    Beautiful old home, very friendly host, and excellent breakfast.

    At checkout while processing my credit card I was presented with a "gratuities" screen (choose 15, 20, or 30%) which I have not previously experienced for lodging expenses. It was a surprise and I wasn't sure how to respond as I didn't know what the protocol is for tipping on lodging expenses in Canada.

    Nice clean large room with excellent view and the host was most accommodating and answered all of our questions. A full solid breakfast of your choosing is also included. I believe you could spend a couple of nights here and stay well occupied.

    Not much view from our room but the location was good. My wife currently has a knee challenge and to get to the rooms one has to climb about 30 steps to reach the second floor where the rooms are. Some elderly folks might have difficulty reaching their room.

    The traditional breakfast was good but was a bit limited if one had dietary issues such as being a Diabetic ( type 1). Room and bed was very comfortable, and bathroom was modern.

    The Inn is Lovely! The hosts are great - very knowledgeable about the area & we had made to order breakfasts that were delicious! All areas are very clean & welcoming. The rooms each have their own private washroom, a mini fridge and the bed was comfortable. We would highly recommend to everyone!

    The view, the location. The charisma of the place. Even if this was an historic building, very modern and technological amenities were there and appreciated (google music, cast devices). Everything was also very well thought, and a feeling "of feeling at home" was very present. Top of my stays in NFLD.

    High end doesn't come cheap.

    Everything is high-end BNB, location next to trail, ocean view, clean, modern but in two centuries house. Host is a chief so expect unexpectedly rich breakfast.

    The mini fridge in the room was making weird noises, but nothing that couldn't be fixed.

    We had a wonderful 2 nights stay at this B&B. This is an old house that was recently renovated. The host Brad and Tanya did a great job in making the entire place feel very welcome. The rooms are beautifully decorated with all essential amenities available. They even provided books about local interests if you are into reading. The breakfast was excellent, with several options in the menu. Brad prepared this with care; you can see that he put his passion into cooking. He also has a lunch cafe running between 11 and 4pm. The location is right facing the water side. Port Union village looks like a dead village, but the people seems friendly. The nearest restaurant (apart from Brad's cafe) is 20 min away in Bonavista. If you are looking for a quite peaceful place to stay then this is the place.

    Suggestions: Would have loved a option to book lunch instead of breakfast and garbage pickup for those staying longer than 1 day.

    The owners work the business themselves and it clearly shows. The cleanliness and the quality of the food was amazing. The property has tones of charm and I have already told all my family and friends what a great stay it truly was.

    We found we needed a chair in the room - to sit alone and read, put on shoes, watch tv. The sitting room was a nice idea and would work for some, but we ended up visiting in the dining room so that there was enough room for all 4 couples.

    It is at the centre of Port Union, literally next door from the historic district of Port Union, and only about 15 min from Bonavista and 30 min from Trinity, which makes it a very convenient place to stay and go to most attractions in the Peninsula. The owner is friendly and can readily provide suggestions about where we can visit. The breakfast is also really fantastic.

    We didn't stay long enough!!!

    I do not often choose a B&B to stay at but after looking at the pictures of Harborside Inn & Cafe I am so glad that I did something different. The pictures do not do the inn justice!!  We were met on arrival bt Brad who gave us the tour, showed us our rooms and took our breakfast orders for the morning with our preferred time. The rooms were cozy, beautifully decorated, little fridge complete with water, TV with Netflix, robes and toilettries including soap made locally. Brad and Tanya have taken time and care to sure their guests feel at home...small things like the wifi code hung on plaques through house and suggested things to do in the 3 nearby villages and supporting local. We sat on the front porch for wine and a snack as the sun set before tucking in for the night.  Brad's breakfast in the morning was fabulous...it will get us through our day definitely did not leave hungry. Highly recommend and we will be back!!!

    Nothing.

    Breakfast was very good. Location was in a national historic site. Small village. People live there. Not touristy but great historical places where locals had great tours and stories. It is a town with a Newfoundland union history. We were so glad to be there. It is a really unique village. Very different from Trinity and Bonavista.
