This was our favourite accommodation on our recent trip to Nova Scotia and PEI. The room with private bath was gorgeous. The hospitality was superb. Our host, Sandy, was charming and an outstanding storyteller. Breakfasts were a delightful and delish experience with Sandy serving in his kilt while Kathy baked croissants in the kitchen. Cannot speak highly enough about this memorable stay.

Very quaint, old-timey inn with hosts who were both friendly and accommodating. They made us feel right at home. I wanted the experience of stepping off a ship into a new land, and that’s exactly what it felt like—in the best way. Breakfast was wonderful, shared with a true Scotsman and his incredible hospitality. (Pack light as there is no elevator as it was built in the 1800's)

Upon arrival the exterior was less than promising. However, once inside the front door we were greeted by shining hardwood floors and super clean facilities. The proprietor, Dandy, greeted us warmly on the 2nd level and asked us to join other guests for a. Glad of wine. Very positive. Rooms were quaint and neatly outfitted. Great place.

The Inn operates more like a B&B than an Inn. Not a big fan of B&B's. Prefer a more private experience. Also, take the warning about the stairs seriously. There are a lot of them.

The hosts Sandy & Cathy were very welcoming. Once checked into our room we met them along with other guests on their beautiful deck & shared a complimentary glass of wine. Sandy shared many historic stories of the area, very interesting.The room & inn was very clean & the bed very comfortable. We were served an excellent continental breakfast the next morning, Sandy serving it in his kilt. The only issue we found was the air conditioning could have been functioning better on such a hot night.
