Cute place to stay!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Pleasantly surprised. It is a very charming place inside with a lot of history. Staff is very pleasant. However the bed was well broken in ( big dip in middle) and could use some curb appeal. It has more positive then negative features.
- JOHAN (10/5): - Nostalgic and chararistic
- Verna (10/5): - The inn and restaurant are in a historic house. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the staff were helpful. The food in the restaurant was very good and featured some German choices.

- James (10/5): - Older home that once was the owners residence with restaurant attached,
Molly made check in easy . Rooms are cozy and clean. Comfortable bed , being an older home there is no refrigerator in the room but a unit is provided downstairs along with coffee, tea making facilities. We ate at the restaurant in the evening, great food with a German theme.

- David (10/5): A lovely stay - A lovely old house. Cosy, comfortable and clean old building combined with a friendly greeting and elegant furnishings all make for a lovely stay. We stayed in room #7 which is spacious, with a king sized bed and a bath. A couple of other rooms were smaller and looked a bit cramped but still very nicely furnished.

- Susan (10/5): - It was very lovely and the onsite restaurant was a bonus with a choice of Canadian and German cuisine and the owner is very sweet!
- Virginia (8/5): - Bed and breakfast style inn with a few rooms. the dinner we had out on their deck was the best part. the food was very good. the included breakfast was basic, not much to say on that. wifi was good, the room was small, and the bed needs replacing. there are no TVs in the rooms, so we watched stuff on my laptop after dinner. the sunset over the river after dinner on the deck was amazing.
- Jeffrey (10/5): - Second year that I've stayed at this Inn. Pleasant, quiet surroundings, clean room and excellent meals. Great spot to venture out to Clam Harbour or Martinique Beaches.
- Alice (10/5): Genuine hospitality in a lovely spot - Check-in was a bit awkward on a Tuesday-- but overall experience was great.

- KATIE (10/5): - I loved staying here. It’s quite the restaurant is downstairs, and had great food, the staff were all wonderful, the bed and room was comfortable.
Only downside was I arrived during dinner and had to park my motorcycle off to the side. I moved it closer about two hours later.

- Charles (10/5): - It is the people that make this a memorable place to stay. Everyone is so friendly, kind & helpful. Very quiet at night despite being next to a major road. We stayed over a Sunday night & it was only at breakfast the next morning we realized we were not the only guests! Be aware this is an older property, there are stairs to climb, & no tv although wifi is excellent. Make sure to take in the sunset from the deck, it really is spectacular.

The grounds are gorgeous with ample room outside to enjoy a drink or delicious supper from their restaurant. Their staff ensured we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Thanks!
- Vicki (10/5): - A small, family-run inn. Fabulous location, friendly staff, good food. The owner actually walked down to the sea to get water to boil our lobsters! If you are looking for an authentic experience that is NOT a chain hotel, this is it!
- David (10/5): - This was a very nice homie hotel. Enjoyed our stay.
- Tom Hagan (10/5): - Wonderful place. The owner takes great pride in providing a fantastic place to stay. The breakfast was perfect , and what a setting overlooking the water! Would definitely stay there again.
- Shawn (10/5): - I have booked a number of trips over the years in expedia. This is the first time I felt like taking the time to write a review.
What went from being just a place to stay to check out the area, ended up being a highlight of our trip. The property is amazing and has no shortage of character. The property owner and staff are some of the nicest heart warming people we have ever met.
Some of the scenery around the area was very nice. But the stay was definitely a highlight. We will come back again the next time we are in the area.
I feel Salmon River Country Inn is under rated and if any group of people deserve a visit, its these folks.
- Edward (10/5): - A
- Chalene (10/5): - Such a sweet little place! Very welcoming and with me being celiac I was very surprised with the special accommodations for the continental breakfast!

- Zachary (10/5): - This is a very cute gem of a find. My wife and I booked this room as she had business nearby the following day.
We were greeted by welcoming staff at what seemed to be a very cool dinner event (unfortunately we had other plans so needed to sit the event out, but was very welcoming to walk into nevertheless).
Our room, while smaller than expected was very cozy with a large bathroom attached.
The breakfast the next morning was fantastic; an excellent assortment of food and prepared for the time you specify, I was very inspired by the work the propreitors put into their guest satisfaction.
I highly recommend a stay here.
To note there are no TVs in the room (wifi connection is good however so you can easily stream with a mobile device), plus it is a beautiful spot along the number 7 hughway, really theres lots to do anyways.
The jetted tub room has a nice large tub as well, really great for a romantic getaway
Thank you for a pleasant experience!
- Douglas (10/5): - We lucked into a reservation here. The staff was fantastic, especially for cooking (try the fish and chips) and service (the recommended beer was just what we were seeking, dark and rich and smooth). The view of the Salmon River from the dinner veranda and room was first rate. I appreciated the king bed and the motion sensor quiet light in the bathroom. Good wifi. The restaurant was at that point only open for lodgers, so was serene.
- Chung (10/5): Margit the wonderful. - My stay at the Salmon River Inn was the best! Friendly and helpful service with knowledgeable staffs. The food at the dine in restaurant was fabulous and generous in portions. Margit the owner is now my favourite person on the Eastern Shore.
