Queen Anne Inn

We stayed at the Queen Anne Inn in October of this year. This is the second time we've stayed there and both times we totally enjoyed it. The ambiance there is wonderful, so Victorian, it's like taking out just a little time out to travel back into the past. The bathrooms are modern and well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. Greg's breakfast the following morning was very tasty and Julie is efficient, charming and full of information. I would strongly recommend this beautiful historic home as a place to stay in Annapolis Royal!

Over the years we have stayed at the Queen Anne a number of times, and it remains a favourite destination. It just has a "good vibe", partly due to the graceful architecture of that era, and partly due to the laid-back innkeepers: first Leslie, and now Greg. Some B&B owners are ever vigilant for you to put a foot wrong, but Greg trusts that his guests will behave as responsible adults - and so we do! Breakfast is yummy, although skimpy on the home fries :) Make sure you take in the ghost tour while you're in Annapolis Royal. Other musts: Historic Gardens, Fort Anne and a stroll along the riverfront boardwalk.

Stay in Annapolis Royal just to stay at this property. Gregg and Julie the best at everything including Gregg's cooking.

Stayed for just 1 night and we did not want to leave. The hosts were very friendly and made us feel right at home. Felt like we had stepped back in time. Breakfast was fabulous with lots of choices. Greg was an amuzing host and made us laugh. He is a great cook and was prepared to make what ever we wanted for breakfast. Julie was an exceptional hostess who shared her knowledge of the homes history. Hope to go again some day.

We have stayed twice and will again. The hosts provided the best breakfast yet, and went out of their way to prepare wonderful gluten free menu items for me. Highly recommend.

I have stayed at this Inn on several occasions over the years and am never disappointed.

Julie & Greg run a very efficient Bed & Breakfast! The meals were marvelous! Great location as it is walking distnace to all the neat little shops on main street. Thanks for a great visit to Annaplois Royal!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this exquisite property. The rooms were well appointed , furnished in antiques, and a very comfortable bed. Breakfasts were exquisite! Julie and Greg were warm and hospitable.

We throughly enjoyed this big beautiful home and the landscaping. What a neat location - close to the beautiful Historic Gardens. The breakfasts were wonderful!

We stayed here for two days in September. Originally we had booked a cabin but once Greg realized we were a couple, he found us a room more applicable to us. Breakfast was delicious. Greg was full of tips and ideas for things to see in the area including places that weren't worth the trip. The room itself was large and well appointed. There were two things that weren't ideal. The first is that the bed should be replaced. There has a big bump between my husband and myself. The second is the shower is rather eccentric due to the house's age. I don't know if that's fixable.

My husband and I spent 2 nights at the inn to tour Annapolis Royal and celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary. The Queen Anne Inn is exceptional in every way and our stay was everything we were hoping for. The Inn is beautiful and each of the rooms are uniquely decorated and very comfortable! Greg, the Inn Keeper is very gracious, with an excellent sense of humour and went above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. We enjoyed a wonderfuly delicious dinner and breakfasts were exceptional. We will definitely return to this wonderful inn and highly recommend it.

Everything was great! They owners even made dinner for us one night when we were playing bridge!

A delighful historic inn within a delightful historic town. We left before breakfst to make the Digby ferry and the hosts, whom we never met, provided us with a full breakfast to go in a bag to get us off in the morning. How considerate. Everything exceeded our expectations including re-arranging our reservations to accomodate our changed schedule. No hassel, no drama. Frank & Judy Foley,

Beautiful spot, Room was great as was the service and food was outstanding.

everything surpassed our expectations! It was like stepping back in time - a gorgeous room in this grand Victorian mansion. We were welcomed by Greg, who even showed us the kitchen so we could help ourselves to beverages. I had medicine in the fridge and even the staff made me feel welcomed and at home. We wandered the gardens, enjoyed contact with the other guests - something that has not happened in other places we stayed. The dinner and breakfast were delicious. They packed up muffins for us to take with us since the breakfast was so filling. We loved visiting with Julie and Greg and will hold the memory of this special stay at Queen Anne Inn for years and years. The Merrimans

The owners were open, friendly, informative and had a great sense of humor. The service was outstanding and the food was incredible - not only delicious, but presented artfully. I would highly recommend a stay at the Queen Anne.

My wife and I enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Queen Anne Inn very much. The service during the evening meal was great! Breakfast was yummy. They were also very accommodating: We left the inn on the Sunday morning before Laborday to catch the car ferry from Digby to Saint John. Even though we couldn't stay for the full breakfast, they packed us a "to go" breakfast. We would go back again.

Breakfast was absolutely delicious. Owners very friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful inn. It's been lovingly redone without losing any of the historical charm. The room was large and romantic. Romantic enough for a proposal! The grounds are also very lovely and we saw real live frogs on the lily pads in the pond. I would recommend this inn to anyone looking for old world charm with modern amenities.

We love taking out of town guests to this Inn as it is beautiful, historic, good nights sleep and includes a completely homemade breakfast. We always do the Night Graveyard Tour with the period costume guide complete with candlelit lanterns to show us the way. Even though we've done this 3 times before, we always learn a new tidbit of info. The Queen Anne arranged for us to do a whale watching tour on Brier Island the next day after our delicious breakfast. It is always a truly memorable visit for us and our guests.

We stayed at the Queen Anne inn for two nights in August. Beautiful old inn with great rooms - all filled with period furniture. Breakfast was much better than you would get in most B and Bs. Fresh fruit, good coffee, choice of main dish. We also had dinner here and the food was delicious. Easy walk to the town. Would highly recommend.

We stayed in this lovely Victorian house for two nights during our tour of south Novia Scotia. it is conveniently situated close to the Historic Gardens and Fort Anne. The house is furnished (if not over furnished) with Victorian furniture and memorabilia. Our room and bathroom were amply proportioned and very comfortable. The two highpoints were the garden in which to relax and the dining which was superb. From our viewpoint it would have been interesting to have had a single centre table rather than individual tables but different people have different views on this subject. Our hosts should be complimented on the way in which they run the business.

julie and greg were just delightful. The food was --Fantastic. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Ted And Mary

Charming house and gardens. Innkeepers are wonderful. Lovely stay!

The Queen Anne Inn is by far the nicest B and B we have ever stayed in. Every thing was perfect, the food was way over the top. The breakfast alone was unbelievable. Our room gave you the feeling that you were staying at Buckingham Palace. Spotless. Our hosts Greg and his straight woman (Julie) just could not do enough for all of the guests. Their laughter and humor made the stay all the more relaxed. You felt as if you were just having dinner and relaxing with good friends. You must try The Queen Anne because you will never experience the splendor anywhere else. Bert and Ellen

Queen Anne is a lovely inn. It is conveniently located near the Historic Garden and the town. The interior is beautiful with several nice sitting rooms for guests and a sweeping staircase. Our room was large and beautifully appointed. Breakfast was multi course and made to order. I would definitely stay here again. The owners delight in their inn, it is clear that they love it and enjoy running it also.

This was our first stop of a week-long vacation to celebrate our 30th anniversary. What a good choice. From the stemmed glasses in the room, the comfy chairs in the 2nd floor hall nook where we enjoyed the first of many bottles of champagne, to the unexpectedly delicious, hot breakfast the next morning - it was a real treat!

Clean, beautifully decorated, quiet, close to town and a nice trail behind the well kept property. Hosts were very helpful. Food was excellent. I would highly recommend this BnB to anyone who want a high quality place to stay with a great cook to order breakfast and helpful informative and friendly hosts.

We had a great time in Annapolis and our stay at the Queen Anne was fantastic. We would stay there again and have recommended it to friends and family.

This was the second stay for us at the Queen Anne and did not disappoint. Stayed in Room 7 - huge comfy bed, sitting area and big tub. Dinner in the dining room was great (Digby scallops..hello!!) and the breakfast in the morning (included with the stay) was delish. Since it was Natal Day weekend, we were lucky enough to be able to enjoy the fireworks which were very impressive for a small town. Thanks Greg and Julie...we'll be back!!

Lovely B&B, friendly staff. Very efficient and accommodating.

We had a beautiful large room with bay window looking out on the garden. You are made to feel very welcome by the lovely owners - you can help yourself to ice, wine glasses, etc. and make yourself comfortable in either of two sitting rooms, one of which has a piano. Food is delicious, both breakfast and dinner. The Inn is within an easy flat walk of 10 minutes to town centre, 5 minutes to Fort Anne, and 2 minutes to the Historic Gardens.

very pleased with the entire experience and would recommend highly

We have stayed in numerous similar inns all over North America during the past 20 years but this was our best experience. The owners run a very hospitable establishment with high quality period furniture and furnishings. We would and will recommend to our closest friends if they ever embark on a Nova Scotia Odyssey. RJD & PD Ealing, London, UK

I've driven by this beautiful inn a hundred times. Even though I have a beautiful ocean front cottage nearby, I've always wanted to stay there - so we did. The rooms were beautifully appointed without having too many knick knacks. The king size bed was very comfortable! The staff were friendly, couteous and willing to help with anything needed.

The house is absolutely amazing with it's large stairways and sittting areas at each landing. Appropriately furnished and decorated to the historic era of it's creation. We were only there for two days and they happened to be the days with no dinner service, but if the dinner is created anything like the breakfast we surely missed out. We got to see into most of the rooms and they are all roomy and cozy at the same time. When you meet Greg you will see he is beaming with pride for this beutiful structure and his unbelievable kitchen creations. I do believe he could get a cover charge for his quick wit and verbal entertainment. This was the perfect spot to start our honeymoon. Paul & Anne (no relation to the queen)

Our family of four chose to stay at the Queen Anne Inn because it could accommodate my husband and me, as well as our two children ages 13 and 10 without having to book two separate rooms. We stayed in the two storey carriage house room. I was especially favourably impressed upon finding how rapidly the large cast tub filled with water. The room was very clean, tidy and the beds were comfortable. It was quiet. There was a small refrigerator in the room. We chose to dine in the Inn that evening (Wednesday) and found the menue to be interesting and reflective of Julie and Greg's travels. The food itself was very good, prepared well and presented attractively. Breakfast also was outstanding. In addition to this, the Inn is itself beautiful and set in lovely grounds. I would highly recommend the Queen Anne Inn.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Queen Anne. Owner's Greg and Julie are terrific hosts and go out of their way to make you feel at home. We had a great dinner and a terrific breakfast as well. The perfect place for a quiet getaway!

the queen ann is a excelent inn food outstanding the most comfortable hotel bed i have slept in beautifully furnished outstanding service if in the area this is the place to stay

Room was excellent. Cozy. Relaxed atmosphere. Great breakfast and gorgeous grounds.

Great hospitality, recommendations for meals and sights, and breakfast. A superb place to stay and to recommend to friends.

Delightful! Can think of nothing that would have made our stay any better.

Building and grounds were beautiful - a step back in time with all the luxury of today (wifi & airconditioning). Quiet, friendly and great food. Who could ask for more!

We took a B&B tour up the eastern coast of the US and Canada, and this was our favorite stop!! Elegant, affordable, and hospitable, Greg and Julie deserve great credit for this fabulous place.

We were delighted with the QAI during our stay in June 2012. The staff bend over backwards to provide great welcoming service. The owners personally attend to the guests. The grounds and building are first rate and very comfortable. Convenient on-site parking is provided. The Inn is close to the historic attractions of the town and the short walk to everything is safe and relaxing. The garden attraction across the road is well worth the times pent walking through. We dined at the Inn dining room for dinner and breakfast. Both were excellent. We were pleased and will come back. That pretty much sums it up.

We stayed here for 2 nights near the end of our month-long sojourn the the Maritimes. Found this Heritage listed property an amazing grace to the town which, itself, was a bit boring. Loves the local early Canadian historical sights and the leather jacket outlet centre. Not much else.

The air con in the room was splendid, the bed was comfortable and huge, the bubble jet tub fun and a bit scary (when it self-cleaned), the grounds quiet and peaceful, and the hot breakfast was fantastic. It was easy to find and a short walk to the main sights of the town.

Beautiful old Victorian house filled with antiques. The rooms are huge, and feather beds very comfortable. Greg, the owner and chef, is charming and made us feel right at home. The food is excellent. I recommend staying for dinner at least once! Annapolis Royal is beautiful, and well worth stopping at for a couple of days.

This is not just an Inn to lay your head on the pillow, this is an experience. Julie and Greg, the Inn keepers go to any lengths to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The breakfasts are fantastic, made to order. You are in for a very pleasant surprise if you dine at the Inn for supper. Extensive and outstanding menu for a small Inn and very reasonably priced. The rooms are all a bit different and all a good size. The feather top mattress covers are very cozy and warm. Everybody who works at the Inn does a fantastic job of making you feel like you have just made a new group of friends. A great place to stay for more than just a place to sleep for the night. Try it, you will very glad you did.

we had a great stay at the queen ann inn. this was our 2nd visit to nova scotia and our first time in annoplis royal and the queen ann inn. loved it there.hope to return soon. thanks for your excellent hospitality!

The owners are very attentive and go out of their way to make you feel special. The service and dining experiences were outstanding and the overall ambience of inn were above expectations. We would not hesitate to return and would highly recommend staying at the Queen Anne Inn. Wayne & Mary Makinson

Many times returning. Julie and Greg are extremely friendly hosts. Love to share stories and experiences. Truly a home away from home

Very appreciative of hosts to leave the door open for very late arrival. Easily found the keys and found our rooms. Super breakfasst. Enjoyed the walk around small lake/nature area that sits behind estate. Furnishings fit the period of house. Great house to explore. Also, great location to explore the surrounding town area. Pleasant staff, made us feel welcome which is probably the most important aspect of B&B.

I enjoyed a fantastic stay at the beautiful Queen Anne Inn in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia.

We stayed for one night and enjoyed our stay. The two person jacuzzi tub was wonderful, room was clean and lovely. The grounds behind the Inn leading to the marsh made for a nice walk into town. Breakfast in the morning was very good and our hosts were very welcoming. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Spacious rooms, wonderful service, delicious breakfast and great conversation.

Thanks for being so friendly to the three of us, we. sure did enjoy our stay with you. Greg is a great cook and jullie was great at serving us breakfast, and showing us around. We would like to come back again when the leaves are all colored and we would stay at your place again. The roughriders have't done good the last while, the green shirt did,nt work. Your place is so. Clean and decorated so good, we miss being there with you our stay was aug 24 th and25th. Thanks Mary Joe and bill

My wife and I recently spent 2 nights at The Queen Anne Inn and had a wonderful time. Not only is the property charming, Greg and Julie were enjoyable, wonderful hosts, and made us feel welcomed. We had never been to Annapolis Royal and they were informative in providing suggestions for restaurants, attractions, and offered the Inn and library to read and relax. During our stay we noticed that they mingled with other guests as well and offered the same hospitality. During one of our early evening hours, my wife and I decided to spend some time in the Inn’s parlor. A number of other couples also joined us and in no time several hours passed. Our room (number 8) was the right size, well furnished, and had a large bathroom. The room was as nice as the pictures on the website. As a matter of fact, the entire house and property were reflective of the photographs. There have been a few times during our travels where the websites embellish the property and overstate. You won’t have this disappointment at The Queen Anne Inn. My wife and I stayed at several Inns while we toured other Nova Scotia destinations. By far, The Queen Anne Inn helped to make our visit to Annapolis Royal a success. Greg, by the way, is also the chef and his breakfasts were sensational. Julie was delightful and cheerfully brought our breakfast. Our only regret was that the kitchen was closed for dinner. I guess they need away-time to recharge their batteries. On our flight home we talked about a return trip and we’d like to consider staying at the Inn for a number of days and use it as a home-base for taking day trips. If you want a memorable stay in a town that is quaint and full of history staying at the Inn is a must. I’m confident you will remember your holiday long after as one of the best.

The Queen Anne exceeded all of our expectations. The rooms and common areas were beautiful. The innkeepers could not have been more helpful or friendly. Greg even prepared a special dinner for us while we were there. We would definitely recommend them to friends in the future.

We stayed at the Queen Anne for one night and it was fabulous. Greg's sense of humour is very refreshing and the food....well if you choose not to eat dinner there it is your loss. The steak poivre is awesome, cooked perfectly and the plating was wonderful. Greg cooked us the best looking breakfast and it was full of flavour. If you get the chance make sure you stay at least one night at the Queen Anne Inn, you won't regret it !

This stay fulfilled a long-held fantasy: waking to the canopy of a four-poster bed. Lodging at the Queen Anne Inn was like staying in a grand Victorian museum. The décor is historically spot on with portraits of royals of the time, the furniture carefully chosen to enhance the authenticity. And yet, there were elements of zen, reflecting the owners' affection for the east and modern art: Buddhas mixed easily with modern art and meditatively arranged seasonal gourds. The sumptuous and delicious breakfast matched Julie and Greg's friendliness to customers. We'll go back any day!

We felt relaxed and comfortable from when we arrived. Not only is the house beautiful, the gardens are lovely as well. The food was superb and we thoroughly enjoyed our two-night visit.

The Queen Anne Inn is by far the lovliest inn my husband and I have ever visited. The owners were friendly and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and stress free. The inn itself is spectacular, both inside and out. Rooms are spotless and filled with lovely antiques. The feather bed and luxury linens were decadent. The outside has pathways framed with beautiful flower beds that have been perfectly manicured. At the far end of the property is a muti-tiered pond with waterfall. Outside seating surrounds the pond and live entertainment is often provided on Friday nights. The meals served at the inn were outstanding. We ate breakfast for two mornings and had dinner one evening. Meals were well prepared and service was excellent. I just loved the blueberry pancakes. This inn is a real find and a gift to the traveller who passes anywhere near Annapolis Royal.

Family in Nova Scotia picked the Queen Anne based on hearing good things. All true. I especially enjoyed the welcoming and friendly staff. Greg and his team have left lasting memories for us!

Beautiful setting, charming property, outstanding food and very outrageous hosts! Greg and Julie at the Queen Anne Inn really know how to throw a party. That is welcoming party! From the moment you arrive you will feel like you are staying with long lost friends. Greg has excellent culinary talents and a wicked sense of humor and Julie is even more charming than the antique furniture. It is a very inviting and comfortable environment for any traveler from any walk of life. Louise from Australia

My mother and i spent four nights at the Queen Anne Inn and were thoroughly impressed by the beautiful house and the kindness of Greg and Julie. They were always helpful, always friendly. Greg's cooking was some of the best we've ever had! Breakfast was always amazing and we dined there one evening as well. The food was exquisite! Our room was very comfortable and we really loved all the antiques in the room and through the house. We will highly recommend the Queen Anne Inn!

After deciding to elope in Nova Scotia, Annapolis Royal seemed like the perfect place. After much online research, our friends suggested we check out The Queen Anne Inn. We couldn’t have picked a better place! The photos on the website were beautiful but we were blown away when we arrived. With a very short time until our wedding, Greg and Julie were more than helpful in preparing for our special day. The Inn was not even supposed to be open for a few more days but they were able to accommodate us. With a busy schedule of getting ready to open for the season, they took on even more work in order to prepare a beautiful site for us to have our ceremony on the grounds. Greg prepared the most wonderful wedding dinner for us with delicious appetizers, fresh bread and steak done to perfection. Our room at the Inn was lovely, filled with antiques along with a lovely sitting room and private bathroom. Julie had fresh cut flowers waiting for us upon our arrival. Very romantic, with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. It is a good thing that the breakfast was so amazing or I may never have gotten out of bed. There was always a fresh pot of delicious coffee waiting for us in the morning, which we enjoyed while walking around the beautiful grounds. A special thank you to Greg and Julie for your warmth and hospitality. You made our stay and our wedding day so wonderful. We would highly recommend the Queen Anne Inn and can’t wait to come back. Terry and Kathy Mayo

The Queen Anne Inn was recommended to us for our private wedding by friends living near the inn, on the Annapolis River, in Granville Ferry. With deep trust in their judgement we planned, by telephone and email, with Julie and Greg to be married on the premises. They worked their wonderful magic and we were overjoyed by our experience. It was our image of perfection in what we wanted. Julie and Greg were warm and gracious hosts. We had the privacy of a beautiful room for the ceremony and simply crossed the hall to our sumptuous wedding dinner. They achieved an atmosphere of an intimate gathering, casually elegant with just the right mix of humor and romance. Everything about our bedroom was attractive and comfortable; spacious, tastefully decorated and included a lovely private bathroom. At breakfast it was fun to socialize, enjoy more delicious food and then take a walk through the inn's beautiful grounds. We feel so fortunate to have this fabulous memory and thank Julie and Greg for helping to create the specialness of an event that we carry in our hearts. We are looking forward to another stay at the Queen Anne around our anniversary date. Joy Martin and Robert(Bob) Baker

A beautifully restored Inn located-in town across the street from the Historic Gardens. This impeccable property has been beautifully restored and rooms have been upgraded to contain all modern amenities. A number of common rooms are available which provides the feeling of being in a home rather than hotel. The owners and staff are warm, friendly and helpful. An elegant dinner was served on the premises, thus obviating the need to search for a local restaurant. Annapolis Royal offers a host of interesting attractions including our favorite, a lantern light tour of the cemetery associated with the Fort Anne National Historic Site conducted by the Annapolis Royal Historical Society.

This inn is like staying in a beautiful museum. I loved it. The host was really full of energy and funny. Everything was lovely and it is very central to many sites.I wish I was there now!

Very helpful and friendly innkeepers. Beautiful landscaping and garden for strolling and relaxation. Charming property. Quiet, set well back from traffic noise. Convenient location within walking distance from downtown and walking path.
