the historic town of Port Union and so many other attractions that Garry and Shelly can suggest visiting. Always a pleasure to stay here, looking forward to a third visit. Five stars!

A very comfortable B&B … everything that we read about The Manor was very positive, so we arranged to stay in their G&F Blackmore Room; cozy room, 2 single beds + ensuite … allowed for quiet and restful sleeps. Staying at The Manor allowed us to explore the Bonavista Peninsula easily! Every night we had homework, we needed to select what we would like prepared for breakfast and at what time they should expect us. In a wonderfully civilized move, each of our 3 nights found us sitting in the dining room enjoying a cuppa and a shared plate of fruit, cheese & crackers and tasty squares – along with all of the other Manor guests plus our hosts. WOW! What an incredible experience, as we share the wonders of the area, plus travelling tips, enjoying each other’s company plus having Gary & Shelly’s vast knowledge of the peninsula! (this is also when we handed in our homework) Every morning around 7:00 a.m. Gary would make morning coffees available outside our rooms! Breakfasts were delicious, and magnificently prepared. Afterwards being excused from the table, you could take your cuppa to the sitting room by the water or outside on the deck – a wonderful way to start the day! From the moment you walk through the door until you leave you are made to feel absolutely welcome. Our hosts encouraged us to use their laundry facilities (and supplies) if we had the need – we accepted. A person could get very used to staying here, as everything exceeded our expectations!…

My husband, my daughter and I stayed here for one night while we saw a play nearby. Our hosts were gracious and welcoming. The house has been beautifully restored and is very comfortable. During our tour of the property, we oohed and ahhed at every turn. When we arrived back after the play, we were met with a tray of cheese and crackers, fresh fruit and some homemade sweets. And breakfast the next morning was exceptional! Fresh fruit, freshly made blueberry mini muffins, fresh coffee. Then our made to order omelettes, and French toast with scrambled eggs for my daughter. When we left, we felt like we were saying good-bye to friends. The setting was beautiful and I hope we can return one day to continue our exploration.

This place is incredible. We were met at the door and after introductions, the host retrieved our bags from the car and carried them to our room. He also returned them at the end of our stay. Our room was very clean and all amenities provided. The room was also tidied each day. Breakfast was individualized and also piping hot. Conversation flowed among guests and hosts both at breakfast and evening tea. A comfortable sitting area overlooked the bay, and refreshments were offered after returning from a day’s outing. The hosts were very knowledge and passionate about the area they call home.

My wife and I stayed three nights at Captain Blackmore's B&B. Gary and Shelly were wonderful hosts and provide fantastic service to their guest. We loved the old historic home and the history behind it. In the mornings Gary provided coffee upstairs by our room and we would enjoy having our first cup of coffee looking out on the ocean. Their home was one of our best stays for value, comfort, and dedicated serve by the hosts. You will love staying here, John and Linda
