Newfoundland and LabradorDiscover many of the attractions and activities which draw tourists to Newfoundland and Labrador in rural areas of the province. That also happens to be where many Bed-and-Breakfast gems are located. You’ll be able to enjoy your visit on a number of levels, and your hosts will be a key part of this. There’s nothing like local knowledge – the location of a hidden beach, a trail to a great lookout, where to buy fresh fish, what’s happening at the church hall tonight. And the stories! You’ll remember them and re-tell them when you go home. And great memories, after all, are what makes a vacation special.
