The Dashwood is a heritage building and obviously would have many challenges to maintain a top notch accommodation site. Along with being exceptionally clean Dashwood also does a very good job of keeping the authenticity of the building while adding modern improvements with a heritage touch (ie. new soaker tub, sink and toilet fit the look of an old fashioned bathroom). The breakfast room, with a view of the ocean, was beautiful and the food scrumptious! The staff were polite, friendly and always helpful if required. It would be nice to have a common room on the main floor but it was suffice to be able to access coffee, tea, bottled water and delightful dessert treats in the breakfast area 24/7! The ocean view, Dallas Road promenade and close proximity to Cook Street Village were all huge considerations in our choice of Dashwood Manor. We were not disappointed. We'll be back!
