This was our favorite place to stay in Nova Scotia. The Inn was beautiful and our room luxurious. We loved the ability to walk to some great restaurants and shopping. It was also close to hiking the Ovens, Blue Rocks and sightseeing Lunenburg. We loved our stay

I liked the location. The unit was tastefully decorated, clean, comfortable and well located. Parking was available. My only concern was the price. Compared with what other properties were offering in the area, this one was expensive.

The property owners were welcoming and responsive. We were greeted by a onsite staff member who checked us in and showed us to our room. We were pleased to have a unit at the back of the property. Although there was no view of the bay, this was off set by having a fireplace, small kitchenette area, and a patio area. We were very pleased with the property.
