Very nice inn, although in need of some renovations (holes in screens, plants taking over outside side stairs, baseboards could use some refreshing paint). The staff is extremely friendly; breakfast is delicious; bedroom (#7) was roomy with nice accomodations

Bad expérience with Hotel.com

I asked Hôtel.com to cancel my reservation 3 days before and they can’t join them. They finally asked them to cancel my reservation one day later, and I had to pay one night…………

Comfortable inn

We stayed in the family suite which was quite large and very comfortable. It was really appreciated after being on the road for awhile. Location is just a short drive to Digby and Annapolis Royal with a walking trail next to property.
