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.

The Harbourview Inn is a delightful place! The setting is lovely, our host, Greg was very warm and friendly and the room was clean and well-appointed. The beds were super comfortable and we slept great! Unfortunately, our stay was far too brief to enjoy all the inn had to offer, but I would highly recommend this place and book here again with plans to stay longer!

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.

Love this spot!!

Greg & Belinda are magnificent hosts. This inn is a phenomenal place to stay - a beautiful location with so much great stuff close by. Accommodations are lovely and breakfast divine. They’re closing for the season now but if/when you get a chance to go you will not be disappointed!

Staying at this property felt like returning home. Greg, Belinda and Irene provided humor and warmth to our stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the food was plentiful and delicious. The property has old world charm mixed with beautiful artwork (much of which is created by the owners) and furnishings. There are several common sitting areas in which to read or chat. We didn't have time to partake of the pool. Perhaps next time. It is just a short car ride to Digby and the St. John Ferry. This inn offered everything I had hoped to find. I hope to return!
