"What an amazing little motel right on the Bay of Fundy! Any closer and you would be in the water ! It is absolutely charming and unique . The rooms are set up with everything you need including a kitchenette in the room we stayed in . Bathroom was newly remodeled . Bed, bedding and towels were awesome . The property next door had a stairwell down to the bay so when the tide went out we could walk on the ocean floor . It is the perfect location to check out the vineyards . Great restaurant called Longfellows very close by and we loved Benjamin Bridge winery ! You can’t go wrong with this unique and very special property !"

"Very easy check in and check out process! The room was beautiful, modern, cozy. We had everything we needed. Only downside was the bathroom door did not shut entirely which was a bit odd. We also went to use the hot tub in the evening and it was not very well maintained so we did not stay long. The property was beautiful and close to the winery/restaurants which was lovely! We would definitely stay again and will recommend to others travelling to Grand Pre!"

"Suites were spacious, beautiful, very clean and comfortable. Owners were very friendly and knowledgeable. Check in was very smooth. I had misunderstood my booking with Hotels.ca and thought I had pre-paid (I had not). Owner was knowledgeable about how the booking process worked and patient with me. He recommended I take my time to get settled and look at previous statements and could settle up in the morning. Very classy and professional! Room was spacious and very clean. Pool was very warm and beautiful. We loved stretching our legs poolside after a long drive and relaxing. Hit partridge beach at low tide for some exceptional rockhounding. 10/10"
