There is a tendency to gravitate to large hotels when travelling on business, but this Inn is a far superior option when in Yarmouth. Quite simply, they cannot do enough for you. The rooms are very clean and very comfortable, with that olde worlde sensibility that is so much more relaxing than the sterility of a big box chain. Breakfast... More

In my job, I travel all over Nova Scotia, spending lots of time in hotels. I am an allergy sufferer, so I cannot stay in smoking rooms, or in rooms where the air conditioner is running all of the time. The Inn has an air exchanger, and is 100% smoke and allergen free!! It was very nice waking up in... More

I appreciate your comments - truly. Personally I have breathing problems too - so when my partner and I restored this beautiful 1887 building we wanted to make sure our guests experience only the best. Again, thank you for your kind words and we look forward to your next visit. More

Take a step back in time! I just returned from a fantastic 4 night stay at the MacKinnon-Cann Inn while exploring the great golf courses in the area. This charming Victorian duplex has been painstakingly restored to its 1887 origins by co-owners Neil and David. No detail has been overlooked. There are seven distinctly different rooms upstairs with private en-suite... More

A really exceptional restoration which is immaculate and owners extremely welcoming. I stayed in the 1900 room but would have been happy in any of the others. Despite the immaculate presentation and antiques the inn retains a cosy atmosphere. Neil was very charming and his banana bread quite magnificent. I heartily recommend this inn and indeed look forward to returning... More

every year or two, busy travellers find a hotel that really captures the imagination: mackinnon-cann inn is one such. the design is simply stunning, with rooms themed to a particular era or decade. the service is exemplary and the food very good. in truth, however, the rooms are the star turn. pick an era from the 20th century and relax...

Our initial telepone contact with the owner of the Inn confirmed our very positive impression of their website. This beautifully restored Victorian home is hosted by a delightful, energetic, knowledgeable man who seemed genuinely determined to ensure our two day visit would be memorable. And indeed it was, thanks primarily to Neil, our host. Excellent breakfasts, helpful suggestions about places... More
