Peace at the end of the
road...nestled in the hills on a winding, quiet back lane, Fishers’ Loft,
a 4½ star
inn, overlooks the old fishing and boat-building harbour of Ship
Cove, where small fishing boats still come and go.
Fishers’ Loft is in Port
Rexton, one of 12 picturesque fishing outports dotted along the
rugged coastline between New Bonaventure and English Harbour on
Trinity Bay — the Trinity Bight. (See picture
gallery.)
An hour’s drive from Terra Nova National
Park and Golf Course, Bonavista and only minutes
from the bustle of historic Trinity, the famous Pageant and theatre
festival , restaurants, gift shops and boat tours.
From the Loft, you look
across the vast and ever-changing reaches of Trinity Bay. Closer
to home and rising from the approaches to Ship Cove is Fox Island,
once a fortification. Icebergs and whales, eagles and osprey are often seen from our shores.
It’s thrilling to see how many folks in the accommodations business truly care about offering guests a
sense-of-place experience. The hotels and inns that made it onto the list give back to the community,
work to conserve and sustain, and - day in and day out - celebrate the very best that their destinations have to offer.
