We were disappointed and surprised when we approached the front door. It looks like it needed a fair amount of maintenance. The main entrance to our unit required a stairway but it was in very bad shape . The portable a/c did not have a remote and I had to contact the owner to come and make an adjustment on it. During the rest of the evening it was difficult using it because it did not work correctly. The owner was unable to even provide us with enough ice for both of us to make a drink. Finally this place is called Harborview and to the best of my knowledge there is no harbour view available anywhere around the property. We were very disappointed especially based on the price

Very nice inn, although in need of some renovations (holes in screens, plants taking over outside side stairs, baseboards could use some refreshing paint). The staff is extremely friendly; breakfast is delicious; bedroom (#7) was roomy with nice accomodations

Bad expérience with Hotel.com

I asked Hôtel.com to cancel my reservation 3 days before and they can’t join them. They finally asked them to cancel my reservation one day later, and I had to pay one night…………

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.
