Fishers' Loft Inn

Truly amazing. We stayed in room 10 in the main house with amazing views from all windows (there were a lot!). Very comfortable with amazing touches that showed just how much the owners cared about their guests experience. We had a dinner there - make sure you reserve it as it’s more than worth it. We also had a breakfast which was stellar. If I was going back I would have all my breakfasts there. Well located and the trails and area are so beautiful it takes your breath away. Can’t say enough about this gem of a place. Well done!

A stay beyond our expectations. You can feel that this place has been crafted with care and intention over time. Everything here reflects thoughtfulness — from the design to the amenities, it offers a complete and generous hospitality experience. It also feel genuine and local. The scenery is breathtaking, and the hike just next door makes it even more magical. We left feeling both rested and inspired.

Magical place to stay and not to be missed. We loved the inn and wish we could have stayed longer. We had booked a forest view room in the conference center (water view wasn't available when we booked). When we checked in, we had been upgraded to the water view room due to a cancellation. This was AWESOME! What views! We loved the property. There are small buildings scattered around and each building has some rooms (not a lot of rooms in each building). They had bicycles you could use and wild blueberries on the grounds. We opted for the dinner each evening. It was amazing. I am gluten intolerant and I didn't miss out on anything. They provided my own bread basked and on the second night when the dessert was carrot cake, I received my own panna cotta with blueberries. The rooms are nicely appointed and very comfortable beds. From this location you can visit Trinity or the Bonaventure peninsula or walk the Skerwink trail. It was a very relaxing stay, very helpful and friendly staff. We hope to come back.

Fisher’s Loft is set in a gorgeous location with stunning views, beautiful rooms and delicious locally sourced food. The family that runs this Inn are such genuine, kind and hospitable people. We were here for a wedding 11 years ago with my family and so excited to have the opportunity to come back. And of course they remembered us! It has to be the best place to stay in Newfoundland to experience the perfect trifecta of delicious food, beautiful scenery and comfortable accommodations.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights while exploring the Trinity Bight. The property is absolutely beautiful, the food is amazing, and the views of the surrounding Port Rexton community are stellar. Our room had a breathtaking view, and it was comfortable and well appointed. We hiked the Skerwink trail right from the front door, and took day trips around to hike other trails, see puffins etc. Everyone on the staff we encountered was friendly and helpful, wonderful to speak with and had great recommendations. The dinner and breakfast were fantastic too. Incredible local fish, vegetables, jams, you name it. Staying here was a wonderful experience!

We spent three days at the Fisher's Loft Inn, and were tremendously impressed with everything about it. Our suite included a separate living room, and was lovely. Dining was absolutely superb, featuring local ingredients, some grown at the Inn. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location offers stunning views and easy access to a wonderful hike on the Skerwink Trail.

We always enjoy our stay at The Fishers’ loft. The attention to detail makes for a unique experience… from the walking trails throughout the grounds to the curated reading list in your room. The food is delicious and we ended up trying something new with the set menu. 10/10! We had a cocktail on the step waiting for dinner and the view is unmatched. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a boutique style bed and breakfast experience.

This was a beautiful place to stay. The views were breathtaking. The room was quite spacious with a bedroom and a living area, including a fold out couch. This was pretty close to Trinity and not far from Elliston or Bonavista. The staff was very kind and accommodating. They reached out early one to help us prepare for our stay. I also recommend making reservations for at least one night. The meal was quite delicious. Even our kids enjoyed it! I'd definitely stay here again!

Friendly and helpful staff. We were offered a Free upgrade. Beautiful views and walks. Great food

A labor of love and exquisite attention to detail by the Fisher family and staff make this a most lovely respite and portal into Newfoundland's warm welcoming folk and wildly wondrous landscapes.

This place is on everyone's list of "must do while in Port Rexton", so we added it to our eating agenda this past weekend. To it's credit, the restaurant uses all fresh and local fare. As you gaze out the window toward the ocean, you also overlook their garden full of tasty lettuces and edible flowers. Dinner is served as a 4-course prix-fixe menu, starting with a little amuse-bouche of smoked mussel. Fresh and delicate salad leaves with a hint of EVOO/red wine vinegar dressing is the next course, and if you let it last, you can eat some of the absolutely spectacular sourdough bread with a bit of butter and sea salt with it. The bread appears at the table pretty quickly, and it is pretty irresistible. There was a choice of two mains - pork tenderloin with apricot chutney, or blackened salmon, paired with lemon couscous and some steamed green beans. Dessert was a lovely panna cotta. On the whole, dinner was nice. The setting is stunning, restaurant intimate. I guess I wish that the food would have had more flavour and complexity - from the mussel, to the salad, to the pork tenderloin. Likely the salmon was the highlight (and that bread!) - it was delicate, flaky, fresh... but was missing some of that true blackened flavour that should have been there. With the variety of food options popping up around Trinity/Port Rexton/Bonavista these days, Fishers' Loft has some tough competition to contend with and might want to think about how to step up its food game just a bit.

Ever since I read that the cast of The Shipping News (2002) stayed here during filming in the Bonavista Peninsula, I have yearned to be a guest. My Newfoundland journey in July was everything and more than I expected. The Inn is comprised of several buildings built on a hillside overlooking Ship Cove. The 12 coastal villages ("outports") between New Bonaventure and English Harbour are referred to as "the Trinity Bight." There are several price ranges, from moderate to luxury. This is an inn not a B&B so meals are a la carte. Cold breakfast (gourmet hand-made cereals, yoghurt, porridge, fresh fruits, and baked goods) is $10 CAD and hot breakfast - made to order - is $16 CAD. The dining room and living room are large open and welcoming. There is a guest computer and a library of books as well as wide porches and art work on the walls that is catalogued for sale. I enjoyed a cold breakfast each morning and one dinner. The dinner menus change daily and are posted on chalkboards and in the public rooms all for a set $55 CAD. The interior dining area includes a small bar and it is open until 10-ish. The food is locally sourced or grown in their extensive gardens. Very good value for the area, too. While I must give this property 5 stars, there are a few things that need mentioning. As elsewhere in NL, there is a paucity of information offered - one must ask. There was very little info in the rooms. * On the second morning, I asked if I could have coffee earlier than 8 am, the start of breakfast service. I learned that if you are having breakfast, they will bring you a thermos a coffee with cream and sugar and a mug to your room at your requested hour. * I asked if I could have items laundered (there was a bag in the closet) and learned it was $13 CAD a load and delivered the next morning. * I made a few visits to the Reception Area (the Mansard building) only to find a paper sign on the door that they were closed - there are no hours posted. But calling "0" would also bring a response. * I found that hotels and B&Bs in NL may not even have shampoo, just a bar of soap. Fishers' has L'Occitane products but no Q-tips or cotton balls. There is no signage re: towels but I left those to be changed on the floor and they were taken but not replaced .. there were extras in the room. * The pillows were feather .. I have learned to pack my own IKEA support pillow when I travel. * The inn is adjacent to the Skerwink Trail - named by Travel & Leisure Mag among the top 10 hiking trails in Canada - but I had to ask for a map at Reception and it is rudimentary. The whole experience of being a guest at Fishers' is so enjoyable and unique that I overlooked these minor things. There are trails that wander up through the wild plantings to the main buildings. The Skerwink is the most amazing and accessible trail I have ever walked. I did it three days in a row with a packed bag of fruit, muffins, water and a book. This is a place where you cannot help but slow down, observe, listen, smell, and just be at peace. The only lodging place I will re-visit on the Bonavista!

Flawless experience. Knew of the inn restaurant through an acquaintance who is building a cottage in Port Rexton. All he said was "It's good." I called for a reservation for dinner that night, but they were booked, but said they would call if there was a cancellation. Five minutes later, we got the call. We were on. Once there we were struck by the beauty of the property and buildings. It looked like the architecture was from the 19th Century. We subsequently learned the oldest building was from 1997. But you can read about the inn and see pretty pictures on Google. This review is about the restaurant, which overlooks the town. The choice was fish (cod) or meat. I chose the cod but asked if I could substitute for the mashed potatoes. "No worries." Got delicious small boiled potatoes. Everything was farm and sea to table. Service was impeccable and not at all pretentious. Good wine selections. Sinful desert. All done by local girls trained by chefs. Hard to find a meal more satisfying in its simplicity and setting.

I want to live here. The staff were all so kind, from the gardener to the cleaning lady. The decor, the views, the in-room amenities were all super...even the walking sticks behind the door and the binoculars on the windowsill. We had breakfasts and a dinner here. Could have been Michelin starred.
