    Tanya and Brad are such welcoming hosts, and Brad makes the most elegant and traditional breakfasts anywhere. The rooms are spacious and modernized.

    Nothing comes to mind.

    Beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean room with a fabulous breakfast (the owner is a chef). We were very pleased to be able to check in before noon (thanks for the flexibility) and feel that Brad and Tanya have thought of everything in putting this place together. It is simply lovely.

    Brad, who is a chef, fixed us the most amazing breakfast both mornings that we were there. He and Tanya were great hosts and told us things to do in the area. Our queen bedroom faced the harbor which is very pretty. Thanks for sharing your part of Newfoundland with us!

    Brad was terrific. He was very accommodating to our arrival schedule. He was very personable and had printed out a list of local sites to see. Breakfast was excellent, serving local traditional dishes. The inn was recently renovated and had a very charming and traditional atmosphere. The location was across the road from the bay with seating and a boardwalk.

    The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and the whole experience was delightful. Port Union has some interesting history to explore, and the hosts of the Inn offer good suggestions for nearby attractions and restaurants. As Port Union is geographically located a short drive west of Bonavista and east of Trinity, it provides a good base for "home." We easily filled three days on the Bonavista Peninsula.

    The front of the house needs some attention and makes a bad first impression but you soon forget this when you see inside and meet the hosts.

    This is a true bed and breakfast, the way it used to be. A gracious and engaging host, great breakfast, and a beautiful and comfortable bed and room

    The access to the home is a little steep so pack lightly. Also a little bit of deck stain on the steps to the front door and some landscaping would give a much better first impression on arrival. My one big complaint is the $60 TIP that my sister paid as there seemed to be no 0% option only 15,20,25, and no total displayed on the screen of a very odd monitor. As she is from Ireland she paid as not familiar with the B & B billing here. I only saw the screen when asked for my e mail so was unaware of what had transpired until later. So along with the $15 we left for housekeeping on the bed the $434 total bill ,it became $499. I have e mailed the property for a refund but no money back yet . Said they would look at it .

    Location was quiet and close to the major tourist attractions. Breakfast was very good with ample choices. The home was very clean and beautifully decorated. Nice sitting room with coffee and tea available for guests at any time.

    We liked everything.

    The location is wonderful for the many different activities around that area. There are several places to explore in and around Port Union. The breakfast was heavenly and the host pays special attention to the details of your order. They even include a traditional Newfoundland bread - the touton- to give you an authentic experience. This place is wonderful and will charm even the harshest critic. We can’t wait to return.

    This attractive old house in the "ghost town" of Port Union has character and charm, and the owners make the effort to ensure your needs have been met. You will have to get back in your car if you want dinner, however (Bonavista is about a 20 minute drive from here). It's a beautiful part of the world.

    The Harbourside Inn is lovely. Our room had a water view. I learned Port Union is Canada’s only union-built town and it celebrates and maintains its history. Brad and Tanya, the owners, maintain traditions too. They’re very warm and welcoming. The rooms are well appointed and super comfortable. There’s a living room with a small library, board games, a TV and a selection of teas and coffees guests can enjoy anytime. The breakfast is second to none. Bravo, Chef Brad! We were within a 20-minute drive to Elliston, where we saw the Puffins up close and 20 minutes to the Skerwink Trail, which Brad recommended - both were experiences of a lifetime. The Harbourside Inn is fully booked into the fall, so it was meant to be when we were able to secure a last-minute reservation when our current accommodations didn’t suit us. I’d recommend this Inn to everyone.

    Copious breakfast; tasted our first traditional Newfoundland breakfast homemade by Executive Chef, Brad. Loved the Toutons. (Actually there were four menu choices). Spacious comfortable room overlooking the water. Just across the street from one of the GEODiscovery sites; fossils viewable at low tide. Tanya and Brad are friendly, efficient hosts. Would love to stay with them again.
