Upper Humber Settlement a FarmStay B&B

Not fantastic. First the good: breakfast was local and superbly cooked ingredients. Ingrid is a treasure. The farm aspects which caused us to book were absent. A few ducks and geese; that's all. We might have had 5 minutes of the hosts' time where we usually find that interaction is part of the joys of b and b travel. It's fun to have them share info about the community or culture. In this case they might have outlined the farm or shown some animals. The land was strewn with debris, old machinery. The room was just big enough to allow passage around a double bed.

The hosts, Lauralee & Mark, are incredible. We really found a gem in this farmstay experience. We rented the entire house for several nights. We participated in the Farm & Forage experience in which Lauralee opened our eyes to the edible wild plants that we had no idea were so tasty. It was strawberry season; so, while we foraged for greenery, we also gorged on strawberries and learned about how their grown sustainably here. Then, we met in the gazebo to enjoy our harvest gleanings along with a local delicacy, cod cheeks, that Lauralee cooked for us. We also did the Farm to Table Dining Culinary Tour. Wow — the 4 course dinner was excellent and Lauralee again entertained us with a long, private story of local history.
One of the days of our stay we drove to Gros Morne National Park to do the Green Gardens hike. It's only a 50 minute drive to the trailhead.

A new-ish place near the Trans Canada Highway. We had a lovely Farm to Table with storytelling experience upon arriving. We were held up by road construction, but they waited for us. The breakfast was great. All meals used local ingredients, some strict from their own farm. It was a lovely time.

A group of us went to the Farm and Forage Experience and had an excellent time! Lauralee was a fabulous educator and we had a delicious feed of moose and foraged salad. Would recommend to anyone interested in nature and/or food or just looking for something new to try!

On our trip from flying in to Deer Lake and before heading into Gros Morne we had the pleasure to stay at Upper Humber Settlement.
Beds were cozy, space is well decorated, and had a great run in with lovely other travellers. Breakfast was lovely, farm fresh eggs and great company of the inn keeper :).
In the evening we hung out in the gazebo made of timbers milled on site, headed inside and sat about and strummed on the guitar in the main room while our baby slept — great acoustics!
The add ons were super great and well worth value added — we had the charcuterie board, participated in the farm and forage tour.
A working farm stay where there is farming taking place chickens, a pig, quail, logging, and market gardening all around.
Local food grown on site — fresh greens, herbs, strawberries, jams, jellies, delectable good things.
Well worth the stay if you are up for something neat.

Cozy bnb near Gros morne and deer lake. Love the concept, permaculture farming and their support of the local community. We stayed in the sunset suite. They have a total of 4 rooms and you can rent the entire house if you have a big party. There’s a market in the front of the house with farm fresh products including herbs and fresh chicken/duck eggs. We would stay again but def bring earplugs as this is a house after all and you can hear everything.

We just enjoyed a wonderful overnight stay At the Upper Humber Settlement B&B. We were most impressed with the amenities, cleanliness and hospitality extended by hosts, Mark and Lauralee. We highly recommend this very reasonably priced accommodation.

We had a great stay at Mark snd Lauralee’s farm snd B&B. They were so friendly and welcoming and gave us such a great experience at their place. We participated in their farm stay experiences which included fireside story telling, foraging through the forest and their garden and then cooking all the food over open fire outside. The final night was an excellent meal all made with produce and meat from their farm. We stayed in the moonlit loft and it was clean and spacious. The whole B&B was very comfortable, nice sitting areas. Ingrid cooked amazing breakfasts all with food from the farm. It was the nicest B&B we stayed at in Newfoundland! Thanks Mark and Lauralee for sharing your farm with us and your wonderful stories and experiences!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Upper Humber Settlement. A beautiful bed and breakfast situated on a sustainable farm. The owners Mark and Lauralee are clearly working hard to be successful. We enjoyed the Farm to Table dinner, the night we arrived. It was lovely. What an experience, combined with the spellbinding storytelling from Lauralee. She had us hooked from the moment she started. The four courses served with Newfoundland Auk wines were great. Every course was lovely and memorable. The room was very clean and comfortable. Our breakfast in the morning was great and cooked and served by a lovely lady. (I forgot her name, sorry). All the food was grown on the farm. What a great experience and one of the best stays we had in Newfoundland.

Truly a memorable experience. The farm to table dinner with storytelling was an experience in a class of its own. Lauralee told the story and is a natural story teller. She engages you and has you hooked on the story from the start. The meal, cooked by Mark was amazing. The room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was excellent and again hosted by a lovely lady who was very personable. A great stay and one of the best we had while in Newfoundland! Thank you both!

Wonderful evening of Farm to Table Dinner and Storytelling experience by Mark and Lauralee. This has been a highlight of our trip to Newfoundland! Our hosts Mark and Lauralee are welcoming and the dinner and storytelling experience was really special.
Their farm and B and B are worth a visit but we would highly recommend taking advantage of their experiences based stays!
Breakfast was delicious and everything we ate was produced on the farm. Ingrid cooked us breakfast and makes the homemade jams and preserves that are part of the breakfast. We are in a campervan for most of our visit to Newfoundland so we were able to stock up on fresh vegetables and preserves for our onward journey. Thanks so much!

We had a great time at the Upper Humber Settlement! We enjoyed a great farm to table dinner and a very informative tour of the farm! Lauralee and Mark are great hosts and their cat Oscar is a sweetie!

A gem tucked away off the beaten path to Gros Moraine Ntl Park in Newfoundland, definitely worth the detour. The hosts were welcoming and accommodating, rooms were clean and comfortable, the gourmet breakfast was a great way to start the day, and the special dinner that can be arranged came with a carefully curated pairing of wine or beer from a local brewery and a story of the history of the property narrated by the hostess. We had also reserved a foraging tour but due to rain the owner kindly gave us the option of cancelling. All in all, a memorable experience.

During our visit to Gros Morne, we immersed ourselves in a sustainable farm, foraged for our dinner, ate delicious breakfasts that were literally farm-to-table, and benefitted from 100% Newfoundland hospitality. Lauralee and Mark are gracious and passionate hosts and are building a farm for our future.
For those wishing to visit Gros Morne, note that this BnB is located over 45-minute drive to Rocky Harbour and the major hikes.

Pros:
Rooms were very nice.
Breakfast was great.
Owners were lovely.
Cons:
Wifi didn't work.
Fairly low water pressure.
Site was under some renovation and could have been organized in a more appealing way (some trailers in the front for example).
All and all, it's a lovely spot but could use a few small adjustments.

If you want a really unique experience, stay here. Hosts Lauralee and Mark are so down to earth. The B&B is on their farm, where they are self sustaining for various foods, veggies, pigs, ducks, chickens… If we are ever in that area again we would not hesitate to stay with them.

Don't know where to start! We had booked the moonlit loft, very comfortable with a great soaker tub. The common area is well designed with comfortable seating. Very nice hot breakfast to start the day. Lauralee is a super host! The charcuterie board was big enough to provide dinner for 2 … and the local craft beer was delicious!
