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.

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.

We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. Greg, Belinda, and Irene brought smiles and good conversation to our stay. A delicious breakfast that began with a bowl of fresh fruit, yogurt, and coffee prior to the delicious hot dish of the day sprang us out of bed each morning. We appreciated the numerous areas, indoors and out, to relax and read. We were busy with the Acadian World Congress so had no time to take advantage of the pool and tennis court but saw that others happily did. We highly recommend The Harbourview Inn to folks of all ages. We live far away but hope to return one day.
