Jun 30, 2026The owner is the Chef and the food was a blend of East Coast favourites and commonly listed items. The dinner menu also had Asian dishes , all were very satisfying.
Many tourists and residents just stopped in for the meals , since it's only about 20 minutes away from the ferry , along the Trans Canada Hwy, so very convenient.

Sep 11, 2025The room was good and I would stay there again. Unfortunately the restaurant attached to this property was closed. I had a small dog and it was hard to find walking spots because it was next to the highway.

Colleen
Oct 16, 2025The room wasn't big but was spotless with an extremely comfortable bed. One of the best beds on our trip! It had a microwave & fridge but was missing a coffee maker which was a big negative. Restaurant on property was closed which was a huge disappointment & let-down.. Luckily there was an upscale grocer next door where we bought takeout for dinner & Tim Hortens 2km away for coffee. I would definitely recommend this place but check FIRST to see if the restaurant is open!

Patricia
Dec 7, 2025No . Bathroom tap in sink difficult to get hot water. One of the light shades in room missing. Curtain rod hanging off on one side. Only chair in room stained. My room was located in area of the property away from the main building and with no outside light, so safety was an issue. The room appeared clean.
8/10 Very good

Aug 6, 2026We were not greeted upon arrival even though we arrived in good time it was closed. We called the number on the door and after a bit of confusion we found the room,
The room was very clean, quiet and in a great location for boarding the ferry next day. We would stay here again.
