Marla and Darrell treated us like old friends the minute we arrived. The home is a delight to see. Our room was very comfortable and well decorated. Marla’s breakfast looked like a work of art, and tasted even better. Thank you guys for a wonderful stay.

Thank you so very much Roger, for your wonderfully kind words. We enjoyed having you both with us and the conversation. Hope the rest of your trip went well.
The Nelson House is one of the best B&Bs in Nova Scotia. The hosts are amazing and jumped through hoops so that we could leave early the day after our stay. The house is spotless and the beds, rooms and washrooms were beautifully appointed. We will definitely be back.

We are a Bed and Breakfast and there are no other buildings or accommodations on our property nor do re recall having a guest by that name Our home is very well maintained as we take pride in its upkeep especially as it sits on the Main Street of town and we take our guests comfort very seriously!
Had a wonderful stay. Great communication in making our late check-in easy. Cozy and clean room. Can't say enough about delicious breakfast cooked by Marla. We thoroughly enjoyed taking with Marla during breakfast. We would be very happy to stay here again!

Thank you Rosalie, it was a pleasure having you with us. So pleased that you enjoyed your stay.
One night. Host made excellent recommendation for dinner. Breakfast was served early to accommodate our flight schedule; however, we enjoyed an awesome send-off meal. Host asked in advance what we would prefer…very thoughtful.
