Guest Reviews

Wendy (10/5): - The pictures on the site do not do this location justice. The unique building and gardens are beautiful, the food was fabulous and the staff wonderful. I will definitely stay here again!
Ralph Lloyd (10/5): - Beautiful site on the water. Friendly staff. Quiet surroundings. Wonderful breakfast.
Dawn (10/5): - This was incredibly beautiful
JAMES (10/5): - This was an excellent choice for us as we arrived late in the day as we came off the ferry. Room was very comfortable and breakfast was amazing
Jennifer (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful property. Comfortable, clean and lovely rooms. The Breakfast was outstanding - the best Eggs Benedict I have ever had -- and trust me I have had tons. Staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.
Tammy (8/5): - Room and bed was so comfortable. Room had AC but didn’t need it as good air flow with windows open. So so quiet. Only food option is onsite restaurant, which was “ok”.
Susan (6/5): - The ferry from Bar Harbor was cancelled so we lost our night at the Old Argyle Lodge.
Laurie (10/5): - Loved the history and architecture of Tait House. Beautifully decorated, high ceilings…
Lisa (10/5): - Wonderful relaxing stay.
Mary (10/5): - Beautiful ocean view and sunset. Great porch to sit and watch the water with a nice glass of wine!
Ailsa (8/5): - Lovely property with a great view. Mattress needs updated though.
Nancy (10/5): - The view is gorgeous. Dining there is so convenient. The meals were wonderful and the service warm and friendly.
Barbara (10/5): - We loved the serenity of the location, the charm of the lodge itself and the delicious dinner.
John (6/5): - It is a beautiful property. The room was really nice except the mattress was too soft and needs to be replaced. I knew that if I slept in the bed my back would be in bad shape the next day. I slept on the trundle bed which was really hard but a better option.
Verified traveler (10/5): - A great east coast vibe and an incredible lobster supper
Eliza (10/5): - Wonderful stay
Kelly (10/5): - 100% recommend! Great place to stay while travelling through Nova Scotia. Clean, cute room, stayed in the Leeward room. Dinner was really good! Quiet area...really enjoyed our stay!
Christina (10/5): Hidden Gem on the Ocean with an Amazing Restaurant - Beautiful spot that is a must see! The lodge is wonderfully decorated, the staff are welcoming and the rooms have everything you need. The restaurant has wrap around windows so everyone has a view of the ocean and the food is 5 star! We will definitely stay here again next time we are near!
Jen (10/5): - Perfect to recharge your social battery.
Michael (10/5): - The overall stay and facilities are great...however, the bathroom has zero places for one's toiletries, other than using the floor of the bathroom...not what one would expect from a 4 star facility.
Roger (10/5): - Very nice property,nice waterfront setting.
James (8/5): - Beautiful location .
Salena (10/5): - I area was quite. The owners are great and food wonderful.
Grace (10/5): - Very quiet and great customer service from staff… we had a nice rest and love our breakfast!
Kyle (10/5): - Nice quiet location. Gorgeous view of the water. Easy access to the rail trail for hiking/running. Enjoyed sampling the breakfast and dinner menu options. Friendly and helpful staff. Would have stayed longer if I had the time!
Valerie (10/5): - Très bel endroit et calme.
Adam (10/5): - Food here was amazing. Great chef and one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The rooms are adorable and the property is amazing with fantastic relaxing view of the harbour dotted with little islands and boats.
Deborah (10/5): - It was definitely a rustic looking lodge but once you stepped inside it was beautiful and clean and the view of the bay
STEVEN (10/5): - What an awesome place! Great food, great accommodations and great staff.
Chris (10/5): - Friendly welcome, lovely property in a beautiful spot
Monica (10/5): - We arrived later than expected and the owners ensured the dining room could accommodate us when we arrived. The place was so calm and peaceful, away from everything. It rained a lot through the day and the mist surrounded the coastline and property. It was just lovely. Im sure it would be beautiful and amazing in the sunlight. Rooms were very cozy.
Peter (10/5): - The Argyler is awesome!
Neisha (10/5): - Gorgeous room- can’t say enough about the captains quarters and the property is beautiful. Fantastic breakfast and the owners are so sweet and friendly. Wish we could’ve stayed longer
Cari (10/5): - Beautiful property, look forward to visiting again in the summer
Andrii (10/5): - The room is immediately clean and airy with spectacular view. The staff is helpful and caring.
Wayne (10/5): Our oasis in this part of Nova Scotia - Not our first visit and not our last as this property is our oasis in this part of the province. The food, charm, service, pet friendliness, and pure relaxation brings us back.
MICHELLE (10/5): - Beautiful setting, professional and welcoming staff.
byron lance (8/5): - Location was great and building beautiful
Jodie (10/5): - This is a great place to stay right on the water. It's quiet and beautiful. The breakfast was wonderful. The restaurant was closed on the night we stayed but was given a great recommendation to eat at Tusket brewery. Highly recommend staying here.
Larry (10/5): - Our room was fresh and clean.
Rhonda (10/5): - Amazing view. Friendly and helpful owners. Breakfast was delicious
Joy (10/5): - Lovely - we did this as a stopover wish we would have had a day to relax there.
David (8/5): - Clean lodge style accommodation with onsite dining overlooking the sound. We had a room in the lodge, clean and fresh, no complaints!
Lisa (10/5): - Scenery at Lobster Bay was so serene. Peaceful & beautiful. Lodge is immaculate & super comfortable bed!
Aileen (6/5): - When I booked it, it was for the restaurant in an isolated area that looked beautiful. They let me know that they were closed for dinner that night after it was too late to cancel and provided dinner recommendations. We got there and checked in at about 6. After getting settled, about 6:30, we called the closest restaurant (20 minutes away) and found out they closed at 7. The others were 40 minutes away, We made it for a rushed dinner (the restaurant was good enough to provide a great dinner and stay late for us). The room was too small and packed with large furniture.
Michael (10/5): - Magical
Sandy (8/5): - Beautiful property right on the ocean. Rooms a bit dated but it was very clean and the staff were accommodating with our late arrival. It’s a nice option in that part of NS. Breakfast was great.
Rick (10/5): - Ye Olde Argyler is a hidden gem. It a bit out of the way from the typical touristy stuff, but if you want a peaceful place to stay, this is it.
Susan (10/5): - Great escape
Sarah (10/5): - Quaint lodge with great staff. The breakfast was wonderful!
r m (6/5): - On my last night there, with a four hour ferry ride and a five hour drive ahead of me I got one and a half hour night sleep. There was a buzzing sound that kept me up all night. I can't say it was the fault of this establishment but it was coming from the wall. So I can't give a better review.
Beatrix (6/5): - The property is located on a beautiful bay. The room was clean but poorly laid out. Large bathroom had a small pedestal sink - only spot to place cosmetics was on the toilet. We paid for oceanfront and the Ocean front room had a tiny high window - stand on your tiptoes to see the view. The way the bed was placed under a low ceiling you'd bang your head getting up. Would not return.
Chantal (10/5): - This property really does take your breathe away. It's peaceful and serene. We enjoyed both our supper and breakfast at the lodge. Everything was homemade and delicious.
anu (10/5): - I recently had the pleasure of staying at this Lodge, and I can't speak highly enough about my experience. From the moment we arrived, the personable treatment we received made all the difference. Despite arriving late, the check-in process was seamless and stress-free, which set a positive tone for our stay. The room itself was spacious, providing plenty of room to relax and unwind. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. I was pleasantly surprised to find the AC already set and running, which was a thoughtful touch given the late hour of our arrival by Elana. One of the highlights of our visit was how quiet and serene the property felt. It was a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy our surroundings. We stayed only for one night but honestly wanted to stay more. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at The Lodge and would definitely return. The combination of comfortable accommodations, and a peaceful atmosphere made for an unforgettable stay. Highly recommended!
mark (10/5): - Lovely grounds and location, directly on the water. The photos don't at all do this property justice. We had a peaceful and very pleasant stay.
Lauren (10/5): - Excellent customer service, very clean rooms and a beautiful location. We are going back next year. We loved it at Ye Olde Argyler Lodge.
Annette (10/5): - Peaceful evening with amazing views!
Arnold (10/5): Great find - A great find. Staff friendly, food excellent, view stupendous. Rooms had character and were clean. Thoughtfully appointd throughout.
Susan (10/5): - The people at Ye Olde Argyler Lodge were very friendly, they went over and above to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. The whole area had the friendliest people I've ever met! It was an amazing vacation. We're going back and my other sisters are coming! I would definitely recommend this lodge as a place to stay. Just note the restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday but breakfast was served and it was delicious.
Bradley (10/5): - Quaint wonderful accommodations! Personable engaging hosts! Authentic Scottish atmosphere! We plan to return and experience their day trip ideas!
Michele (10/5): - This lodge was the highlight of our trip! We can't say enough good things about the Argyler. The service was top-notch, the food at their restaurant was amazing, the wine/beer/cocktail selection was excellent, and the view and atmosphere were comforting. We stayed in the Midship room, and it had a double bed and a single bed, which worked well for us (two cousins travelling together). The AC unit is a standalone unit, which may be loud for some, but we loved the noise for sleeping. The Midship faces east so when the sun comes up, there is lots of light to wake you up!
Sharon M (10/5): - It had amazing views, 5 star food and friendly, helpful staff.
Margaret (10/5): - Lovely property and accommodating staff. Should be aware the restaurant closes at 8 and immigration and customs from ferry can be time consuming. Bummed we missed the sunset with the fog but added its own charm!
Debra (6/5): - Staff were friendly & sunset across the water was beautiful. Enjoyed our meal at the restaurant. The bed however needs a refresh - the spring mattress was creaky & saggy and the air conditioner so loud we had to shut it off to sleep. A fan might be a better option?
Mark (10/5): - This is a spectacular property. We would love to spend more time in the area enjoying the scenery. Will definitely use again if we are ever back this way. The premises were exceptionally clean, Elana and the staff responsive and courteous, and the food delicious.
Christine (10/5): - Beautiful property with awesome view. The deck was so relaxing and our dinner absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend for a quiet get away.
Cynthia (10/5): - A little remote but beautiful views of the sunset a d sunrise. Super friendly and helpful. I would recommend for sure
Debra (10/5): Beautiful views! - Beautiful setting right on the bay!! Nice grounds to walk around in, complete with Adirondack chairs and seating on the deck. Our room had a wonderful view! Everything was very clean. The restaurant was excellent!!
Denny (10/5): - Absolute magical stay and accommodating staff. High recommend and will definitely be back. Best lobster Mac and cheese I have ever had.
David (10/5): - We had never been to the Argyler before. The setting is idyllic in a rustic sense. We stayed in the inn, though they have a small number of cottages on the property. Our room, clean and appointed with all we needed, looked out on the many islands of the Argyle Sound. The inn is close to the Acadia community of Lower West Pubnico, which has what must be one of the largest fishing fleets in Nova Scotia, and superb seafood restaurants. Overall, a great experience. We’ve already booked to come back again next year, and added an extra day so we can explore the local area.
Betty (8/5): - Although the property is very nice and the lodge is beautifully situated, our room was small and dark without enough surfaces for placing toiletries etc. The meal in the dining room was excellent.
David (10/5): Nice spot! - We arrived late and left early so didn’t get to enjoy the grounds much, plus it was fairly foggy. Service was exceptional for both check-in and breakfast.
Susan (10/5): - Room was small with only one little window but it did face the water A/C noisy but effective! Great deck to sit outside for drinks near water
Sandra (10/5): - The room was comfortable and had a pleasant view of the valley below. We enjoyed the restaurant. The only negative is the plastic bottles of water when you arrive in the room. The message is that the tap water is not good to drink but it tastes fine and they serve it in the restaurant.
Arnold (10/5): - What a beautiful place to rest yourself. Gorgeous landscaping and views. Well done!
Charlotte (10/5): - Beautiful lodge. Beautiful views and to top it off awesome front staff and waiters. Highly recommend
Margaret (8/5): - Beautiful inn. Had wonderful lobster bake and clean comfy room
Tina (8/5): - Nice lodge if you’re looking for some relaxation. Clean & comfortable room, good communication. We arrived late from the ferry & easy instructions. Minor comments is it would have been nice to have a complimentary bottle of water. 10:00 am is an early check out time, but it was not an issue checking out at least an hour later.
Mark (6/5): Cute but ?? - Nice location, room very small coffee maker broken, shower enclosure very sketchy. Restaurant over rated and over priced, food was nothing special. Wait staff didn’t know much about overpriced wine. Wanted boiled lobster dinner but apparently the chef is allergic to lobster??? On Lobster Bay in Nova Scotia?? Maybe need 2nd chef. Don’t get me started on the mosquitoes!
Katherine (10/5): - Beautiful spot awesome staff
Kelly (10/5): Do it! - The Inn was charming! Our room was very comfortable. The lobster roll we ordered was amazing. The owners and staff were attentive and managed to cook a delicious breakfast during a widespread power outrage!
Edward (10/5): - Lovely spot, staff helpful and anticipated nicely our late arrival
nancy (10/5): - Beautiful property
Mihaela (10/5): Perfect vacation stay - Amazing quaint place with stunning water views. Awesome room, stylish, very comfortable and clean. Great food. Everything just perfect!
Leslie (10/5): - This is a special place with an excellent staff.
Jim (10/5): - Beautiful site. Gracious hosts…
John (10/5): - Good facility in a beautiful spot
Richard (10/5): - Great communication with the owner. Very comfortable room with exceptional views. Bed was excellent. The property had lovely landscaping. There's not enough space here to rave about the breakfast and dinner! Delightful overall experience.
Valery (10/5): - It was an ocean front property with outdoor dining in season.
Lee (10/5): - Quiet, very comfortable, beautiful property. The restaurant had closed for the season, but they still offered a pre-ordered meal, which was excellent. Super nice people, too!
Daiel (8/5): - very pleased setting
virginia (10/5): - This is an absolutely beautiful property! Large porch on the water is peaceful. Rooms are decorated and have amenities that are carefully thought out. Restaurant wasn't open for dinner on the day I was there but for $15 you could have a cooked to order breakfast. Nicely done! The property is in a rural location but is well worth the effort to get there!
Theodore (10/5): Extraordinary place - This is an absolutely amazing place to stay. We stayed here on our first night and our last night of a 9-day vacation in Nova Scotia. Relatively close to the ferry, beautiful and peaceful setting, absolutely wonderful and welcoming staff. I would recommend this in a heartbeat
Verified traveler (10/5): Wow! HiddenGem 11 out of 10 - Beyond amazing! Loved everything about the place! The room was so nicely decorated and sparkling clean! The dining room and the food were stunning The location was beautiful, everything well cared for The owners were lovely. We were sad to leave
Maureen (10/5): - The inn was lovely. Room and breakfast 👍.
Penny (10/5): - Lovely inn and resturuant! Food was fantastic, service was great, the rooms are super comfortable, and the view...minus the fog...was wonderful!!
Jamie (10/5): - One of the most charming hotels I have ever stayed at. Beautiful views and very friendly service.
Joanne (10/5): - The location is perfect. You can walk everywhere. Our room was gorgeous and very spacious, and the breakfast was awesome. The woman who helped us to check in and out (whose name I can’t remember) couldn’t have been any nicer!
Hugh (10/5): - The Lodge is right and the water facing West, so we were treated to a spectacular sunset while eating dinner on the deck. The lobster mac and cheese was phenomenal.
Susan (10/5): - The staff were amazing they reached out to see if we would like dinner upon arrival, they accommodated us with a fire, and late check out. They were lovely and sweet and it’s such a beautiful location. The sunset was gorgeous!
