Why is The Blockhouse Hill B&B #1 in Dartmouth? Two words, "Fred and Marion". Did you have fun grandparents that spoiled you? Well if you did its like that, if you didn't then you owe this to yourself to stay here . The Location, is perfect as its close to the ferry and "Two if by Sea" cafe, the Celtic... More

At the end of a four month trip around the world, mostly staying in hostels and B&Bs, Fred and Marion welcomed me into their warm home and made me part of the family. This review is late, as I stayed at the end of the season, and they stayed open to give me a wonderful room for a week so... More

I could tell by Fred's FM-radio DJ voice that he'd be a great story teller, much like a young Ronald Reagan. I was not wrong. Along with Marion's fabulous cooking, he made breakfast the best part of my day with inspirational, "get up and get going" encouragements like you'd hear from Mitt Romney. He has a depth of knowledge that... More

My wife and I booked a night in late September, 2012 at the Blockhouse Hill B&B. We found this place by looking at B&B's near Halifax, NS, but I don't remember which web site. The owners are simply great. We talked to them on the phone from our home in Madison, WI, and received well written, easy to understand directions... More

Fred and Marion are the best hosts, friendly and take great care of their lovely home. They made our stay a wonderful one. Delicious breakfast, clean and comfortable bedrooms, walking distance to the Halifax ferry, would love to stay at here again.

Marion and Fred are very hospitable. We were met every morning with smile, stimulating conversation and great food. the beds were very comfortable and the rooms are spacious. We shared the bathroom but it was never an inconvience. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone.

I stayed in the Alderney Room with beautiful old furniture and a very comfortable bed. There is a small lounge for the guests use with... More

This B&B was very clean and walking distance to the ferry and many restaurants. We were served a huge breakfast (gluten free for my husband) with fresh baking. It does have a shared bathroom but this was not a problem at all and it was very reasonably priced. It would be easy to hop on the ferry to go site... More

I had the pleasure of visiting Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, in August and staying at the Blockhouse Bed and Breakfast. I was very pleased and more than satisfied both with the amenities offered to guests, and the hospitality that was extended by the vendor, Fred and Marion Evans. The room was most comfortable, private and quiet with a separate sitting room... More

... and wonderful antidote to the multiple frustrations of flying United. As our UA flights out of Newark were cancelled then delayed, we arrived in Halifax past midnight and at Blockhouse Hill around 1.30am. Fred was waiting up for us. He also arranged for the car he'd earlier booked for us to meet our late arrival. On top of all... More
