10/10 Excellent
"What a delightful place to stay! We had no idea when we booked on Expedia that it is the #5 ranked place to stay in Canada. And well deserved! My son and I stayed in the "Cliffs of Fundy" tower suite. The description on Expedia did not prepare us for how impressive this suite is! It is the entire top floor and comes with two separate 3 piece bathrooms and two separate bedrooms, a king, two twin beds. I had thought it was twin bunk beds from the description but it's not. The staff is very friendly and it runs like across between a bed and breakfast and a hotel. It was very comfortable being in the home because the owners have their own separate part of the building. Paul (the owner) was our chef and came out to the dining room to greet us. We thoroughly enjoyed our delicious breakfast. Our 1st course was cranberry orange scones with coffee. The 2nd course was fruit (apple, pineapple, grapes, blueberries and strawberry) w yogurt and granola. The main course was maple leaf shaped, orange scented waffles, topped with bananas, strawberries, and blueberries and accompanied by a locally made Maple blueberry sausage. Divine! We walked to the Harbourview Restaurant for dinner. The a 2.1 km walk was lovely. Be sure to stop and use the selfie camera station. The tide turned while we had dinner and we were shocked how quickly it moved in each direction."
