Inn By The Bay

What guests think

At Inn By The Bay, travelers consistently highlight warm, personal hosting and a charming historic setting with beautiful bay views, along with clean, cozy rooms and an easy walk to the Dildo Brewery and other local spots.

Breakfast is generally a continental spread enjoyed in a pleasant dining area, though several guests wished for more protein options. Common critiques include some rooms being small or warm with no air conditioning, a few having bathrooms across the hall, occasionally patchy Wi‑Fi, and limited parking when busy. Expect a friendly, homey B&B experience with bay views and walkable dining rather than full-service hotel amenities.

Very well appointed. Comfort is at the forefront… basket of Afghans in the sitting room for chilly evenings or sitting out on the deck, bottles of water in the room, board games, magazines. Fresh coffee, home made breads and jams. Warm, soft, clean bedding. Home is beautifully decorated with antique treasures. View of the ocean is stunning.

A beautiful home with beautiful decor looking out on the bay at Dildo. The room was huge and immaculate. Everything shone. The breakfast room was facing the bay and they had a nice selection of continental breakfast choices. Everything was served on pretty blue dragon china and I enjoyed my tea in real cup and saucer. Excellent peaceful stay. Thank you Tammy for the upgrade and your hospitality.

Our host called earlier in the day to confirm our arrival and review check in procedures during hours and after. When we arrived we were offered a free upgrade as availability allowed and our host gave us a tour of the home and dining options. Our room was cozy and comfortable. This property has a beautiful sitting area surrounded by windows… a lovely spot. Our host was welcoming and warm and was happy to chat and answer our questions. A lovely place to stay while in Dildo.

I checked in late as I was photographing a new wedding in the area. Upon arriving, the small parking lot was full, leaving me with no where to park my car without blocking another guest. I found my key in the mailbox and made my way to my room, which was clean, but small and very hot. Although it was in the listing, the room did not have a private bathroom but rather a bathroom across the hall. As I had just left a wedding with thousands of dollars worth of equipment, leaving my things in my room with nothing more than a door knob lock so I could to shower did not feel adequate, especially given the $170 cost. I ended up leaving and taking my chances with driving on the highway at midnight back to St. John’s.

Lots of attention to decor details in this lovely inn. Tammy, our hostess, was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and welcoming. Continental breakfast was lots of breads, bagels, muffins and good coffee. The Dildo Brewery, which serves dinner, is located directly across the street, which was convenient. A few little improvements would help: access to ice in the evening, a small fridge in the room, and more parking space. There is not enough room for cars in the small parking area behind the house when the inn is full and there is no parking on the road in front of the inn.

This property was across the street from the Dildo Brewery and has a beautiful view to the water. Our stay was lovely, and the manager Tammy was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Our only issue was the wifi was not always very fast or reliable and the cell service across Dildo is not the best. Just something to keep in mind, but fantastic for disconnecting for a while. Overall 5* stay and would definitely love to come back!

Absolutely loved our stay here. Elizabeth was amazing and went above and beyond to make our stay great. The property is quaint and has some character, parking available in the back, breakfast in the morning, and right access the street from the local brewery/restaurant which was convenient. The only downside to the stay was the wifi didn’t quite reach our room, however we could use it when we went over to the common space. Elizabeth had recommended a few spots in the area to hike/sightsee which were all beautiful. We’d love to return again in the future.

In a picturesque location over looking the water and a 2 minute walk to the brewery restaurant/museum/gift shop. Our room was quite spacious and had everything we needed. A bonus was being able to use the laundry. Breakfast was basic but more than adequate and the house-keeper (Tammy) was a delight. It is a well maintained period home and very comfortable. Would definitely stay again if the opportunity presented.

Stayed in the Reid room. This room is very small for 2 people and luggage. We had to take out what we needed and put our luggage back in the car. For the over $170 you pay, this is not worth it. There were no plugs for phones, watches, hearing aids, etc. No a/c but did have a fan. I had to unplug the tv to plug in the fan. VERY VERY HOT in this room. Your bathroom is across the hall. Very uncomfortable when there is another room right there with people coming and going. Not private at all. Town also shuts down at 5 and not open again until after 9. Was hoping for souvenirs but this obviously did not work out either. Very nice brewery however that is open for dining.

George room has the noisiest metal bed frame. There was no signs or information about breakfast. We left before breakfast happened because there was no information. Very disappointed. Turned out staff was supposed to give us more information but owner called to tell us after we left.

Breakfast is sugary cereals & bread etc. Main dining room is attractive. Staff (Tammy) doesn’t show the warm hospitality for which Newfoundland is renowned although cleaning person was very nice.
