    From the moment of arrival to leaving, it was a superb visit. Our dinner included their wonderful Gingered Butternut soup and local sea food. The breakfast was also wonderful. We cannot recall better service anywhere in our international travels. We look forward to a future visit.

    Our first stay at The Cape Arundel Inn was in 2002. We have returned every year since and will be there again this year as well. There must be something that keeps us coming back!! This Inn deserves "Inn Of The Month" every month..
