located in a nice residential area of antagonish. This BandB impressed us with a perfect welcome, very clean and comfortable room, and very well appointed reading room for the guest. The breakfast was great and the hosts were very helpfull in providing information about the island.

Jim and Marlene were excellent and interesting hosts. The breakfast was fabulous and we spent some time discussing the food. For overseas visitors there is so much to learn that most North Americans take for granted and it is great to stay at a B&B with interesting hosts who themselves travel. As an added bonus we met some US travellers... More

We had stayed at two Victorian B & B's before this one and were a bit leery of it's modernity. No need to be because it was fabulous! The home was built with the idea of having it be a B & B - all the rooms are downstairs with a private entrance off the back. There is a nicely... More

Jim and Marlene went out of their way to make sure we were well hosted. The B & B rooms are on the lower floor (very bright) of a modern home. While there is no TV in the private rooms, there is a large, well equipped sitting area for all guests to share. We enjoyed a comfortable and quiet sleep... More

The only problem we had was that noise travels quite a bit and it was noisy. In the evening when guests arrived we can clearly hear... More

A very lovely spot. Beautiful home and very clean. Host and Hostess work very hard to leave a great first impression. The gardens are spectacular. This was a first for my husband and I staying at B&B's. The bedrooms give a great view of the backyard also. It would have been nice if we could have opened the windows and... More

This bed and breakfast has a lot going for it. It has a fantastic view, is exceptionally clean, and very well furnished. The hosts are accommodating and gracious and have a variety of amenities for travelers, including tea and cookies in the evening. The breakfast was wonderful and filling. Jim and Marlene made us feel welcome and comfortable.
