We arrived at night and pulled in to the driveway of this lovely, cozy-looking house; warmly lit breakfast area and glassed-in front porch were most appealing to weary travellers. Our hosts were friendly, thoughtful and interesting to talk to, knowing much about the area and giving us much-needed opinions on what it might be like to live in that part... More

We stayed in the Winchester House, Suite 20 and had every comfort we would require. Upon our arrival,our host gave us discount coupons which we could use at any time during our stay if we wished to have a drink... More

We arrived absolutely soaking wet from a whale watching cruise and before we knew it Darren had taken our soaking clothes and dried them and our shoes in his tumble drier. He and Vance are the perfect hosts and serve an amazing breakfast too. There was hot tea and coffee on tap and the room and bathroom was spotless and... More

This was our favourite inn that we stayed at on our recent trip to Nova Scotia. We stayed in the Winchester House annexe which is a lovely spacious suite with an enormous bathroom and wonderfully comfortable bed. The room was also spotlessly clean. The gorgeous main house is perfect with a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of places to relax. The... More

Rosie (our little dog) loves to welcome and entertain our guests and is more than willing to take our guests for a walk around Smiths Cove. One guest who took Rosie to our little Post Office was amazed that everyone there knew her name...one of the joys of living in a small community! Irene tries to creates a fun and... More

The ferry that operates from Digby to Saint John leaves at 8:00 AM and customers have to be at the ferry terminal at 7:00 AM. For guests who let us know in advance that they are taking this early ferry and who will be missing breakfast at the Inn, we provide a continental breakfast to go. Outside the windows of... More

Loved it here, even though it was raining. Only problem here is that they don't do evening meals. Couldn't find any where open for a meal, so stopped at perfect pizza, where I enjoyed some delicious ribs.That said the hosts and staff were great, food good, lovely room.

We would like to be able to tell everyone that it is always sunny in Smiths Cove but that would be stretching the truth! There are a variety of restaurants in Digby (12 minutes from the inn), Bear River (10 minutes) and Annapolis Royal (25 minutes).
