After coming down to eat breakfast at 10h10 , though it was 10h30 the cut off time…the person there just said sorry we are done at 10h00. She had plates full of food that she could have offered to us or even a cup of coffee…but instead just smiled ans said sorry breakfast is over. To me that is not customer service. If everything would have been cleaned no worries, but it just looked like she wanted to get it done and too bad for you.

We LOVED our stay at The August House. We were in town for a nearby wedding, and this was a perfect home base. Beautiful property, we felt safe and it was very quiet. Loved all of the little touches around the property. The self controlled AC was a bonus for two people who love a cooler temp, and the sound machine was a nice addition as well. Only good things to say. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

We found August House while planning to visit family in town. It was very conveniently located and easy to find. The decor was very cozy, beautiful, clean and thoughtful. It was such a pleasure coming home to this relaxing location at the end of our busy days. It is a shame we couldn’t stay for longer. Everything was so perfect, including the wonderful breakfast!

What a unique place! Breakfast was fantastic, the decor is gorgeous, the little extras were very thoughtful and kind. We found it because we needed a room to sleep 3, which dramatically reduced the options for us, but what a gem we uncovered because of it! We had a great time playing trivia games and listening to your excellent vinyl collection in the lounge in the evening. Definitely would stay again if we’re ever back in town!

The August House is a must stay!
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the charming August House, and I can confidently say it was one of most enjoyable accommodation experiences I have ever had. This family/friend -run gem truly stands out for its warm hospitality, cozy atmosphere, and attention to detail. The rooms are beautifully decorated, blending modern comfort with a touch of rustic charm. Everything was impeccably clean, and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the peaceful ambiance, which made it easy to unwind and relax after a long road trip. The staff are warm and incredibly friendly. Breakfast was a highlight of our stay. We were treated to a delicious variety of items including fresh coffee, yogurt, granola, bread from the local bakery and more.. it was also a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow guests and share interesting stories. The August House is a special spot located in the Annapolis Valley (Windsor, NS). A highly recommended stay!

Extremely clean, which I loved. The rooms were lovely and the fact that they were so clean made me feel very comfortable. We rented the suite (double rooms) to accommodate my two teenage children and it was perfect. Lots of room for everyone! I’ll recommend the August House to my friends and colleagues.
