"Cliffside BnB was wonderful. Amanda was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast had a variety of food to pick from. There was oatmeal, muffins, meats and cheeses to pick from, fresh fruit, croissants and breads, coffee and tea and more. The view of the ocean was beautiful. Lots of birds, and a nice breeze. I had a very nice experience at this BnB. I would stay again! Thank you Amanda :)"

Braeside Country Inn

8/10 Good

"It was a lovely spot with wi derful outdoor seating areas. The room was very clean and comfortable. The air co ditioner was noisy so we opted for open windows and the ceiling fan. Breakfast was alright."

Holiday Inn Express Stellarton by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean and on the first floor. It was very noisy starting at about 5 am. Breakfast was very good and opened early I assume to accommodate the working people. Staff was friendly and courteous but no recognition of IHG member. Not as nice of an experience as my previous stays with holiday inn."

Smith Rock Chalets & Retreat

8/10 Good

"It was a beautiful place to stay. The outdoor pool was clean and warm (cleaned every morning). The road to go in was a bit rocky, but well worth it. Lots of trails and outdoor activities. The deck could use some work & stain, also there were no chairs to sit on outside on either your own back deck or the main covered porch. The community bbq for the motel sites barely works and could use a cleaning. The rooms were relatively clean but could use a good dusting. We were able to get late check out, which was wonderful. The parking was an issue for the motel but that was mostly due to the guests inability to park NOT the place itself. We would definitely stay there again!!! I just wish the office was open longer and maybe had some sort of events going on for the campers. And had more to offer in the general office\store. BEAUTIFUL VIEWS THOUGH! Just bring your own chair LOL"
