The house itself is older, but that is what makes it charming. Although we came in late and had to leave early Marla was quite accommodating and we did our best to be quiet and not disturb anyone. Delicious waffles for breakfast and the table setup was like something from 75 years ago. Delightful stay not far from the downtown and Halifax airport make it very convenient.

Would highly recommend - wonderful experience
This was our first stay at a B&B. It was a great first experience! Marla and Darrell were wonderful hosts - very welcoming and they worked to make sure we had everything we needed. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was everything that others posted. The house had a great ambiance and was very nicely decorated. We enjoyed sitting by the fireplace in the evening and reading.
