Overall Ratings & Reviews The Fourth Lock Bed & Breakfast

everything about the property was excellent except the mattresses. Recommend investing in something a little firmer so the guest doesn't feel like they are falling out of the bed. Loved the view, the restaurant convenience, excellent bathroom and a great room (The Thomas) for two couples travelling together.

There was little to no sound proofing in the room and other guests were quite loud, we could hear full conversations late at night. We could also hear the sounds of the restaurant quite clearly below us. When the restaurant was busy, there was a sign for overflow parking nearby but there were no dedicated parking spots for people staying at the inn. We had to wait about 20 minutes until people from the restaurant left so we could have a parking spot close enough to load/unload our vehicle. Nice spot, very clean, overall enjoyed the stay

My review is for the B&B accommodation. Didn't eat at the restaurant. The B&B has 3 rooms in total. We stayed in the Fletcher Room which is on the floor above the restaurant. There is another suite upstairs from ours, and being a wood building, we could clearly hear the floor creak and thud when people were walking around. The room is nicely furnished, has a queen bed and is air-conditioned. The bed was way too soft from what we are used to, and I got a stiff neck in the morning. No closet in the room except for a small rack with a couple of hangers. The common room has a fireplace, sofas, some books and board games. Nice view of the lake from the patio. Breakfast consists of muffins, fruits and granola bars, placed in a basket in the room. Coffee (K cups) is available in the common room. No staff is present in the B&B, and check-in is self-serviced with door codes provided for access. We never got the door code until we messaged the property on the day of check-in. I suspect the message was stuck at Expedia (through which we booked the room). The B&B is only a 10-minte drive to the airport, convenient for catching a morning flight out like we did.

The place was charming and well maintained. The owner was engaging, clearly a people person. Just wished we had time to eat at his restaurant

Great location, excellent distance between your location and the airport… side not I left my yellow hawian floral T-Shirt in the bathroom of the Williams room today. Can you put that aside for me.

Overall pleasent stay, comfortable check-in, stayed upto things. Highly recommended.

Self serve check in

Very easy check in and convenient.

It was great nice and clean., huge. Good amenities. Washroom was clean. Everything was good as mentioned

Very clean, friendly staff

Beautiful house and location was super close to the airport! Nice touch having the to go breakfast snacks in the room and waters. Had no issues whatsoever, comfy room, quiet, very very clean! Lots of parking.

Very clean, unique rooms. Great atmosphere - owner was very personable.

This is a cute and unusual little place, conveniently located for Halifax airport. The instructions for self check in are very easy, the room is private and there is a little common living room area overlooking the lake, where you can make coffee at any time. The restaurant downstairs seems to be a very popular spot for locals and I ate a very tasty vegan meal there. I stayed here for two separate one night stays and the first night (a Tuesday), the restaurant was closed, but my second night was a Friday and the noise in the room from the restaurant was quite loud. The noise from the road is also very loud, unless you keep the window closed. There is a very large amount of traffic flowing past here and at times it is very difficult to get in and out of the driveway, which was surprising. I stayed in the Lake William room, which does have a partial view of the lake. The room was clean, but the bed wasn’t super comfortable for me. Overall I would recommend here, especially if you are on a budget, as the price is decent.

Quiet, restful place with a lovely restaurant and bar.

Great spot to stay. Enjoyed the shared common space.

The area is noisy, but the room quiet. The property’s restaurant is phenomenal! I will certainly be back.

Very comfy and convenient

Very dark outside if arriving after dark and although we booked 2 nights there was no continental breakfast left for the second morning

great communication with owner,jake. i i reccomend reserving for dinner. it was excellent

There is a very nice restaurant/pub on the main level with great food and service. We arrived for checkin as advised but the self checkin requires an access code that we had not been provided in advance. After a bit of creative research we tracked down the needed code. That should have been advised through Expedia. Otherwise all was good.
