Digby County Beach Vacations

The hotel is a beautiful piece of architecture. The staff were professional and very helpful and the room was clean and lovely. Also, the complementary breakfast was fabulous as was dinner. I took a short hike on their wooded exercise trail which was quite nice as well. On the downside, I was disappointed to learn that the pool is only “seasonally heated” and the temperature, according to a man who was wearing a device that read the water temperature, was only 72°F which I believe is about 22 C. Having worked at a hotel with an outdoor pool for several years, I know most people cannot tolerate such a low temperature and the few people I did see jump into the water jumped out just as quickly! It was particularly annoying since they advertise having a heated pool without saying anything about the “seasonal” part. Also, their workout facility was terrible with only some free weights, a fitness ball, no mats and only one piece of fitness equipment with an out of order sign hanging on it! Lastly, the elevator was out of order over our stay which was very inconvenient as many of their guests are older people.

Lovely place with a great view and comfortable beds. Virginia and her staff are the definition of east coast hospitality. 6 stars out of 5
