Beautiful building/rooms and very attentive (and busy!) staff. Off season there isn’t anything else in town.

We tried to check in to this property and no one was there. We waited 20 minutes for him to arrive. He was very friendly and pleasant. But no lights were turned on making this a dark and cold feeling 'welcoming' experience. We were shown our way to our room up the dark staircase (again, no lights). It was outdated (I realize this is an old hotel...this was outdated in a tired way). The place smelled stale. We decided not to stay here despite having booked two nights there. We had not even brought our luggage in. We had not spent more than 2 min in the room. John had already left the property thereby not allowing us to talk about cancelling directly. We were the only ones in the building. It felt isolated and remote. We called and spoke with him and he understood. We talked with them again the next day asking if we could get any refund on our two night stay. They said they would talk and see what they thought was fair. We did not get any refund so I guess they thought zero was fair. We understand given that we booked through Expedia and were beyond the cancellation timeframe. But we paid for 2 nights in a place we were in for 10 minutes. Regarding the area, be aware that this area/town is very remote. And quiet except for the noisy bugs (cicadas?). We travel globally. The fact that we wouldn't spend a night here even though we prepaid says a lot. That being said, I believe the owners to be friendly people.

Beautifully renovated and maintained property. Very high quality bedding and furniture. Nice to stay in an authentic 1837 manor.

Quite a work out taking luggage up 2 flights but the room was spacious. The TV was pretty old but we didn’t use it. Some of the carpets were stained but overall the place was clean and quaint. Breakfast was good. Night time dining options were very limited

Very nice old Victorian room. Large room with couch. Huge washroom. Old but functional TV. No A/C. Nice area.

Too bad that 5 stars is the maximum! This property is so welcoming as are the hosts. Our room was beautifully appointed, comfortable, and spacious. The option to open the windows provided fresh air and easy sleeping. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Anna, who we soon learned is also the chef. No need to seek a restaurant in the area since the manor's dining room featured delicious dinners and convenience for breakfast. We stayed for two nights and were sad to leave such a splendid place.

We stayed here a night since we were attending the Canso Stanfest, so it was the best option for us in terms of location! Good bed, basic continental breakfast.

Not many options for dining in the area, it appears that Covid shut down a lot of businesses in the more rural areas of NS
