Big Garden was a great home-base for exploring Gros Morne. Our cabin was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the BBQ and deck at the end of the day. Great view of Bonne Bay! Our only problem was getting the wireless internet to connect - it would only work outside. Dora Decker was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our... More

We were so pleased with our decision to stay at Big Garden Cottages. The cabins were basic but spotlessly clean and very comfortable. For a temporary rental kitchen we found it very well-stocked, although there was only one morning's worth of coffee, so we picked some up in Rocky Harbour the next day. The view from the cabins is beautiful,... More

We loved our stay at Big Garden Cottages, cabin #5. The cottage looks out onto the scenic Harbour. Dora and her sister were very helpful. This is a very clean and spacious. We had two bedrooms with double beds, fully equipped kitchen, dining table and chairs, living room with TV and a nice bathroom. Very comfortable. Although dishes, cutlery, glassware... More

Stayed for 6 nights. Cottage was larger than expected. Very clean. We did not expect that EVERY kitchen utential would be available, nor is it to be expected that ANY foods would be supplied. We were told ahead that it would be best to get any groceries at Deer Lake on the way in as variety was not available locally.... More

We stayed in cottage #4 for 9 nights and felt right at home. The cottage was very clean and the mattresses were new and provided a good nights sleep after hiking the nearby trails. Dora provided the friendly down east hospitality that made our stay more enjoyable. We especially appreciated that our Wheaton puppy Mya was more than welcome here.... More

Honestly, I don’t understand why Big Garden Cottages was given such a high rating on this site. The cottages are clean, but they have just the basics and nothing else, no character at all. Only one small pack of coffee is provided along with 4 coffee filters and sugar (just enough for the length of our stay). There are no... More

This was the first place we stayed out of three places while on holidays, and by far our favorite. The place was great and the views spectacular! Nice evening walks along the water. Very quiet town. The cabin was very clean, very roomy, and we all slept very well. There was a bbq and a firepit. The owners were difficult... More

we stayed one week in cabin # 5 in late September of this year, 2011, and we loved it, quiet clean and with great views, a good location to day trip to Western Brook Pond, the Tablelands, and many features within a couple of hours of this location.

This place is fantastic. Located across from Neddie's Harbour with the Tablelands as a backdrop. Both sunrise and sunset views were spectacular. The cabin was very clean, very roomy and well equipped. It was quiet at night and we slept well. There was even a BBQ for grilling fresh fish that you can buy from the local fish market in... More

Big Garden Cottages are simply wonderful. We always stay in Cottage #5. The view is excellent. The cottage is immaculate. This cottage has one room with a brand new queen size bed and another with a double. The bathroom has a super soaker tub with shower. The cottage is equipped with all you need for a great stay. The cottage... More
