Large room with kitchen and full sized fridge. We had an excellent experience with staff when our check in time was complicated by travel delays. Beautiful setting. The only drawback was the lack of access space on one side of the bed. It needed another 8 - 12 inches.

Check-in was so unprofessional Receptionist venting about some internal hotel business. She didn’t excuse herself to greet me, but continued her vent. Finally she hung up and we proceeded to check in. There was a $250 deposit required and then I was given a key. The room is small and the beautiful view they advertise is part of the owners home which you access through their large driveway. The small window in the room is the only way you can stand and view so it was disappointing. They had water issues. We couldn’t shower. There was no way to regulate the dial. Scalding hot water only. Cold not available. Not a great way to start your day. At 10am there was no one there to check us out. Door locked so I pushed buzzer at least 4 times before someone came. Alerted them about the shower/water issue and we left. Overall this was not a great stay. Will never return and whoever Heather is… I feel sorry for you.

Great place to stay , very cute and well kept units, Queen bed was more like a double bed. The motel is close to a busy road , I would suggest ear plugs for light sleepers. I highly recommend this motel and will be my place to stay next I am back in Halifax. Great outdoor space if the weather would have cooperated

Very disappointing stay. The room had a strong unpleasant smell that wouldn't go away — especially the bathroom, which constantly reeked despite the fan being on. The bathroom door was broken and wouldn't close properly. The bed squeaked loudly with every small movement, making it hard to sleep. Even the TV remote didn’t work correctly. Overall, a very uncomfortable and frustrating experience. Definitely would not recommend.
