Ferryland Hotels: Where to Stay in Newfoundland and Labrador

Ferryland is a small community on the Irish Loop, on the southeast coast of the Avalon Peninsula. The town has a short lodging list. We found no large hotel and no roadside motel in Ferryland itself. Instead, you can book bed and breakfasts, heritage houses, and vacation homes. These are the hotels in Ferryland we found. This guide covers every place we could confirm, flags the gaps, and drops old listings we could not verify. Rates change often, so we do not quote them. Call each host before you plan your trip.

Hotels in Ferryland: What You Can Book Now

Dunne’s Bed and Breakfast

Dunne’s Bed and Breakfast is the best reviewed place to stay in Ferryland. The house stands at 386 Baltimore Drive, on Route 10, in the historic part of town. Call 709-432-2155. The Newfoundland and Labrador tourism site lists four oceanfront rooms. Each room has a private ensuite bath. The listing allows a maximum of two guests per room and says cots and foldout beds are not offered.

A full breakfast comes with your stay. Tourism listings also name Wi-Fi, a fireplace, laundry services, an iron and board, and a balcony or deck. Tripadvisor shows free parking and family rooms as well. Guests there rate the property 4.9 out of 5 across 104 reviews. They praise the hosts, the clean rooms, the breakfast, and the harbour view.

The season matters. The tourism listing gives dates of June 1 to September 7 in 2026 and June 1 to September 3 in 2027. Dunne’s is a seasonal property, so you cannot book a winter stay there. The listing does not state check-in or check-out times. Ask when you call.

Home by the Sea B and B

Home by the Sea B and B sits at 19 Holsworth Lane. The tourism listing gives two phone numbers, 709-432-2631 and 709-219-1557. The site lists three rooms with private baths or ensuites, including rooms with two beds.

This is the only bed and breakfast we found with year-round opening, from January 1 to December 31. The property sits on 12 acres of fields, meadows, and ocean beaches. The listing names a fireplace, Wi-Fi, a kitchenette, laundry services, a BBQ, a playground, and a deck. The listing also allows pets and includes a full breakfast. Check the pet rules and the winter schedule by phone before you book. The listing does not give check-in or check-out times.

The Valley House Ferryland

The Valley House is a heritage home at 10 Valley Road, in the centre of Ferryland. The tourism listing describes a four-bedroom house built in 1898 and restored. The O’Keefe property won a Heritage Designation in 2015. Call 709-363-2447 or 709-363-7298.

The listing names an ocean view, a kitchenette, a BBQ, Wi-Fi, laundry services, an iron and board, and a deck. The listing says the host, Rhonda, is a fifth-generation Irish Newfoundlander who offers local tours and experiences. Tourism listings show year-round opening. An Airbnb page also lists the house, so two sources agree the property exists. Ask the host about check-in times and how many guests the rooms hold.

The Ferryland Red House

The Ferryland Red House is a five-bedroom vacation home at The Downs in Ferryland. The tourism listing gives the address as 63-195 The Downs and the phone as 709-687-7864. The listing names a deck, a BBQ, a fireplace, Wi-Fi, a kitchen, laundry services, and an ocean view. The listing also allows pets.

An Airbnb listing for an oceanfront five-bedroom Ferryland Red House matches the tourism entry. A whole house suits a family or a group of friends better than a single room does. Confirm the pet policy and the booking rules with the owner.

Arc of Avalon and Celtic Rendezvous Cottages

Tripadvisor lists two more Ferryland properties. Arc of Avalon appears as a bed and breakfast with a 5.0 rating across 17 reviews. Celtic Rendezvous Cottages appears as a cottage listing with a 4.2 rating across 54 reviews. A separate Celtic Rendezvous By The Sea RV Park listing also turned up in our search.

We found only one source for each, and we could not fetch an official page. We cannot confirm the address, phone number, season, or current status of either property. Treat both as unconfirmed. Search for the current contact details and call before you count on either one.

Where to Stay in Ferryland: How to Choose

Your trip style should decide your base. Pick one of the bed and breakfasts if you want a host, a cooked breakfast, and a quiet room. Pick a vacation home if you travel with a group, want a kitchen, or plan a longer stay.

Season is the biggest factor. Dunne’s closes after early September. Home by the Sea and the two heritage houses list year-round opening. The Colony of Avalon runs its main programs from June to October. Most visitors come in summer, so book early for July and August.

We found no chain hotel in Ferryland. Travelers who need a front desk, a pool, or a motel-style room should look in the larger towns on the Avalon Peninsula. We did not source distances to those towns, so check a map and call ahead.

Motels and Other Lodging Near Ferryland

We found no motel in Ferryland. Older guides and booking sites may still list motels, inns, or hotels with a Ferryland address. Do not trust those listings until a property confirms its status. The tourism board lists the places above, and Tripadvisor lists three lodgings in town.

The Irish Loop passes through Bay Bulls, Witless Bay, Cappahayden, Calvert, Cape Race, Portugal Cove South, and Trepassey, according to the tourism board. Travelers who cannot find a room in Ferryland may look in those communities. We did not verify any property in them for this guide, so we make no promise about rooms there.

Hotels Near the Colony of Avalon

The Colony of Avalon is the main reason to stay in Ferryland. Lord Baltimore founded the colony in 1621. Today archaeologists uncover 17th-century house foundations and a cobblestone street, and the interpretation centre displays thousands of artifacts. The site stands beside the East Coast Trail, directly off the main road into town.

The foundation lists tours at 9:00 AM, 10:30 AM, 12:00 PM, 1:30 PM, and 3:00 PM. Tours typically last an hour and a half. The site lists a 2026 season of June to October, but its FAQ says mid-June to mid-September. Check the dates before you travel. Archaeologists work on site for about eight weeks, usually late June to mid-August, and the dates depend on permits.

Dunne’s B and B lists the Colony of Avalon dinner theatre as a two-minute walk away. Visitors can also join a dig program of one hour, a half day, or a full day. Register ahead on the foundation website, because spaces are limited.

Things to Do Near Your Ferryland Hotel

The Ferryland Lighthouse stands on Ferryland Head. The tourism board says the lighthouse dates to 1870 and has been restored. Lighthouse Picnics operates there. Guests order a basket and eat on the grassy hill above the sea. One travel writer reports a 24-hour minimum notice for orders and picnics from Wednesday to Sunday in summer. Check the current schedule with the business.

The walk from the Colony of Avalon site takes about 20 to 25 minutes on a gravel trail, according to the tourism board and a picnic provider. Another writer measured about 2 kilometres from the parking lot at the end of the lighthouse road. Wear sturdy shoes and allow extra time.

The East Coast Trail has an entry point in Ferryland. The tourism board describes an easy 5 kilometre hike on the Caplin Bay Path to Calvert. The old courthouse holds a museum with holding cells. The Shamrock Folk Festival draws music fans, and summer brings dinner theatre and musical events.

The tourism board also says the lighthouse is a place to spot whales, seabirds, and icebergs. Humpback and minke whales feed in the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, and whale and seabird tours leave from Bay Bulls and Witless Bay.

Getting to Ferryland

The tourism board says Ferryland lies about 60 minutes from St. John’s on the Irish Loop, Route 10. The Colony of Avalon site gives the same route, NL-10 South, and says signs point the way. A car is the practical choice because the lodging sits spread along the coast.

Road conditions can change, so check 511nl.ca before you drive, especially in winter.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We confirmed Dunne’s B and B, Home by the Sea B and B, The Valley House, and The Ferryland Red House through the Newfoundland and Labrador tourism listings and a second listing site. We took the Dunne’s ratings and amenities from Tripadvisor. We took Arc of Avalon and Celtic Rendezvous Cottages from one source only.

We dropped The Ferryland Plantation, Ferryland Cottages, The Bread and Cheese Country Inn, Country Haven B and B, and Dildo Brown’s Restaurant and Cabins from the old version of this guide. We could not verify The Ferryland Plantation or Ferryland Cottages as lodging in Ferryland. The other three sit outside Ferryland, and we could not confirm Country Haven or Dildo Brown’s at all.

None of the tourism listings state check-in or check-out times. We could not confirm rates, so we list none. Confirm every detail with the property before you travel.
