Wonderful place to visit. The chalets were very clean and well equipped. The food was fantastic. Had 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts and things couldn't have been better. We'll be back. More

The Inn was lovely. Airy, clean, rooms and guest chalets all well equipped and comfortable. The view was an ocean view over a green expanse of lawns and gardens. The food was fresh from the garden and delicious. Overall -a treat. We will be back. More

My husband and I found ASCI over 20 years ago on our first trip to the East Coast. We enjoyed our stay so much that we intentionally stayed again before heading back to Ontario on that trip. We have been back every year since -- we love the location, the hosts, and the food is fantastic! Although the Inn isn't... More

Nice venue with very big backyard and private beach. We were upgraded to a junior suite which was a nice surprise. The room was spacious en clean, and the bathroom had a whirlpool. Dining at the inn means great views of the garden and sea. Dinner itself was very good. This was also the case with breakfast: served to the... More

We stayed here for one night and went walking along the water. This inn looks tired from the outside and it is tired on the inside. Don't let that stop you. It is just the decor that needs work. We had a suite cabin and it was quite nice. The rooms at the inn are pretty small and rustic. The... More

We were taken aback at the accommodation quality of the Amherst Shore Inn after reading the reviews. The distance from Amherst itself made it a less than convenient location to use when visiting Amherst. The 1960's decor of the main Inn rooms were less than impressive (unless you enjoy pink frills) with nothing that could accommodate all our children adequately.... More

The inn is very welcoming, with comfortable rooms and the dinners are amazing. Wine list is good too. A nice surprise were all the fossils on the little beach, although they are actually from the fill brought in from other Nova Scotia locations. More

My wife and I stayed one night at the Inn in the double/twin room+dinner and breakfast package. The room was nice -- no particular frills but very comfortable. The room was a good size despite being much cheaper than the queen suites, which we probably would have stayed in if money was no object. The land the Inn is on... More

My husband and I initially booked a suite here for 1 night. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Mary, the owner, and she showed us our suite - it was actually half of a cottage with such tranquility and a great water view that we immediately booked in for a second night!! The suite was great! 4-poster bed, hot tub... More
