    Charming and elegant

    October 08, 2012

    Each room is beautifully appointed. Our room had twin beds and an area for sitting which was very comfortable. The bathroom was heavenly with a claw foot bathtub. And the breakfasts were so delicious! All in all our two nights at Hillsdale House Inn exceeded our expectations.

    A Treat in Annapolis Royal

    September 24, 2012

    An elegant and very comfortable Victorian inn. The staff is extremely friendly -- but not intrusive. The breakfast was one of the best! The inn is ideally located near to the historic gardens and to Fort Anne. A place to return to.

    Room 9

    September 20, 2012

    This is a beautiful place. The staff are wonderful and the breakfast is very good. However, this is one of the smaller rooms and very cramped. However, it is the cheapest room. My rating is of the mattress in this room. It was the worst mattress my husband and I stayed in during our weeklong trip to Canada and we stayed in more modest and cheaper places. The mattress was like a trampoline., very soft, squishy and you could feel every move each other made. We clung to the sides to keep from rolling into each other. I suggest it be replaced.

    Innkeeper Response
    We are most disappointed to learn that these guests found the bed to be uncomfortable. When it comes to mattress comfort preferences very and we have in fact had other guests comment that they slept very comfortably in this room, some of whom are repeat guests who choose Room 9 specifically. With regard to the room size, the reservation was made through our online reservation system where we do indicate that it is a smaller room. It is also one of our two lowest priced rooms taking into account the size. The room does however offer all of the same amenities as other rooms in the Inn.

    Fantastic Bed and Breakfast

    August 29, 2012

    We are extremely happy with our stay at the Hillsdale House Inn. The room was beautiful, clean and wonderfully decorated. The breakfast selection was excellent, and we would have to say the best we've ever had at a bed and breakfast. We will definately stay here again in the future.
