We would would recommend this...

Liked: Breakfasts were good with lots of choice. The location was perfect for us - very central for travelling around the area.
Disliked: We have no complaints.

Wish I hadn’t booked, wouldn’t...

Liked: Nicely restored property, comfortable bed, good to see solar panels
Disliked: Person who gave us our keys was belligerent from the off - greeting us as the people who were ONLY staying for one night, then complaining that I had been awkward asking about getting a king bed (I never asked this, and she appeared to be confused and mixing up guests) and then going into a litany of complaints about previous guests and their annoying requests. She also made repeated reference to not leaving the doors open as this would let squirrels in and she did not want that - while pausing and holding eye contact intently. This was particularly aggressive and somewhat surreal. 6 weeks ahead of our booking the owner, Judy, had said by email that they could provide a vegan breakfast for us and even asked for a list of things we normally ate for breakfast to prepare, however our dietary requirements were clearly an issue upon check in and after being told that she had gotten yoghurt and gluten free bread (neither are vegan) we decided to skip breakfast. She was annoyed that my husband asked for the key 5 minutes into her spiel which was mostly complaints about other guests (as we had perishables in the car and it was 31C weather) and told me she didn’t like people like that and he needed to slow down to match the island. She then said people like us, who are only staying places one night (we are doing a 2 week tour of Nova Scotia and PEI), aren’t doing anything properly.I have never felt more unwelcome or uncomfortable checking into a place in my life. It wasn’t just the content of what she said but her tone and manner. It felt like de-escalating a conflict situation just to get given the key to our room. It was 5pm on a Tues when we were checking in and she smelled strongly of alcohol, was slurring her words and her clothes were dirty, all of which we found appalling for any accommodation let alone one claiming to be 5-star.

enjoyed the accommodations breakfast

Liked: Clean,comfortable easy check in and check out. lovey breakfast. Located close to North Rustico and Cavendish Easy drive to most attractions around the island.
