Guest Reviews

• Terrie (10/5): - Wonderful. Lovely room, beautiful view great wine.
• Elaine (10/5): - We stayed in Chalet #11 with a beautiful view of the ocean. The grounds were lovely with numerous seating areas. The suite was beautiful and comfortable. We wanted to stay forever!!
• Michael (10/5): - I can't recommend enough the Amherst Shore Country Inn. The location is slightly off the beaten track but the coastline and surroundings are gorgeous and the property is lovely, making it well worth the effort to get there. The unit I stayed in was perfect for one or two people looking for a special getaway and the direct access to the beach was a huge bonus:))))
• Valerie (10/5): - From the start to the end of our stay…perfect! Mary Rob and staff go above and beyond to make sure your time is nothing but special and memorable…Many Thanks to you all!
• Simone (10/5): - I loved that you can drive down or walk to the beach from your unit. The beach was equiped with chairs and table and also a gazebo. Very nice. The owner was very accomodating and pleasant. Everything was great! Thank you
• Joanne (10/5): - This was our 3rd stay & would highly recommend. Beautiful property & great hospitality.
• Annette (10/5): - Excellent facility, Mary the Chef was incredible very helpful. Looking forward to visiting again from California.
• Carolyn (8/5): - This was an unexpected find close to pugwash which we needed. When we arrived , the owner was expecting us , showed us right to our room. What was unexpected was the property itself. Absolutely beautiful gardens with a walking trail , lovey pond , private beach. After our li g drive we lived walking down to the water in the beautiful setting. Would stay again for sure
• Melissa (10/5): - Beautiful place for nice walks to the beach. Five stars on the meals, especially breakfast. Quiet room and very comfortable. The staff bent over backwards to be helpful. Loved the stay and hope to return next year!
• Catherine (10/5): - This felt like a hidden gem. Peaceful and beautifully manicured property on the Ocean with many spots to sit comfortably and enjoy the view and serenity. Dined at the property and the meals were 5 star as well.
• Susan (8/5): - The house itself was very unique. It was almost like a Bed & Breakfast. The owner was very nice and friendly. The property around the house was beautiful and had a beautiful view of the ocean. In the morning she prepared a delicious breakfast of scones, blueberry pancakes, OJ, and coffee. It was wonderful.
• Karla (10/5): - Our stay was absolutely lovely. Mary is a wonderful host and inn keeper. The property was gorgeous and the food absolutely terrific. 100% recommend the Inn for your next Nova Scotia vacation.

• jacqueline (10/5): - Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour dans cette belle auberge. L’environnement est splendide et l’accueil chaleureux. Nous avons pu savourer un délicieux diner et prendre un petit dejeuner tout aussi savoureux. Le prix de la chambre est peut etre un peu cher, mais nous y reviendrons avec plaisir
• Barbara (10/5): - Super süsse Unterkunft, man merkt das detailliert nachgedacht wurde was der Gast brauchen könnte. Sogar ein Make-up Waschlappen lag im Bad. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt auf Grund der individuellen Gestaltung. Wer gerne außerhalb von unpersönlichen Motel-Ketten reist, ist hier richtig.
• Joanne (10/5): - Beautiful property and a lovely view of Northumberland Strait. Very friendly and would go back.
• Jo-Ann (10/5): - Easy walk to the beach. Marvin (welcome committee cat) comfortable rooms with AC, fridge, comfy bed, nice clean rooms and showers, gardens to explore, outside seating with propane fire table. And the food is Gourmet delicious! The Chefs should have a Michelin star. The scallops and vegetables, scones/bread, lemon meringue pie - the best we’ve ever had! We highly recommend!
• Jeanne (10/5): - The property was beautiful and the patio outside of our room was wonderful. The meals were outstanding! Highly recommend.
• Debora (10/5): - We stayed our last night in Nova Scotia at the Amherst Shore Country Inn. It’s family owned and had a nice welcoming feel to it. Mary was so helpful and nice. The room was very nice and comfortable, the property is beautiful, right on the water, and the main part of the inn is cozy. It was a little rainy but we put on our rain gear and explored the grounds. Not only are the grounds beautiful but there are places to sit, to play games, and just relax. Our entire experience was delightful!
• Margaret (10/5): - Innkeepers were friendly and helpful. We had a chalet which included a sitting area (with sofa, arm chair and gas fireplace) and kitchenette. The sleeping area was furnished with a four-poster bed and jacuzzi. Bathroom was modern, pristinely clean. Breakfast was available at an extra charge that was well worth it. Only downside was the fact that dinner is only served 4 days a week. That said, the innkeepers mage helpful recommendations for nearby places. I definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.
• Richard (10/5): - Nice beach and accommodation.
• Joan (10/5): - A stunning “find.” Beautifully designed and meticulously cared for. Our highest recommendation. The strolls down to the water, through the meadow were enchanting, calming and easy.
• John (10/5): A family owned gem of a place - What a delightful stay! This 3rd generation family inn is located on the beautiful, quiet Northumberland Strait of Nova Scotia. The water is warmer there, the sand is solid and safe for wading or swimming. We stayed in a cabin with a kitchenette, expecting to make our own breakfasts. But after having breakfast there the first morning, we enjoyed it so much we decided to buy their delicious, homemade breakfasts every morning of our stay in their beautifully appointed dining room. We were there one evening when they served dinner and it was equally as delicious and lovely. If you are looking for a quiet, private spot with the option of either cook your own meals or enjoy their cooking, consider this place.
• Steven (8/5): - Beautiful and rather secluded location. Sadly they do not serve dinner except Thursday-Sunday, this means you need to drive 20-30 minutes for dinner on M/Tu/W. The breakfast was very good , but limited selection. The furniture in the chalets were old and cushions were uncomfortable.
• Michael (10/5): - Calming view of blue ocean and sky
• Dave (10/5): - Best dinner in Nova Scotia!
• Mary (10/5): - Loved the room and walking around the property.
• Tracy (10/5): - Beautiful inn on the beach. Excellent service and food was delicious.
• Margaret (10/5): - Great spot! Food is exceptional
• LAUREN (10/5): Lovely Inn - This is a quiet location and the views of the ocean are lovely. check-in was easy and pleasant. The room was in excellent condition for the age of the building. We would stay here again.
• Richard (6/5): - I’ve never posted a bad review, and I realize this might be out of their control….but There were literally DOZENS of mosquitoes in my room. I couldn’t fall asleep til 2am cause I had to try and get rid of them. And I still got bitten over and over all night long.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Large beautiful landscaped property. Delicious dinner and breakfast. Fresh baked scones and decadent desserts. The Digby scallops were cooked to perfection. Quiet room with a beautiful water view.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved the scenery and the overall property.
• Karen (10/5): - Beautiful place. Lovely grounds. Chalets was beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. Mary was very friendly and helpful. We will be back.

• Verified traveler (10/5): - The property was beautiful and it went all the way to the water!
• Amanda (10/5): - Great place. Plus have stayed longer to really enjoy it.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This is a charming place, wonderfully situated on a nearly private beach. Innkeepers are friendly but not invasive, rooms are carefully stocked with everything you could want and the food is scrumptious
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Mary was great! Breakfast delicious! Beautiful property Only slightly negative comment: our bed (#6) was too soft for us.. or maybe mattress needed 180 degree turn. Felt like head was “downhill” Would stay again and hope to spend time outdoors in the garden or down by the sea.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This property is beautiful and a must stay on the North Shore! The staff are fantastic, the food is amazing and the atmosphere can’t be beat. We will go back!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The property is gorgeous. It is 40 acres. They have done a remarkable job of keeping the wild look and mowing to give you walking paths to the sea.
• Stephan (10/5): 5+ Stars - 5 Stars is not enough for this place. Stayed here on our way to Nova Scotia. Had dinner and breakfast there - both excellent. The view, the accommodations - everything was top notch.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice staff; excellent meal. Dislike--having to reserve a place for dinner in advance.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful, quiet location on the shore, gardens and paths to walk, utter stillness and comfortable accommodations.
• chris (10/5): - !Amazing property grounds and food was 5 star!!!!!!

• Rod (10/5): - Quiet, on the water,great walking paths, beach to walk on, site for bonfires,chairs, tables available, well done.
• Susan (10/5): Lovely Inn - Amherst Shore Country Inn is a lovely place to stay. Thirty minutes from Amherst, the inn is located on a beautiful piece of property that runs down to the waterfront. Great for short walks and ocean views. The meals at the Inn are delicious. Our room was not large but well appointed with a view of the water.
• Phyllis (10/5): - Beautiful beach. Wonderful hosts who were superb cooks and bakers. It was very quiet with beautiful sunsets.
• Brad (10/5): - Great food beautiful spot . nice owners
• Mista (10/5): - Great accommodations, with great views and lots of privacy. The room/suite we were in was huge with a full kitchen, full bath with shower, hot tub, satellite tv.. a little deck to sit on and watch the ocean etc. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We heard the food is great as well in the dining room but we had made other plans. Would highly recommend this place and would stay here again anytime.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The grounds are stunning. The food was delicious. My bed was so high off the floor I had to use a chair to get into it (no joke--and I'm tall!)
• Verified traveler (10/5): A very nice area - Owners were very friendly and the coffee was the best that we ever had.
• Paul (10/5): Birthday surprise - I took my wife here for here 55th birthday. The chalet was clean and inviting, we enjoyed our stay. This was the first time we ate at the restaurant, the food was excellent and the service fantastic. we will be back in the summer.
