The host was very nice and gave us great sightseeing info.
Our room was nice, with everything we needed, but it needed updating. The bay window needed work and the bathroom was out of date, with not enough places to hang towels to dry.

Owner was extremely accommodating and understanding with our late check in. He upgraded our room to make our room easier to find if he was unavailable when we arrived. Location was very convenient to catch the ferry to Digby. The room suited our needs- close to the ferry for early departure the following morning.

Dirty and run down. Unfriendly staff. Unless you are stuck and have no choice you can go here. Overpriced for a dump that it is.

Nope
It was advertised and a quaint little roadside inn, but when we got there it was dilapidated and unkempt. Looked more like a hostel type establishment. The owner was nice but we only stayed one night because it was sketchy and I didn’t feel safe.

The manager was so helpful and friendly, but the room just had a lot of minor glitches that added up to make it an annoying experience, even for the budget price.
