As said before, this is a gorgeous house packed full of eclectic nick-nacks from various corners of the globe. The host was very forward in trying to make us feel at home but came off as rather eccentric. Breakfast was average. Kentville is a rather small town without much to do in town.

Were here 3 years back, Oct. 2008. The room in which we stayed had dust in corners, though nicely decorated. My elderly mother stayed in the coach-house, which was decorated with a collection of eccentric nicknacks and was rather musty smelling. The proprietor was friendly but maybe overwhelmed by looking after the whole place single-handedly (?) The breakfast was very... More

Upon arriving at Wickwire House, we immediately noticed the well-manicured lawns, well maintained home, and beautiful baskets of hanging flowers on the front veranda. We entered and were warmly greeted by Ghislaine, who gave us a tour of the house and showed us our room. Our room, which was huge, contained a king sized brass bed, and was well decorated... More

Great food. Lovely romantic, clean rooms. Cozy robes for lounging. A storytelling host and perfect location. Hope to come back.

Sometimes you find a gem. Here on top of a lovely hill with the view of fields at breakfast- a first class breakfast, to rival many restaurants. This spot sure has History and treasures and very friendly hosts. A few good stories and a very welcoming gazebo for socializing in the evening. It is close to many adventure sites- and... More

The dead plants on the front porch are a warning for what's to come. The host while genial was overly effusive. The rooms were spacious but dusty, musty smelling with worn, mismatched linens. The slippers for guest use were dirty; the robes were from goodwill. There's stuff everywhere! The breakfast was of extremely poor quality; everything was overcooked and left... More

This was a great little surprise in Kentville. We found it to be completely ready to make our stay enjoyable. The manager was full of stories and was very accommodating and helpful. The B&B is easy to find, plenty of room for parking, and spacious. Apparently this building started life as a boarding house and it's pretty easy to see... More

This decor in this B&B is what will stick in your mind. It is certainly eclectic and full of well...stuff - some antiques, some whatever. The owner is cheerful and helpful. The rooms can be a bit noisy since the building is on a major street. There is also some dust about, probably due to the number of pieces on... More
