Hi Randy - thank you for your review. Breakfast is available everyday and we let people know where to find it in personal notes left in your room - perhaps you didn’t see this? It’s a total bummer you folks missed it!

We had a wonderful time. The owners were extremely helpful and very friendly. They send suggestions of places to visit that we followed up on and they met our needs for exploring the area. We felt right at home and were very comfortable in this beautiful house. We would strongly recommend The August House to all our friends and family.

The August House is a gem! Beautifully redone centennial building with perfect modern touches. Several common livingrooms, record player, long dining table for eating or work, large common dining room with homemade quick breakfast. Extra large parking lot beside the house, easy entrance access, front steps were decorated for fall, our room was cozy and perfect for our needs. I loved that there was a small kitchen area with fridge, coffee maker, dishes for our use. Intamite touches upon arrival made us feel special (personalized note and delicious shortbread cookies). Any questions we had were answered right away. I will be staying here every time I come to the area (we were visiting Wolfville). It is worth every penny ❤️

The property owners were excellent and very welcoming! They were responsive to questions prior to our visit. The August House is a lovely old home which has been beautifully renovated. Angela and Collette thought of every detail to make our stay very pleasurable. A warm and delicious breakfast featuring local food/products was available each morning. We met some other travelers and had some friendly conversations in the breakfast room. Would highly recommend staying at this property.

booked on a whim needing some place close to Halifax and am now looking for an excuse to go back! the whole space is a perfect balance of historic details and contemporary comfort. super clean. and the soaking tub was worth the splurge on a slightly more expensive room. the breakfast is modest, but amazing (think still warm scones and house-made yogurt parfait rather than trays of bacon and eggs). i was also 'that guest' with some problems with my dates and check-in on my end and the staff were amazing at resolving everything with ease and creativity. finally there's some great eating in Windsor, it was another unexpected surprise!

We stayed at August house while travelling for a sport competition and I cannot say enough about the hospitality and the accommodations. Everything was perfect and rooms were spacious and well-appointed. Hotel was kind enough to make yogurt parfaits for our daughter before her early morning competitions. Very thoughtful! I highly recommend August House; we didn’t want to leave!
