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.

A perfect setting
The host was so patient with our being so late due to passport control. We were embarrassed to keep him up so late. He was so kind and understanding.

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!
