Homestays in Nova Scotia, Canada

We stayed here on the last night of our Nova Scotia trip because we wanted to be close to the airport. The rooms are beautiful. The check in process was kind of informal- we just had to go down to the bar and find a certain person, and paid her right then on a portable card reader. The reservation was done through email. It was kind of warm, as only one of the bedrooms had an a/c unit, and we didn't notice it at night. FYI, it's above the window and the remote is inside the desk! We stayed in the Thomas Suite, which has two bedrooms.It's on the top floor. I think the other rooms are smaller. There is a common area on the second floor where the coffee maker and microwave are. They had a few board games, a fireplace, couch and a balcony. There was cold water in glass decanters in the fridge, and all the glassware was chilled in the fridge as well. There was yogurt and juice in the common room fridge, and our breakfast consisted of muffins, fruit, and granola bars. It was noisy until the restaurant closed, but after that it was pretty quiet. The one drawback was getting there. It is on a busy road (we arrived at rush hour), and there is only one way in and out. The parking lot is kind of small, but there were a couple of spaces when we got there. Also, when we came in off the highway, our GPS instructed us to turn left at the stop sign, which was next to impossible. I gave up and turned right, and there is a roundabout about a block that way where you can make a U-turn.

The room is a one-bedroom and one-living room. There is a double bed in the living room, a sofa bed, and a kitchen. The sea view suite faces the harbor in the west, and you can watch the sunset on the balcony. You need to contact early for self-check-in. No one answered the phone on Ctrip. I contacted the merchant with another phone when I arrived at the site.

We absolutely loved our stay here! We stayed in one of the Sunset Cabins, and would highly recommend. Our cabin was clean and so beautiful inside — to say nothing of the unbelievable view outside the floor to ceiling windows! Our cabin didn’t have a full kitchenette (which we knew upon booking) but was stocked with virtually anything (and more) you’d need — coffee/maker, a fridge, cutlery, plates, wine glasses, napkins, etc. Check-in and out was so easy, and the staff were so helpful and friendly. The bed was really comfortable. And while there isn’t a full restaurant, we were able to get pizza for dinner, and homemade pie — they also had breakfast sandwiches and a few other items available. Would absolutely stay here again.

This place was perfection for our 30th wedding anniversary trip! This 1 bedroom cottage allowed me to get up early, make coffee, and watch the sunrise without waking up my husband! There was a coffee maker, full size fridge, and a full stove/oven in the room. We got our food at Sobey's in Fort Hawkesbury and grilled out on the gas grill on our porch while watching the light change on the bay. I loved this place and only wish we had stayed longer. For entertainment, we stopped at the Celtic Music Interpretive Center and had lunch. Then we proceeded to Mike's E Bikes and took a great bike ride!
