    We loved this experience. The Inn was wonderfully cared for. The breakfast was exceptional. The furnishings throughout were thoughtful. Perfectly located within walking distance of all there is to see and do in the town. The challenge here is where to eat dinner? The Inn has a cross-promotion with Garrison House..but their food was seriously unsatisfactory and the service was beyond bizarre.

    Innkeeper Response
    It is disappointing and surprising to learn that these guests did not enjoy their experience at the Garrison House which affected their rating of our property. Previous reviews on this restaurant from other guests have been quite positive.

    Our whole stay was rain, so we were grateful to be staying in such a lovely inn. Our hosts were so helpful and we wouldn't hesitate to come back, especially to see Annapolis Royal in the sun and walk the gardens! Sarah and William Lacroix

    I stayed at the Inn for an over night "stop over" due to my time restrictions. I wish I had taken the time to relax and enjoy all that this excellent Inn and the Annapolis Royal area had to offer. I plan to be back.

    Innkeeper Response
    It should be noted that we only provide breakfast service in our Dining Room and we do not operate a restaurant for other meal service. There are however several very good restaurants within walking distance of the Inn.

    We picked this place from the NS tourist guide and (because it was late in the day) we got the last room (in the attic and hence the 'met my expectations' for the room). But what a great choice of B&B this was! Attentive hosts in a lovely house in a lovely town. We strongly recommend it.


    That feel of being pampered

    I was one of a Theater group(G&S) performing in Annapolis Royal. Unfortunately, we didn't have much time at the Inn but next yr will book for a longer stay. Was a fabulous Inn and the breakfast was heavenly! Slept like a baby in that wonderful queen size bed. And the staff were welcoming and accomadating. Made u feel like u were coming home but in much grander surroundings. Have recommended it to others in our theater group for next yr and some friends who are travelling that way. Enjoyed thouroughly.
