Great stay at a nice B&B. Clean spacious rooms, great service and a wonderful breakfast. I can recommend this place. It is walking distance from the city centre, as well as being conveniently located in the city. Cheap and feeling of home.

Stayed here a couple of times while in Halifax. The ladies who own and care for the place and guests are awesome. Rooms are great and good value as well. The house is huge and has great character. The resident cat is always a charmer

I stayed for 2 nights when travelling in Halifax. I was able to get the room at half price due to a Deal Find coupon. I wouldn't pay full price to stay there-the place overall needs general upkeep and a good cleaning. The breakfast was not the usual nice items you would find in a bed and breafast, such as... More

I spent a week travelling all over Nova Scotia, and this was by far the worst accommodation I had. It is an old victorian home that is run down and sadly in need of renovation. It is over-priced for the amenities. It's dirty. The proprietor (whose name I don't remember) was nice, and even offered to let me leave when... More

We had a wonderful stay. The hostess Sheila was warm and friendly. Our room on the top floor was comfortable and roomy -- with living room, dining area, working desk, ensuite bathroom and kitchen, especially the little private patio was our favorite. Breakfast was hearty and delicious. It's a little bit off the center of Halifax but still very convenient,... More

We stayed at the Fresh Start B&B for two nights in mid-September. The B&B itself is a lovely Victorian home that is beautifully furnished and well-kept. Our room on the first floor was huge with high ceilings and a fireplace (though we didn't use it). We shared a bathroom with one other room. Therein, the toilet is in a pretty... More

The room was very nicely decorated with beautiful furnishings and a comfy bed. The shared bathroom could be reached via a separated passageway. Breakfast included a hot dish, cereals, toast with a variety of muffins baked the previous day. The owner was friendly but very busy and businesslike. With free WiFi and a bus stop just a block away an... More

Enjoyed our stay here immensely. The room was spotless, with extra blankets and pillows if needed. Even though we were on the street side of the house, very little traffic noise came through. We shared the bathrooms with other guests upstairs, but never had a problem accessing the bathroom. The bathrooms were very clean with plenty of clean towels. Breakfast... More

Overall our experience was OK. It is located a 1/2 hr walk from the historic district of Halifax and free parking behind the b&b was a plus. The owners were cordial however, they didn't go to the usual lengths to make our stay memorable. They were not particularly forthcoming with information on what to do and where to eat. They... More
