Our read

A named family house on the Burin tip, with suites outside the main building, real gardens, and the St. Pierre ferry ten kilometres away. The page earns its place because the story and the site match: Abbie-Belle’s gardens, Bruce and Donna as hosts, and published rates for five distinct rooms.

Come here for

  • Travellers pairing Grand Bank with a St. Pierre ferry day
  • Couples who want a private suite and sundeck, not a shared-house B&B feel
  • Small families who need the Grande suite or the private RV

Skip it if

  • You need a stay outside May through October
  • You want resort dining, a spa, or a hotel lobby
  • You prefer not to walk from an outbuilding to the main house for breakfast

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

01 - Arrive

The place itself

Abbie's Garden is a father-and-daughter bed and breakfast in Grand Bank, on Newfoundland's Burin Peninsula, about ten kilometres from the ferry to St. Pierre et Miquelon. The house was built as a private family home in 1997. After Abbie-Belle passed away in 2012, Bruce opened the first suites above the garage and named the place for her gardens. Donna later came from Ontario to run the inside of the house with him. This is not a B&B inside the main house. Five suites sit in three buildings outside: the Loft (Ocean Side and Garden View), the Cottage (Grande and Petite), and a private 32-foot two-bedroom RV at the back of the property. Each suite has its own walk-out to a sundeck over the gardens. Season runs May through October. Breakfast is a full hot meal in the main house, daily from 8 to 10am (from 7am when guests are catching the 9:30am ferry). Homemade tea biscuits and jam, yogurt, pancakes, bacon and eggs to order, juice, coffee or tea. Fresh eggs come from their hen house. Guests share Wi-Fi, individual A/C and heat, four-piece en suites (three-piece in the RV), hypoallergenic duvets, Egyptian cotton linens, robes and slippers, laundry, and a BBQ. There is a fire pit out back when the weather allows, and a walking trail cut behind the hen house. Around the property: six Burin Peninsula trails, kayaks and zodiac tours from New Age Rentals, Grande Meadows golf, the Seamen's Museum, Grand Bank Regional Theatre, and the day ferry to St. Pierre on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Three nights or more take 10% off the stay on their book-now page. Front desk hours are 8am to 8pm. Call (709) 832-4473 and ask for Donna or Bruce.
