Greg & Belinda are magnificent hosts. This inn is a phenomenal place to stay - a beautiful location with so much great stuff close by. Accommodations are lovely and breakfast divine. They’re closing for the season now but if/when you get a chance to go you will not be disappointed!

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!
