John and June Meehan were the perfect inn keepers to have at the beginning our a first visit to Nova Scotia. They were friendly, well informed and above all pleasant. They took the time to review our itinerary and gave us excellent tips for our adventure. Plus they provided excellent bed and breakfast accommodations. Even though it was overcast and rainy while we were there, the grounds were lovely. You can do no better than to stay at this place.

What a great surprise and what a wonderful introduction to Nova Scotia! We were two couples from Florida who wanted to see Nova Scotia. We divided the responsibility of planning our 8 days and nights between the two couples. My wife and i were to plan the first 4 days and nights we were there and she did the homework well. The Elephant's Nest was our first night in Nova Scotia and the plane was 2 hours late getting into Halifax. The driving instructions from the airport to the Inn were fine. After checking in, John and June gave us directions to an easy to find place for a lovely Nova Scotia supper that put all the tension of all the flight problems behind us.
In addition to wonderful, comfortable accommodations, they provided us an introduction to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island; history, economics, driving times and distance, and the people of this delightful place. That time spent at breakfast with John and June was the clearly one of the beneficial and memorable parts of our vacation. It really prepared us for the balance of our trip and made it most enjoyable. We cannot recommend a stay there more highly.

This was our last stop in Nova Scotia, and it left a lovely memory. June and John did an excellent job of making us feel at home and cared for. I will remember sitting on the porch swing at the back and soaking in the beauty of their amazing garden and the lake beyond. What a lovely setting! It's nice to be outside the city and still only 30 minutes from the fun ferry ride into Halifax. John gave us perfect written directions to the ferry and also to the airport. He's so thorough -- and so utterly charming! I think the trip was worth it just to meet him.

This was our third trip to Canada to visit family but our first to Novia Scotia. Research into B & B's (which we always try to do) certainly paid dividends and when it comes to 'location' 'location' 'location' this was fantastic. John and June (plus Annie and Ruby) made our stay so relaxing and they were fantastic hosts. There is little left to chance and everything has been thought through. As an example, they have a vast array of local maps giving places to visit - and we could have done with staying more than our five nights. A highlight was our trip to the 'Hope for Wildlife', amazingly personal.
Relax, sit out on the jetty or boathouse, close your eyes and........well, there's your 'piece of heaven'.
Highly recommended.
