We stayed here a night since we were attending the Canso Stanfest, so it was the best option for us in terms of location! Good bed, basic continental breakfast.

Quite a work out taking luggage up 2 flights but the room was spacious. The TV was pretty old but we didn’t use it. Some of the carpets were stained but overall the place was clean and quaint. Breakfast was good. Night time dining options were very limited

The room was very nice and the service excellent. Air conditioning, even temporary, would have made the visit even more enjoyable during the recent heat wave.

Too bad that 5 stars is the maximum! This property is so welcoming as are the hosts. Our room was beautifully appointed, comfortable, and spacious. The option to open the windows provided fresh air and easy sleeping. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Anna, who we soon learned is also the chef. No need to seek a restaurant in the area since the manor's dining room featured delicious dinners and convenience for breakfast. We stayed for two nights and were sad to leave such a splendid place.

Not many options for dining in the area, it appears that Covid shut down a lot of businesses in the more rural areas of NS

Beautiful historic Manor in need of upgrading

The staff made us feel like we were guests in their own home. This historic building was beautiful in the details of another era, truly breathtaking. The biggest downfall is the lack of air conditioning in the guest rooms. This put a damper on our stay, but everything else was a great experience.
