My husband, dog, and I are staying at the Bungalow Cottage at the Inn at Whale Cove. This cottage is perfect! It has privacy and is large enough to feel like our own home away from home. The view to the ocean is spectacular. The grounds here are beautiful and the flower beds are very pretty. The kitchen is fully... More

We have stayed at Whale Cove for many years, including as a young child in the 1970s. It's difficult - and not terribly helpful - to describe the many changes from then until now. What matters is the state of affairs today. Laurie Buckley, the proprietor, has achieved near perfection. The various cottages are absolutely fantastic, and allow one to... More

We stayed at Orchard Cottage which accommodated ourselves, our daughter and 3 grandchildren. The cottage is well equipped with lots of kitchen aids, 2 wood burning areas: wood stove and fireplace AND lots of wood and an outdoor BQ with briquettes supplied. The ambience is charming and we felt like we had stepped back in time almost 100 years. No... More

We have now stayed at the Inn at Whale Cove for twelve consecutive summers. We first discovered it when we came for dinner while camping at the Provincial Park. We were immediately enchanted by the setting as we came down the long drive which opens up to the cove. The dinner was exquisite, both in the imaginative menu and the... More

So glad I took Mother to the Inn at whale Cove.I went for long nature rambles with my camera whilst mum preferred to sit in the sun and read. All the food was fresh and top notch and we both slept like logs. I read Mother all the other reviews after we got home and we are planning our next... More

We have stayed here for years. The negative reviews are by the same disgruntled person who has never been there. This was the most perfect spot for a beautiful small wedding. The food was superb by any standards, the hospitality and service was flawless, and the accommodations were as they have been for decades - charming and warm. Thank you... More

I was transfixed by this lovely location when I arrived, but that enchantment quickly dissolved. Billed as a gorgeous getaway spot, I found it to be crawling with curiosity seekers checking out Willa Cather's cottage. Some famiies had taken over some of the cabins and the noise was very intrusive. To top it off the owner was extremely rude when... More

We have never stayed overnight at the Inn at Whale Cove/Cottages (we hope to in the future as we have seen the rooms and several cottages)...but we have dined twice in the restaurant (two separate trips to Grand Manan) and were absolutely amazed by the food. Chef Laura Buckley and her small staff all do a stellar job in the... More

We have been regular visitors to Grand Manan for eleven years, and the Inn at Whale Cove was a place we have stayed before. Although our experience was never stellar, we returned for the absolutely beautiful view, and the nostalgic yesteryear atmosphere. After our last stay, we will not go back. The beds were terrible, hard and creaky, the bedding... More

Our 8th year. We started out staying for two weeks and now are up to six. It's a totally unique place. Great food. Real accommodations. In a world of plastic places to stay? This is the real thing.
