We (a 60-ish couple) picked this property partly based on favorable reviews on tripadvisor, and we were not disappointed! We took a week's vacation in "Downeast" Maine and opted for a side-trip just over the border to St. Stephen and St Andrews, NB, and reserved a night at Blair House in early Nov 2011.

This is a grand Victorian house, both outside and inside, meticulously set up for the guest, and convenient to downtown St Stephen in a quiet neighborhood.

Our host, David, made us feel entirely welcome and at home. He set out an evening tea at about 8 PM. He is an easy conversationalist and has just the right personality for this job while leaving us enough "space" to rest up and relax on our own. Breakfast was outstanding with a "full English" offering but we opted for some great blueberry pancakes instead. The dining room is partly a conservatory with large plants against a bank of east-facing windows (where we were fortunate to enjoy a clear sunrise - not guaranteed at this time of year!). The lodging, evening tea, breakfast and overall experience were well worth the reasonable rate. The house strikes the perfect balance between historical presence and modern convenience. If you just want modern I'm sure there's a Holiday Inn or Marriott for that.

We look forward to returning to explore this area (bring passports) and as a stopover between our home north of Boston and points east such as PEi, Nova Scotia, Fundy National Park, etc. BTW, remember this location is on Atlantic Time or you might miss breakfast!

The B&B's website is very comprehensive and helped us evaluate this property. Oh, there is free WiFi which we as photographers were happy to use in our work.

Good welcome and offered tea and coffee making facilities

On our recent leaf peeping trip we stopped at Blair Inn and were not disappointed.The inn was great very clean and well cared for..Innkeeper David was a real plus from his email with directions and info to his welcoming. He was very informative and extremely helpful we enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate and cookies while talking with him in the lovely living room the evening we arrived.We were booked into a room with 2 single beds as everything else was booked but David told us this upfront and would move us if a cancellation occured which didn't but the twin beds were fine and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and there were choices for us to order.it was served in the beautiful dining room. The fresh fruit cup had to be the best we ever had. All in all this was a great find

The house is beautiful and comfortable place to call home for one night. We were on our way to Saint John and wanted to stay in Canada rather than the US so that we would cross into the Atlantic time zone and start our next day one hour ahead. The rooms were comfortable and roomy, and the homemade breakfast was delicious.
