The Harbourview Inn is a delightful place! The setting is lovely, our host, Greg was very warm and friendly and the room was clean and well-appointed. The beds were super comfortable and we slept great! Unfortunately, our stay was far too brief to enjoy all the inn had to offer, but I would highly recommend this place and book here again with plans to stay longer!

Nice and quiet stay!
Very nice bed and breakfast. They packed us an early morning breakfast to go as we had an early whale watching excursion the first day. Utilized the pool - water was nice with a view of the bay. Enjoyed sitting on the front porch with a glass of wine!

Quaint heritage b&b
Beautiful building and ground well kept to its heritage. Rooms are not spacious but authentic to the time. Outdoor pool is great, a little cool though. Beach just a short walk where my daughter enjoyed beach coming. Irene was a great host and even let us borrow jackets for whale watching! We saw her in a local restaurant later and she made a point of coming by and saying hi. Breakfast in the morning was amazing by the windows. We loved it here! Short drive to Digby.
