Amazing summer stay!!!…read more We had the absolute pleasure of staying in the Winchester House of the Harbourview Inn for August of 2020 and we can hardly wait to go back next year! Our unit came with a fully equipped kitchen (including a dishwasher), a washer dryer and even a whirlpool bathtub. Our room was quaintly decorated and the bed very comfortable. We loved having breakfast on the side patio and Greg and Belinda even supplied us with a bbq for our month long stay. We received excellent value for our stay. We made sure to explore the local walking paths and swam in the pool daily. We also enjoyed beachcombing and the playground daily but the true icing on the cake were Greg and Belinda. They were incredibly helpful and friendly to make sure we got to enjoy all the local hidden treasures of Smiths Cove and the surrounding areas.

No complaints - the rooms were clean and the bath/shower was great and I'd stay there again. There…read moreis a view of the harbor but this definitely not a waterfront property. Quick notes are the third floor suite is very nice but there's no elevator so if you have any problems climbing three flights with luggage keep that in mind and the "private pool" isn't on the same property as the actual house, you need to walk a hundred meters or so down the road.

A small B&B just meters from the waterfront and the downtown, such as there is in Digby. The owner was all you could ask for, helpful and friendly without being intrusive. Our room was clean and well appointed. The hot breakfast in the morning was very nice, coffee was great. All in all a great place to unwind at the end of the day and look at your pictures from whatever adventure you went on. I highly recommend the Bayside and would stay there again.

Breakfast was served at 9 and we were served the beat waffles I have ever had!! Bacon was cooked to perfection and the array of fruit was beautiful. Location is ideal. We will be recommending this to our friends. Thank you for ending our trip to Canada in a high note.

I would actually like to give this place 4.5 stars, but since I can't, I rounded up rather than…read moredown because this place is lovely. I had the room closest to the water and it was amazing. Huge windows and a private balcony made it the perfect place to sit with a glass of wine as the sun went down, and being able to look over the water. The bed was SO comfortable, and it was a wonderful setup. I easily could have stayed there for days. Breakfast is served at 7:30 and 9, and was really delicious the day I stayed. The owners were lovely people who had lots of brochures about places around the area. I would only knock off half a star because the cleaning crew started cleaning my room while I was at breakfast, even though I was checking out that morning. I had to wait for them to finish so I could pack and finish getting ready, and then they were irritated with me that they had to go back in and clean again. Clearly miscommunication on their part, and not a huge deal, but it was definitely a little irritating. I'll definitely come back here again.

Our room, the maroon room, was decorated in Victorian style that some would call dated, but fits with the rest of the house. The hosts, Maria and Bob, are very pleasant and will chat with you as much, or as little as you want. The maroon room is very spacious and has a wonderful view of the basin and the property's gardens. It also had cable TV and free wifi. Bob is a retired executive chef and it shows in the quality of the complimentary breakfast. The cranberry scones were wonderful, especially with some of the lemon curd. Strawberry muffins were next and they were fantastic. Better still was the absolutely flawless egg Benedict. This was one of the best I've ever had. $95 taxes in for all this, who could ask for more?

We didn't, but there was one going on when we got there. Innkeepers Val Peterson & Paul Stackhouse made us feel like family...and eavesdropping on the conversation with the bride and groom, I know they felt special too. Each room is beautifully decorated with antiques and every morning you are greeted to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and muffins and scones baking in the oven to go along with a full breakfast served in the very formal dining room. The room may be formal, but the atmosphere is very relaxed. I really can't wait to go back! One word AWESOME or maybe EXTRAORDINARY. Just remember they are open from April 1-November 30. Even they need a break sometime.

This house is definitely more an "inn" and less a "B&B" due to its size, but all the same, it was a…read morewonderful stay, and the breakfast was great. The house is like a comfortable museum - beautifully decorated with antique items, but you don't feel like you're in a "no touch" zone. The hostess was super friendly and extremely accommodating, especially when we told her we would miss breakfast because we had to leave a little early to go whale watching. She and her staff started breakfast early and still fed us a full feast! It's centrally located, an easy walk to the center of Annapolis Royal but still a bit quiet and tucked away. We stayed in Room 2, which has a wonderful bed (comfy and quiet) and a large free-standing tub perfect for soaking in. The only complaint is that we're a bit sensitive to noise on a road, and this room is at the front of the house, so you can hear the cars moving along. However, the house is set back from the road, so it's not a considerable annoyance, and there is not much that the Inn can do about that. As it is, they do have an AC unit in the room, so it's easy to keep windows closed. Room 2 has a great free standing bathtub and a comfy and quiet bed. You don't share a wall with any other guests since the bathroom separates your bedroom from other guests, so it's very private.

Only about 200 metres from the shores of St. Mary's Bay, the view is captivating. Their hospitality is exceptional, not to be exceeded by their lobster omelet! Absolutely the best breakfast I have ever had!! Evening conversation led to Norm pulling out his guitar and playing some of Neil Diamond, with superb backup provided by Renette. What a duo!! He sounds just like ND. They even provide a kitchen party, upon request! Their advice in getting around the area, was perfect. In their porch, there is a small plaque that says "Enter as strangers, leave as friends" and, I feel that is exactly what we did. Thank you for giving so much of your time and energy! Grateful guests, Donna & Yvette

I actually, do not…read morewant to write of the great experience I had at the Pines this Christmas, because I would like to keep the secret of this gem all to myself. All the staff were exceptional. All the servers were excellent; attentive, caring, thorough, and knowledgeable about the menu, buildings, and amenities as well as nearby attractions. Those that served our meals at different times and those I watched serving other clients displayed such traits and knowledge. All the guests were relaxed and enjoying the meals with smiles and conversation. Maintenance staff kept the whole place clear of snow, shoveled and salted, all while being friendly and responding to any questions or concerns. The staff of the Digby Pines were engaged, motivated, and worked well between departments, all together creating an amazing team and providing a fantastic experience. To all the staff, those seen by the guests and those working behind the scenes supporting, well done to the whole team. You made our experience forever memorable. The atmosphere at the Digby Pines was special. The Digby Pines is a fine, Grand Hotel of Nova Scotia. The buildings are well maintained and have great aesthetics. I cannot imagine how much time the staff put in to decorate the Hotel for Christmas. It could easily be seen that a great deal of care and forethought went into the effort. The final effect was beautiful and relaxing. I saw a lot of guests photographing so much of the Hotel and the decorations. For those who put it together, a big pat on the back, you all certainly can take pride in the positive reaction of all the guests. My daughter was able to enjoy the Spa while she was there. She was raving to all her friends and family when she returned about how special the staff was, and how well they took care of her. She was especially pleased with the haircut, style and treatments she received. Of course, the food and the ambience of the restaurant were fantastic. There is so much I want to write about the dining experience; the food, the staff, the décor, really must be experienced first-hand to truly understand how satisfying all the meals were. Relaxing contentment on each occasion. Once again, this is achieved by exceptional staff with knowledge, experience and teamwork. Such teamwork reflects good leadership at all levels. I could go on far more about the many great experiences I and my daughter encountered at the Digby Pines; the staff, the food, the atmosphere was all so marvelous. Maybe the best way to write of my encounter is to say, I so want to, and will come back to, the Digby Pines, again and again.
