Guest Reviews

• Reg (10/5): -
• Mel (10/5): -
• Oliver (9/5): - Sehr schönes Hotel, sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal, sehr leckeres Frühstück!
• Steffen (10/5): Wir kommen wieder!!! Ein sehr schöner Ort zum Spaß haben und zum relaxen. - Alles war schön. Die Unterkunft super gepflegt tolles Konzept. Kanus, Fahrräder kann man sich einfach so ausleihen, ohne Gebühr. Super Ausstattung, nettes Personal. Der Pool, die Sauna und das Teleskop zum Sterne beobachten, einfach schön.
• Philipp (9/5): -
• PAULA (10/5): -
• Alke (9/5): Ferienwohnung mit hervorragender Bade- und Kanu Möglichkeit - Schöne Lage, mit wunderschönem Badestrand. Sehr guter mit Platten ausgelegter Buchtzugang, das Wasser der Bucht ist angenehm warm. Das Zimmer war zweckmäßig und schön eingerichtet. In der Küche alles as man benötigt vorhanden. Wir konnten leider dort nicht essen, da nur von Donnerstag bis Samstags für die Gäste gekocht wird. Daher unbedingt an den anderen Tagen Essen zur Selbstversorgung mitbringen.
• Gillian (10/5): A perfect blend of comfort, warmth, and unforgettable dining — we only wish we could have stayed lon - What isn’t there to like about Fossil Farms Oceanside Retreat? From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations — spotless, beautifully designed accommodations, thoughtful touches everywhere, and warm, welcoming hosts who made us feel at home. The highlight was the delectable seven-course dinner, each dish a work of art bursting with local flavour. Comfort, charm, and incredible food all in one perfect stay — we can’t wait to return! Honestly, not much. If anything, we simply wished we had booked a longer stay to enjoy more of the peace, comfort, and outstanding hospitality.
• Patrick (8/5): Good place to relax. - Great calm location. Beds were a little small.
• Michael (10/5): It is a delightful place to stay! - There were so many things to do on site.
• Rajveer (8/5): -
• Philip (10/5): Had a great time at Fossil Farms and would stay there again. Great value, location, and staff. - Wonderful location with A winery on the property and wonderful units that were clean and well stocked Nothing
• Lex (10/5): Perfect stay - Nice little house and great host
• Garding (8/5): Very good -
• Carlos (9/5): Perfect and beautiful getaway close to Halifax and half way to Cape Breton - The location in the countryside and being surrounded by Nature and clean air was amazing. The perfect balance of being “away” and with options to explore
• Virginia (8/5): Very good - Beautiful location, and clean, well appointed apartment. Bed was small and uncomfortable. Otherwise everything was very good.
• Tracy (9/5): Superb -
• Natalie (9/5): Beautiful property! Great way to connect with nature while having the comforts of home. - The cottage was even better then the photos! Spotless and felt very high end! They had everything we could possibly want for our stay, and the thoughtfulness put into the little details did not go unnoticed. For example, they had prepackaged totes at the sauna so we knew exactly how much to put in. Coffee beans with instructions on how to make the perfect cup. A fun passport of things for us to do while on the property. Wish we could have stayed longer! Nothing!
• Christine (10/5): Our stay was much to short to appreciate all the features of the resort. - A beautiful country farm property with peaceful environment promoting wellness. Nothing
• Lloy (9/5): Superb -
• Louise (8/5): A comfortable stay - A nice, clean room with everything we needed for a comfortable nights rest...the coffee and honey were nice touches as were the crisps! We booked the evening meal, the dining area is lovely and the staff where really friendly. We enjoyed the first course, the second was not to our taste, the third pasta and mushroom dish was very tasty, the fourth lamb dish was only just warm but tasty. For us the dishes where far to long in between but the rest of the diners seemed to enjoy it so this is just our opinion. The serving staff were lovely and the wine very good.
• Shari (10/5): A restful break on a road trip - The property is very peaceful and we enjoyed walking about. Feeding the goats was a highlight. The cottage was well equiped, spacious, and clean. The jar with fresh ground local coffee and the gift of honey right from the farm were nice touches. The murphy bed was not overly comfortable but it was okay. Make sure to stock up on food before you arrive.
• Danielle (10/5): Exceptional - Size of the property, thoughtful touches (coffee, honey from bees on farm), quiet place, farm animals!
• Katie (10/5): Wish we could have stayed longer. - The animals, kayaks, and the quiet accommodations. We cooked a meal and had everything we needed in the kitchen. It was a clean cabin. The staff were very friendly.
• Sherene (8/5): Wonderful, peaceful weekend getaway. - This property is gorgeous. Rolling hills with vineyards, gardens, and a farm. We really enjoyed the sauna and pool and spent a lot of time there. We also ate a meal at the restaurant-it there’s one on offer while you’re staying there, don’t miss it-it’s a real farm to table treat. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
• Janie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jeanne (9/5): Superb -
• Anonymous (10/5): Magical, enjoying the simple pleasures of nature and the land - Beautiful, magical, pastoral setting, walking by vineyards, encouraged to enjoy nature, simple yet tasteful accommodations, sustainable philosophy, peaceful, quiet, farm to table restaurant
• Isuru (10/5): Exceptional - View and arrangements of rooms are perfect..
• Liz (10/5): We stayed in mid May, would be amazing in the warmer weather. Amazing place - Lots to do Nothing
• Abdellah (10/5): Beautiful and peaceful location - They need better beds. Folding beds a cool but not comfy and squeaky The bed
• Cindy (10/5): We had an amazing visit, wish our itinerary allowed us a few more days. Next time! - This property is stunning, our cabin was beautiful, well equipped, great bed, comfortable furniture. View was beautiful, looking over a lake. Everything you need is there and we were able to partake in the 7 course meal in the restaurant, the meal was like a Michelin chef preparing it for us. Service was amazing. Oh and the sheep and goats are fun to watch!! One of the owners is Dean Roberson, so welcoming and his staff are wonderful! Nothing
• Renee (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful cottage with nice views of the farm. The cottage was fully equipped, with many extras. We loved the fresh ground coffee!
• Lorraine (10/5): We loved the place and plan to visit again! - What an amazing facility! We plan to return in the summer months to take full advantage of all that it offers. We had a tour with one of the co-owners and learned of the very thoughtful approach to the Retreat's development and future plans. The units are situated on a hill overlooking a bay, and fields which will be filled with flowering vegetation in the spring/summer. The unpolluted night sky will delight anytime of year. The units are new, clean, and well-appointed and the hosts are very personable. My spouse and I stayed at Fossil Farm to attend an event in New Glasgow, but it would be a fantastic spot for group gatherings (family reunion, wedding, workshop, etc). So glad we discovered this gem! Hard to find anything to suggest needing improvement...perhaps a thicker mattress cover on the bed?
• Judy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional - A truly great dining experience as well
• Amy (10/5): The most peaceful place to unwind and relax in nature, an absolute gem - Beautiful setting N/A
• Chris (9/5): Just what I needed for this trip. Hope to return with my husband and/or friends. - Stayed in a lovely, well appointed cabin. Very comfortable, and a beautiful restful setting. I liked that this is a working farm and the eco friendly principles it is based on. I wish I could have stayed longer 😊
• Rhiannon (10/5): Charming and delicious and unique dining! - Fantastic and very special meal. Real focus on sustainability and eating local. The houses are newly renovated and the beds extremely comfortable. Lots of great activities. It would be nice to have a simple breakfast option as there is little in the area. Guests can get supplies in the town 15m drive away before they arrive.
• Curtis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dean (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sherry (10/5): Beautiful views and grounds highly recommend a stay here - We loved everything about Fossil Farms. From the cabin we stayed in to the grounds and beautiful view😊We ate dinner on the farm it was a six course meal, every dish brought out to us, was delicious. We highly recommend Fossil Farm . Oh and the farm animals were so sweet
• Vadboncoeur (10/5): Worth going there - Land sunset by thé water
• Nakul (10/5): Exceptional - Great location with lots of really fun activities to enjoy. We loved feeding the farm animals and rising the bikes around the farm.
• Omid (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lorna (9/5): Really lovely cabin in a pretty setting - I would give our cabin 12 out of 10! Sparkling clean and amazingly equipped - they really have thought of everything. Loved fossil-hunting. The outdoor lounge was a lovely spot for a drink. Views were beautiful. We bought a bottle of the estate wine to go with our dinner - pricey, but very good. Lots of mosquitos, so you'll need lots of repellent around dusk. And, a fairly major issue - the kayak I borrowed was cracked on the bottom so was taking on water, which I didn't find out until I was half way across the sound... yikes... so do check equipment carefully before you take it out on the water.
• Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - Stunning property with lots to do and so much space the whole time we felt we were alone.
