Brent & Wendy Lee were fantastic. So warm and inviting and eager to help us with dinner suggestions, tourist recommendations, and anything we could dream of to make us more comfortable. Their home is a beautiful gem and our room was large, comfortable, beautifully decorated (most of the artwork on display was painted by the two of them!) and the yard and gardens were spectacular. We appreciated being in the suburbs down a quiet lane and a little closer to the Halifax airport, it made our next day just that much easier and more relaxed. Breakfast was gourmet level. No expense was spared, no detail overlooked. Sugar cubes for tea? Sure but also rock candy swizzle sticks if you preferred! Beautiful garnishes on each plate. We had "Atlantic breakfast" tea, fresh fruit served with a dollop of yogurt and a hint of honey drizzle and chopped nuts, a cheddar chive biscuit with eggs and hollandaise sauce with a side of ham. Every bite was perfect. The only thing was slightly odd was the ensuite bathroom had a curtain instead of a door. It was very elegant, but didn't offer much privacy between the bedroom and bathroom. The giant whirlpool tub more than made up for that though, talk about WOW factor.

It is near nice places to eat, near the airport, and very easy to get to and from. On top of all of that, the place was absolutely beautiful, inside and out. We were very well taken care of.

Truly…read more We were in Nova Scotia for our honeymoon trip and had only planned the first couple of days and the last couple as well - leaving a bit of room in the middle for spontaneity. An internet search brought us to Oceanstone, which seemed like the perfect place to stay as we also wanted to check out Peggy's Cove too. We were lucky enough to secure one night and totally fell in love with the resort, pretty much at first sight. We had put in our booking comments that we were on our honeymoon, hoping we might get a really nice room. We were so pleasantly surprised to walk up to the kitchen in our super cute private cottage and find a lovely bottle of wine along with handmade, outrageously delicious sea salt caramels and a hand written note. To the resort, perhaps a small gesture but to us, it really make our stay that much more special. We really enjoyed our night's stay in our private cottage, which was just set behind the main lodge. The cottage was quaint, clean, and well appointed. We loved our small balcony just outside the living room area, we enjoyed our coffees out there in the morning. The bed was also super comfy too, like a cloud. We loved it there so much we inquired about staying a second night however sadly the resort happened to be fully booked for a wedding party the days immediately following our stay. We ended up eating at the restaurant on their property, Rhubarb, three times in just 2 days - it was so good. We enjoyed an early dinner when we first arrived, then ordered pizza as a "later" night snack then ordered take out the next day for dinner from the next cottage resort we ended up staying at just down the road. We also took a couple of lovely, calm walks along the ocean front during our stay which was so nice. The property is stunning and it feels like you are in another part of the world completely. Looking forward to someday returning again!

All this after having to listen to a staff member being rude to a fellow worker. When we were leaving the response was that the cleaner went home early! One staff member followed us out to apologize not like the colleague who was rudely yammering to her colleague. We followed up with a call and email and received a sorry. That too is not appropriate. A refund or something to try to make up for the disgusting state of the non sanitary change room would be an attempt to make things right. Sad situation caution on the change room conditions and less than satisfactory excuses.

The front desk staff were polite, but they weren't exactly handing out "happy to see you" vibes. Our room was comfortable, but housekeeping could use a little more attention. We found some debris on the carpet, a few spider webs in the corners, and a dead bug in the bathroom towel door. Nothing that ruined our stay, but enough to notice. We had a burgers and a house salad at the restaurant, and it was fresh and tasty. The only surprise was the price--$14 for what felt like a small handful of greens. I guess the lettuce had an ocean view too! Overall, we were happy with our stay because of the fantastic location and would consider coming back. With a friendlier welcome and a bit more attention to room cleaning, this place could easily earn another star.

The gift certificate was already paid for so eventually, she did let us in. We went to the blues show on Saturday night which had a buffet. It was the worst buffet and the worst tasting food I have ever eaten! The bands that played were great but they only played to about 50 people because that was messed up too. The room was ok but they did not have any wine glasses or products that they normally have in rooms. They had this tiny little round coffee machine that I've never seen before and we had to figure out how to use that. All in all for $518.00 we certainly did not get what we paid for. The only other positive thing I have to say is the bed was comfortable and we had a good sleep.

I wasn't very happy for the first night because it was in a less fancy hotel, but overtime i ended up liking it. our tv stopled working and we got free breakfast the next day (which I was fine with because I didn't need the television and breakfast was superb). the gym was amazing, it was just me and my friend for the whole hour and then we went to the pool, which stays open until 11pm. although it was an indoor pool, it had so many windows and we had a private pool because it was just us!! they also have a mini Starbucks in the lobby which was very useful (although closed in the afternoons which was also very inconvenient). it was in a very good location and I could walk to basically everywhere. my only two complaints we're that parking was not provided and was very confusing and inconvenient to access \\ they have three Marriott hotels in the same area so it is very confusing to know which one is the one you booked, apparently this is very common. very good price for the things provided.
