In search of a stay for a night in Port Hawkesbury, we decided in this B&B. We were told to come…read moreafter 6 or 7pm as the hosts were going to arrive from out of town. Upon entering the door my heart must have sank looking at the old house. I though this is going to be a long night. The welcome was warm and friendly and John was funny. Which was a relief. He showed us the bedroom which seemed older. But as we settled we came to grips that this must be a century home. The hardwood floors, the ceiling, the crown moulding, the railings outside, the bathroom. It can be a museum. The bed was OK, but the room had character. Overlooking the river and some side small rooms also rented by the same folks. Please refer to the pictures to believe it. The living room (parlour then) was amazing. They have pictures of the original owners. The house built more than 130 years ago!! We also told the host that we were vegetarian no eggs and a vegan. The host still made amazing breakfast for us. Blueberry Scones or biscuits were the best I have ever had. I could just pay them to eat those biscuits. Again the hosts were amazing. Newfoundlanders in Nova Scotia exceptional hospitality

We stayed at this place in Port Hawkesbury after booking online. There was a rather large group of…read moreus, and some were outside in the cabins. My family stayed in a unit in the house so I can only speak for it, but it was so adorable! The floors were a little creaky and I don't think soundproofing was fantastic, but the furnishings were old-school and very cute. The slanted ceiling, old wooden wardrobe, pictures and quilts, lacy curtains, and the washroom (with a shower and a separate old-style bathtub) had an adorable antique vibe. The size of the room was standard, but the washroom was quite roomy. I personally loved it! I believe it was a heritage house. It also had an amazing view of the harbour. Unfortunately we got in late and it faced west so we couldn't see sunrise, but I imagine sunset would've been spectacular! We also had breakfast there. If you're looking for fast grab-and-go this probably isn't the place (although I'm sure you can make arrangements), since there was just a couple as staff. However, the service was great and they were super attentive. The food was home-style and made on the spot to order, and coffee is freshly ground coffee beans pressed. It was a relaxing meal overlooking the beautiful view of the water. Would recommend a stay here :)

This is a gem of a bed and breakfast along the Sunrise Trail in Nova Scotia. Lovely rooms and…read moregreat homemade breakfasts, and also dinners if you plan ahead with the innkeepers. Situated in between New Glasgow and Antigonish NS. Very easy to find, you can see their red roof from a distance as you approach it! We traveled with our 4 year old son, the inn is perfect for families. They have 3 very personable dogs, a pack of alpaca's, a coop full of chickens, and a donkey named Danny. Beautiful property that has access to the beach, what a coast line! Stunning sunset views over the water, and the star gazing at night was beyond great. A very short ride down the road brings you to Arisaig Provincial Park, where you can walk along the beach and see fossils. We stopped as we were leaving Nova Scotia, Cape Breton and the Cabot Trail on our way back to the states. A good stopping off point for a similar road trip. Also close to Pictou and the PEI ferry. The innkeepers Josie and Jim are wonderful people with a gem of a home. Cannot recommend their hospitality enough!

We've added the Cliffside Inn to our bucket list as a place to return to! By far the best B&B we have stayed in!!

Fantastic stay at this very charming inn by the cliffside…read more I was looking for a nice bed and breakfast but had resorted to Airbnb since I was booking last minute, and was ecstatic when I came cross this place, checked out their tripadvisor reviews (#1 in the area) and just contacted Robert directly through the Cliffside Inn website. Conveniently located 5-10 minutes away from the PEI ferry, the breathtaking view of the waterfront and trees captures your heart as you drive up to the inn. We loved our two bedroom suite, which, while cozy, gave you balcony access and perfect view of the cliffs and ocean as the sun rose behind it each morning. The common spaces in the inn was comfortable as well, and Robert was a great host - very welcoming and prepared a wonderful breakfast each morning, and spent time with us to help map out our day to some fantastic off-the-beaten path spots of PEI. Highly recommend this inn, and definitely look forward to coming back.

We had a pleasant quiet stay at Haus Treuburg in the Suite Room, which was spacious, nicely…read moredecorated, incredibly clean, and comfortable. This room has a bath tub as well as a separate shower, and the room smells pleasantly like a faint touch of pine from the wood panels on the walls. Our hosts were quiet but friendly, not a chatty bunch like some B&Bs where we have stayed. Down by the water is a great strandkorb, imported from Germany, where you and your partner can sit with a beer or glass of wine and look at the water to relaaaax. There is no swimming in the water (too rocky), but it's still lovely to explore and take photos, watch the wildlife, and breath the fresh air. The only downside to the stay was that you had to pay an extra charge for breakfast. Granted, the breakfast was delightful, but it pushed our stay into a slightly more expensive zone than we had wanted.

We went to Guysborough on a whim. I don't remember ever being there and my partner hadn't been…read morethrough there in a decade--at least. Guysborough is a pretty village on the shores of Chedabucto Bay. Water sports abound! But I digress. Pepperlane is a block off the middle of downtown, so once you arrive, park your car and walk. There's a lovely patio for reading, contemplating, and snoozing. The lobby is simple and the breakfast room is off to the right. All of the guest rooms are upstairs and they are not accessible by wheelchair. Your welcoming committee could consist of the lovely Cali and Edgar, cousin Airedales, and most definitely will include either Elaine or Greg, your human hosts. The inn is a complete remodel. The staircase is wide, the halls are wide, and the walls straight, despite the building being over 100 years old. There's one suite with a dining area, fridge and microwave, and a private bathroom; two rooms with private bathrooms; and two rooms that share a bathroom. There's also a communal fridge and microwave for all guests to use, as well as an assortment of wine glasses. The shared bathroom has a tub; the rest have showers. TV, Internet, and bottled water are included. The bed was very comfortable and it's so quiet in Guysborough that getting to sleep isn't a problem. You pre-arrange your breakfast time when you check in. Don't be late! Your breakfast is ready for you when you said you wanted it, not a moment later. We had yoghurt, fruit, a lovely omelette with cheese and veggies, wheat toast, and lots of coffee. Elaine and Greg are great boosters of Guysborough and have a wealth of information about the town to help you get the most out of your visit. If I'm ever back in Guysborough, I'll stay at the Pepperlane.

What an enjoyable evening at the Tulloch Inn. This beautiful country inn is located on an…read moreabsolutely incredible lake. Our room, the balcony facing the water was ideal. This it the place you want to stay at particularly if you are looking for a quiet restful retreat. The dining room was closed for evening meals due to Covid. I erred and chose to go to Whycomough to eat. It was a drive and just about every eating establishment was closed. We would have fared better heading to Inverness. The breakfast in the morning was so very good. Fresh local fruit, the best coffee and homemade whole wheat pancakes with real maple syrup and butter. Quiet! The home is deep in from the road so there is absolutely no traffic. The walls between the rooms and floor are completely soundproof. Our hostess advised us that if we needed them in the evening we would have to phone. Their room was directly below us but there just is no noise transmission. If you are taking the ferry to Newfoundland I suggest you consider this place.

He finished by playing a tube on the fiddle. It was wonderful!
