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!

The motel portion is pretty much what you would expect out of a drive-up motel, and we did not get a chance to look at any of the cottages, though they looked nice. The rooms are clean and served us well for the night. There is no food service, so you will have to fend for yourself for food. Fortunately there are numerous places nearby. Room Amenities: - Cable/Satellite television - Mini-Fridge - Free Wi-Fi There is a supermarket within walking distance of the motel, as well as one of the ubiquitous Tim Horton's that are everywhere. Downtown in Pictou there are a number of restaurants that you can grab a bite to eat at as well.

This is a review that I've been dreading having to write, if for no other reason than I know…read morethere's very little I can say that can do my time at this stunning bed and breakfast justice. Having been very lucky to stay in some pretty incredible places around the world, there's no question that The Old Parsonage easily ranks within my top five. I was stuck looking for a place to get away for a couple of days to myself during which I could do nothing but write, drink wine, relax, and write some more. (And drink more wine...obviously.) After a chance meeting with one of the two owners, an artist himself who takes pride in offering a unique space for creativity, I was sold on the Maitland Suite and booked myself in for a two night, three day stay. When I finished the hour-ish drive from the city, I was floored to realize that I had the entire building to myself - meaning that my plans of being a recluse in my room for three straight days instantly changed to cozying up in any of the six to eight different sitting rooms that were all at my disposal. The fact that I was able to feel as comfortable as I would at home, except with infinitely more beautiful surroundings and gorgeous wood-fire heat, was unbelievable. From room to room, it's plain to see that not a single detail has been overlooked. Each space is a meticulous collection of shabby-chic décor that's both luxurious and liveable - that is, it's not a place where you feel uncomfortable spending the entire day and night. I lounged around like I owned the place, stopping short of napping in the middle of the main living room although I can't imagine that having been a problem... You won't have to rush out in the mornings in search of provisions either. I would make my way downstairs at my leisure to find fresh orange juice, coffee, toast, and scrambled eggs ready for the feasting as I chatted with the owners about life in the UK, our favourite cities around the world, and the importance of getting away from it all from time to time. Truly, I could go on and on, but I won't. Instead, I'll just say that before even leaving the premises, I had already arranged two more plans to return with family, and am already looking forward to my next writing escape. I can't imagine spending them anywhere else.

My wife quickly reviewed some bed and breakfasts in Prince Edward Island and managed to find the very accommodating Colonial Charm Inn. We were to leave Sunday morning, but were still undecided Friday night. Colonial Charm Inn agreed to hold our room until noon the next day when we would know better whether we could go. Luckily, we were able, and that was the beginning of a very memorable and pleasant 3-day stay at Colonial Charm Inn. At the moment of arriving, we were greeted by Jeff, who immediately made us feel at home. He was very friendly and helpful with any requests or advice that we needed during our stay. The Inn is an older home adorned with antiques, prints, and even a suit of armour or two! The decorating may not appeal to everyone, but we like the historic atmosphere. There was parking in the front or rear of the building. And because, we had expensive bicycles on the rack of our car, they allowed us to store them inside, so we need not strap and lock them on the car every night. Very convenient and safe. We were booked in The Charles Henry Foster Room. An en suite and balcony! The room was perfect. The antique 4-poster bed may not be the perfect comfort for some, but we were fine with it. Let's face it, it's not a high-end hotel. It's the high-end hospitality and charm that was worth every penny. The following morning we met Shelly, Melanie, Hannah, Reg ... and the friendliness and special attention continued. Everyone was very cordial and relaxed. They prepared a wonderful breakfast every morning during our stay. All very fresh and homemade. During our cycling excursions, sight-seeing, and dining out experiences, Reg and Shelly were equipped us with all the maps, brochures, as well as, great advice and recommendations. They could not have made it any easier for us, especially our 25th anniversary dinner arranged and booked for us at The Delta. That was one of (maybe the top two!) culinary experiences we had in our well-travelled lives. (Maybe another review for them) Thank you everyone at Colonial Charm Inn! We can not thank you enough.

Let me give it to you straight: if you are planning to vacation on Prince Edward Island (and you…read moreshould, especially you big city dwellers like me) a Bed and Breakfast is the way to go. A vacation experience here is a lot like one in Ireland; beautiful, green, pastoral, and friendly. Stay away from a hotel and let the locals take care of you! If you choose this route, I could not recommend Bonshaw Breezes more. Here's a breakdown of what I thought was great: 1. We stayed in the Mayflower suite, which is located in a two suite cottage that sits next to the main house. The room was clean and well decorated, with a comfortable bed. Although we didn't use it, there is a kitchen in this suite (I also happened to notice that it is FULLY stocked with kitchenware). The TV is a little smallish, but you aren't here to watch TV are you? It's a great room. I never saw the others so I can't comment on them. 2. The breakfasts were terrific. The hosts try to use local ingredients whenever possible, so not only is everything fresh, but you get to sample what the local produce and foods. The breakfasts were big enough that we needed no lunch. 3. The hosts, Dave and Sharon, are very friendly. I'm a bit curmudgeonly, but conversation comes very easily in this house. They clearly enjoy having many different people from all over sit at their table. And they are very helpful if you are trying to decide what to do or how to get there. 4. The house is in a great location in the hills. Beautiful grounds. So there you have it. Stay at Bonshaw Breezes. I loved it, I'm sure you will too.
