The Verandah B&B Has Bad Business Ethics and Zero Heart. In February, 2012, I booked 2 rooms for August 23, 2012 at the Verandah B&B in Halifax. Upon request by hostess Joan Robillard, I promptly sent a 50% deposit ($105.25) by PayPal. According to the Verandah B&B website, the deposit is refundable, on 48 hours notice. On July 30, 2012,...

Where do I start? Well, if you're looking for posh, spotless, and downright expensive, don't go to The Verandah. If you're looking for a sarcastic Easterner with a sharp tongue, and an "I don't really give a crap what you think" attitude, a decent room in a quirky and creaky old home AND YOU WILL LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT,...

The location of the Verandah B&B was fantastic for my needs - it is located just around the corner from the Rebecca Cohn and I was in Halifax for a performance there. I wandered into the Verandah and was lost for a few moments as I was standing alone in the entry way and before being greeted by Joan (I... More

We planned on staying at this B/B for 2 nights but we decided to leave 1 hour after we checked in - we had paid a one night deposit via Pay Pal so we lost the money but it was well worth not having to put up with Joan the owner. I had called her that morning to advise her... More

We chose The Verandah because of it's proximity to our activities but arrived to a most unpleasant welcome. Joan met us at the door and without even opening it told us how exhausted she was; we should have come earlier someone else had our room;and claimed we hadn't paid. We did get another room and she discovered we had paid... More

Like many others who went to The Verandah, we expected to enjoy our two night stay in Halifax. The B & B sounded central and pleasant, but the reality was not. The host was total chaos, although in a way interesting. We would never return to this bed and breakfast because the service was not at an acceptable standard (the... More

We had planned to stay in Halifax for a week this past August. We booked in January and put our 50% deposit down on the Blue Room and the Pink Room. We wound up changing our plans and cancelled our reservations 8 days before our originally scheduled arrival (well within the 48 hours required). I cancelled our reservations by e-mail... More

Readers will see from other reviews that experiences at The Verandah are variable. We will try to be objective. First: there are three options with bathrooms: a first floor bedroom with tiny ensuite, a first floor bedroom with good bathroom outside the door, and the loft which is large and has a good ensuite but is up a steep second...
