Detailed Reviews
This is a great find in a busy summer town. It's family owned and operated and there is spectacular attention to detail. Rooms are well equipped with Keurig, bottle opener, all the toiletries and decent wifi. There is a heated pool and plenty of towels in case you forgot yours. Breakfast is served in a bright room with a solarium attached, and you have the added bonus of chatting with the delightful couple who run the place.
Rooms are small but not cramped. Bed is a bit soft but still comfy. Only challenge we had was the very thin walls that let neighbouring TV, voices and snoring intrude a little bit.
We would definitely stay again next time we're in Parrsboro.

My partner and I were in the Parrsboro area for a short staycation and our accommodations were definitely worth writing home about. Our room was very clean and comfortable, the owners were very welcoming and made a great breakfast. There's a common room with games and a covered porch to make this an enjoyable place to spend quiet time. The location is extremely convenient, within walking distance to local attractions in Parrsboro. Thanks!

We had a great experience at this B&B in lovely Parrsboro.
A very warm welcome from Michael who is super friendly and very knowledgeable about things to do in the area.
Our room was gorgeous, loads of space, and the bed was super comfortable!
We had a dip in the pool, nice and warm and well maintained, towels provided too!
We stayed two nights so enjoyed two different breakfasts, pancakes with bacon one morning and delicious cheese omelette the next. Plenty of bakery items, cereals and juices too.
Our reason for staying in Parrsboro was to kayak out of Advocate Habour but this had been cancelled due to weather so we were so grateful to Michael for signposting some lovely hikes (2 nearby waterfalls and lighthouses) and we really enjoyed looking round Parrsboro.
This is a gem of a place, you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic stay. Room was lovely and bright. We stayed in the schooner room which was large and had 2 beds in a bed which is unusual and a lovely surprise. Breakfast was delicious. Lots of great recommendations regarding things to do. We were there after Canadian Thanksgiving so there was only one restaurant open in town but Michael and Adele warned us and we ate there both nights.

This beautiful bed and breakfast is a must stay if you're in the area! The owners are very dedicated to insuring you enjoy your visit. They took the time to speak with us upon arrival to see what they could do to make our stay the best it could be. We were leaving early in the morning to run a race nearby and the owners were so nice that they made us breakfast earlier than their usual time.
We will definitely be back as repeat customers.

We spent two nights at this wonderful inn, chosen specifically for the outdoor pool. The beautiful spacious rooms were a lovely find; the hot breakfast cooked for each guest by the owner was wonderful. There were fresh baked breads, rolls, sweets, as well as yogurts, fresh fruit, etc. The rooms were spotless, large bathrooms, bar fridge in each as well as air con, and did I mention the pool? Wonderful. We felt we were at a private resort! Highly recommend a trip to Parrsboro Mansion Inn. Adele & Mike will pamper you! Harbourview Restaurant in town, and the Wild Caraway Restaurant in Advocate (hour-drive) were great dining spots! Can't wait to go back to this fab inn!

Here only for a one night stay. the property is close to the town center and a bit off the road so very quiet. Also, they had just opened for the season and we were the only guests. The room was spacious. It was extremely tidy and clean. The beds were comfortable. The property was quiet. The included breakfast was a full meal and very tasty. We would highly recommend this property.

The owners are absolutely beautiful people!! I have an allergy to scents… they are scent free but the previous occupant must have used a strong perfume… the owners went above and beyond to make sure I was okay. We had room #3 which was a large room with 2 queen beds. The breakfast was fantastic and the homemade biscuits were decadent!
We will definitely stay there again!!

The folks that own the Inn had it for 25 days when we arrived. We were nervous that they might not have experience in running a B&B. Boy, were we wrong. These folks bent over backwards to make our stay enjoyable. The room was large with a comfortable king bed. Furnishings were amazing. There was a heated pool and the grounds were beautiful. We had access to the kitchen and someone in our group of 8 was even allowed to make the coffee before breakfast. The breakfast was the same for everyone (eggs and sausage) and was cooked to your liking. Bread and beverages were available for us as well. We sat in a screened in porch overlooking the grounds. It was a very pleasant stay and I highly recommend this Inn.

This is a bright and clean accommodation, well cared for and very thoughtfully decorated. The Schooner room where we stayed was large and the beds very comfortable. The hosts were very attentive, friendly and helpful with places to go in the area. Breakfast was excellent. Thanks to Michael and Adele for a great stay.

There is a door at ground level to some of the guest rooms but there is a step up from there to the breakfast room so it would depend if they can manage any steps at all.
Hello Pete,
Breakfast is served from 8am to 9:30am and it is a German Buffet breakfast with too many choices to list, like speciality cheeses and coldcuts, sometimes salmon ..... but also waffles with Maple sirup.... fresh fruit cocktail...! no hot dish like bacon and eggs!
Hope that helps and has make you hungry already!
Kind regards
Yes, all of our rooms have private ensuite bathrooms. Canada Select would not have given us 4.5 stars out of 5 without those. Thank you for asking! Kind regards
