Old World charm with New World amenities

The inn was an old traditional inn but with all of the modern amenities that you need to be comfortable. The WiFi and televisions worked great. The shower had plenty of hot water and everything was super clean. We had to leave very early and we were going to miss breakfast. The owner left bag breakfasts in the fridge so we could take them with us. The inn was a short walk to a beautiful cove and we got to observe a Bay of Fundy low tide. Overall a great experience.
