Staying at this property felt like returning home. Greg, Belinda and Irene provided humor and warmth to our stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the food was plentiful and delicious. The property has old world charm mixed with beautiful artwork (much of which is created by the owners) and furnishings. There are several common sitting areas in which to read or chat. We didn't have time to partake of the pool. Perhaps next time. It is just a short car ride to Digby and the St. John Ferry. This inn offered everything I had hoped to find. I hope to return!

The innkeepers are great. The breakfast is excellent, my only complaint was that my room did not have a chair, and I had brought something back to my room to eat, a bit inconvenient. Just a simple wooden chair would have been helpful.
