Comfortable inn
We stayed in the family suite which was quite large and very comfortable. It was really appreciated after being on the road for awhile. Location is just a short drive to Digby and Annapolis Royal with a walking trail next to property.

We had a two room suite for one night that was convenient from the ferry. Beautiful view of the water and our host was there to greet us. We had a nice breakfast. A pleasant stop over as we headed up along the coast.
