“Perfect place for a romantic and relaxing stay”

Reviewed 16 January 2012

My fiance and I stayed at the Old Lantern Inn for two nights in June during a two week vacation on the east coast and just days after he proposed. The Old Lantern was amazing. We had never stayed at B&Bs before this trip but we stayed at the Queen Anne in Annapolis Royal and the Old Lantern and loved them both. We weren't sure what to expect at a B&B but found the Old Lantern to be very private, comfortable and welcoming. We felt at home.

We stayed in the L'Acadie Blanc. The room was upstairs, so yes it might not be ideal for an older couple as one reviewer pointed out, but it was quite suitable for us. The bed was very high and I had to use the step stool to get in, but I kind of liked it. The room had a tv and some old movies in a drawer. The tub was nice. We had a view out into the vineyards.

The breakfasts were great, although I am pretty sure we were offered the same choices both mornings. The location was okay if you don't want to be right in town and want to relax. We walked over to the winery next door for a nice lunch one day. It is only a short drive to town. All in all, I loved the Old Lantern Inn and the time we spent in the valley, it was so relaxing. The inn was very quaint and was a nice change to the typical hotel room. I would definitely love to return if I am ever on the east coast again.

Room Tip: I debated whether to pay more for one of the larger rooms downstairs but was completely satisfied wi...

“Wonderful, Relaxing Weekend!”

Reviewed 15 January 2012

This is exactly what my wife and I needed!
We stayed 2 nights in the Marechal Foch room and ... just ... relaxed... The bed was comfortable, breakfast was great, and the roaring wood stove made the whole inn ever so warm and cozy while the wind howled outside...
We recomend this to everyone and we will be back!

“Location,Location, Location”

Reviewed 19 November 2011

This B & B is next door to the Domaine de Grand Pre vinyards and winery, which includes
Le Caveau, a fine Restaurant. The B & B fronts part of the vinyard, so one walks from the B & B through the vinyard to the winery and restaurant. This property is also well located for exploring the region. The rooms are clean, breakfast well prepared, and there is pleasant outdoor seating with the vinyard as a backdrop for that before dinner drink. Our party consisted of two senior couples and we stayed two nights. I left my hearing aids behind and the owner mailed them to my home in the U.S. at no charge!

“Can't Wait to Return!”

Reviewed 9 November 2011

I surprised my husband with an overnight getaway to The Olde Lantern Inn and dinner at the neighboring Le Caveau Restaurant. It was a "Wow" experience all the way!

The Inn is charming and comfortable. We stayed in an upper floor room which had views of the winery and the bay. The room was a good size with post & beam construction and a cathedral ceiling. The beautiful four-poster bed was oh-so comfortable to sleep in. The room also had an electric fireplace and inviting wingback chairs where we enjoyed a glass of wine before dinner. The bathroom was nicely laid out and had a whirlpool tub & shower with bath amenities provided. In the morning, as the sun came up, the views of the winery and bay were beautiful!

The owner, Alan, was a wonderful host. He greeted us warmly, made sure the lanterns were lit for our walk next door to the restaurant, and cooked a delicious breakfast for us the next morning. Our only regret was that we could only stay the one night but we are definitely going to return for a longer stay so we can explore and enjoy the beautiful property.

We would not hesitate to recommend Olde Lantern Inn!

“Beautiful spot in the vineyards!”

Reviewed 16 October 2011

The room was just as the website described it - the bathroom was great - the ambience with the candle lit walk to Grand Pre was so beautiful.
If you want breakfast - it is served early 7:30 - 8:30 and be on time!

Room Tip: Choose the vineyard view on the first floor!
