We visited Wolfville on our visit to the Maritimes in July. We booked the Victoria's Historic Inn from the reviews that we read here at Tripadvisor and we found them to be fairly accurate. We were given one of the suites in a separate building behind the main house. This was fine for the three of us even though we found it a bit tight for space. But it was clean and we had no problems with it at all. The next morning, we went down for breakfast and found it to be more like a restaurant than a b&b. The lady who served us was very nice, but she was like a restaurant waitress. The breakfast was good and tasty. I only saw the owner when I was settling up my account. I had to step into the kitchen to thank her for the nice accommodations and breakfast. If there was anything that I would have liked to see, it was the owner coming out to say hello to her guests. The other b&bs that we stayed at on our trip to Nova Scotia seemed warmer because the owners were out there mingling with their guests. Other than that , it was a good stay.

I felt so welcome and well taken care of traveling with my teenage daughter to Wolfville for the first time- the owners were warm and lovely- what a beautiful place they have- loved the Inn- loved Wolfville

This is B&B is beautifully furnished with antiques, and we were given a great room, but had to leave because my friend has a severe allergy to cats. The owner couldn't have been nicer about it, however -- he waived our deposit and recommended a nice place just down the street.

It came as no surprise that in all of Nova Scotia, Glooscap (legendary demi-god - get the legends at the town's bookstore) picked Cape Blomidon on which to reside! This formidable praecipe overlooking the Bay of Fundy beckons to be climbed as soon as you lay eyes on it from this three-storied stately manse on Main Street. The Inn also includes a carriage house in the rear gardens. We were warmly greeted and acclimated to the Inn by Steve. Fine attention to detail and hospitality permeated our stay, and the entire staff anticipated our needs and expeditiously provided anything we requested, from directions to a Lunenburg kayak purveyor to a presentation of bedtime cookie treats from a local bakery. The Inn is very professionally run, and the ambience is upscale and friendly, yet very respectful of privacy.

Our cozy Alcove hideaway, perched on the top floor of the main house, had an enticing view of Cape Blomidon and the Bay of Fundy out the double swinging windows with screens, which enabled us to hear the distant surf in the tranquil Wolfville evenings. It appears that only The Alcove Room and the Executive Suite have this rear view, and it is spectacular! We prefered the Alcove Room, as it had no adjacent wall to anything but the hallways. The Alcove jacuzzi is an oversized oval jetted tub, but perhaps not as large as those billed as 2-person jacuzzis in the other suites. An electric fireplace and hurricane lamp candle were nice touches, as was a great little wicker vanity table with drawers and mirror. Storage is a bit tight in the room proper, but an ample closet with nice hangers housed the majority of our luggage and gear nicely. The bathroom has a large table with a shelf underneath for sundries. The towels were 4 star white cotton quality, though a bit on the small side. The shower's water pressure was moderate, and it took a while for the hot water to get up to the third floor. The AC unit is individually controlled and provided very nice climate control.

The park with the Cape's namesake is about a 20 minute drive from the Inn. Hiking trails within the Park afford one five lookout points with views of the magnificent Bay of Fundy. Plan on a minimum hour and a half hike on the trails. Nearby Halls Harbour has a Lobster Pound and the most beautiful sunset and easy beach access to experience the tide phenomenon while collecting very cool rocks. Lobster, scallops, mussels and other seafood is so fresh and inexpensive all over Nova Scotia that you will become spoiled! One observation we made was that most dishes are served with bacon, a culinary addition of which we grew fond.

The Inn's parlour is a great place to relax, and we availed ourselves of the high tea and treats served there upon request, while engaging in a board puzzle game on the afternoon of our arrival. Steve's in-house movie selection is quite extensive, as is his restaurant menu book. We tried the Liberty Tavern and Blomidon Inn in town, as well as Le Caveau at the nearby winery which we toured. The tasting room wines weren't very good, but the vineyard's best dessert wine, Dolce Vita, which we sampled at dinner, was wonderful. Restaurants tend to serve dinner from 5-8 or 9pm. which will come as a surprise for those traveling from more cosmopolitan areas. We discovered a Boston Pizza Sports Bar which stayed open until midnight in nearby Kentville, when one long sunny evening on the Bay of Fundy kept us out past dinnertime.

Breakfast at the Inn began with awakening to wafts of bacon from the kitchen. What others have termed lack of variety, I found flashback comforting to my New England British Isles roots. Scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and fruit are mainstays of the region's hearty fare, and it reminded me of what my mother cooked each morning before she'd send us off for the day. I do believe that prior writers' critiques have been considered, however, as we were offered egg alternatives as well as French toast over our three night stay.

The town of Wolfville is a college town, and after traveling to Lunenburg one day, we were glad to have opted for the Bay of Fundy side of the peninsula. There is an interesting bird phenomenon that takes place near the center of town, where swifts all fly into a chimney at dusk each evening at the Robie Tufts Nature Center on Front St. near Elm St. You have to see it to understand! The bookstore is a great place to find selections on local and Canadian lore, and Casa Bella was a cute gift shop. The Blomidon Inn gift shop to the right of the Inn hosts an eclectic mix of gifts on two floors, from bath and housewares to very uniques clothing, belts and purses.

Golf courses abound, and there are a half dozen within 20 minutes of the Inn. Ken-Wo Golf and Country Club is often full, so book ahead of your stay. Other courses in the Annapolis Valley are equally scenic and well maintained. A kayak trip with Pleasant Paddling in Lunenburg was a highlight of our trip, as was a visit to Halls Harbour at sunset playing in the surf and beach combing, as the tides of the Bay of Fundy came roaring in.

Three nights was not enough to thoroughly explore Wolfville and environs! The Inn provided a truly wonderful launching point for some truly memorable adventures.
