Jane [host] was very friendly and helpful. We arrived in the middle of a severe weather alert [rain and high winds], and just felt very comfortable. Room was excellent - fun to watch the wind , rain and waves outside our window.. Breakfast was great and the the company - another couple from Scotland] were most interesting. Before we left Jane gave us some tips on places to stop along the Cabot Trail.

Amazing!! There are not enough words to describe owner Jane and her beautiful and comfortable home. She was super helpful guiding us to our daily destinations, breakfasts were "over the top", and setting up the fireplace for a chilly night's fire warmed our hearts as well. The view of the water was breathtaking. We hope to come back some day soon!

We had a pleasant breakfast and the host was informative about the area but the rooms were cluttered with too much furniture, it was a bit disappointing due the pictures making the rooms look larger than they were as well as the grounds. It is also located on a main road into town, the noise put us off when trying to sleep.

A very unique B&B as the house was over 100 yrs. old and had been built by a sea captain. We had the captain suite which included a bedroom as well as a sitting room with a working fireplace. Rooms are full of antiques. Grand view of the channel to Sydney. Jane is very friendly and has a good knowledge of things to do for travelers. Excellent breakfast.

Our room cute, bathroom was private, very small, faced the street, no way to pull shades. Bed uncomfortable, only 2 pillows, glad we brought our own. No water in room, small coffee pot, but no water in room... other than bathroom. We brought our own bottled water! We received a call while driving & the host informed us there was a checkin window 3-7p! Didn’t know. She “let” us still come, but both my husband and I felt stress because of her tone on the phone. She told us she couldn’t meet us. Instructions on the house phone when we got there. Ice bucket had old water in the bottom when we arrived, we were there two nights. Didn’t expect beds changed, but to be made. Fresh towels were provided. Coffee in AM was awful... host made it clear we needed to ready for her Bf to be served at 08. Guests were assisting her and honestly plates served one by one made to group feel they had to wait for the last... I’m quite certain their food was cold by the time the 6th person was served. Another “helper” showed up to help the host, but wasn’t introduced. The parking was fine & view nice. The host initially charged us one night, we were leaving early... my husband had to go back in and remind her to charge us for the 2nd night as I realized when I saw my email total... she was ultimately paid in full. Hope I do not get extra charges on my CC.

A beautiful property overlooking the bay. Watched the ferry boats arrive in a lovely sitting room at the back of house. The owner was very gracious, we could make coffee, tea in the kitchen and enjoy the sitting room. Loved this B&B Highly recommended
