Having spent a big part of my childhood around Bear River, it was time to come back for a Cherry Carnival in 2011.

Thanks to Gary and Ginny... More

A gem of a B&B. Charming house in a beautiful flowered setting. Ginny and Gary are wonderful hosts. Rooms are decorated beautifully and are immaculate. We ended our Nova Scotia visit here and it was perfect. More

On my ride from Halifax to Salmon River I found myself dead tired in Bear River and fortunately was directed to Barnwood Inn B&B, overlooking the beautiful Bear River Valley, on a quiet road.

The home cooked breakfast's were outstanding, especially compared to the way hotel's provide a continental breakfast (Ugh!). The... More
