We had the most amazing time at Bayard’s Cove Inn. We stayed in the Nelson Suite, which was full of character, with a sea view on one side and beautiful Dartmouth on the other. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome, and that warmth continued throughout our stay. The breakfast was the best we’ve ever had, and the staff truly couldn’t do enough for us. Highly recommended!

Elegant and welcoming

Lovely touches in the room, handmade soap, face cloths, earplugs, little goodie bag on checkout. Team were all amazing. Lovely breakfast served with great coffee. Great spot right on the cove where you can sit and watch the boats come and go.
