The Pebble: no other B&B holds a candle to this lovely establishment…read more We absolutely loved our stay and would come back again and again without hesitation. Everything was clean and well appointed. Maid service each day. Elizabeth and her husband (he was away for work while we were there) and their daughter Lizzy (college student) were an absolute delight. Elizabeth has been in the B&B service industry for a while, and she knows how to delight and serve her customers. Elizabeth is gracious like a family member and we feel like we gained a wonderful new friend in her and Lizzy. Ask Elizabeth to tell you about the romantic story about how she named The Pebble! We miss the Pebble already, and you will not regret staying here! Location: Perfectly situated in an affluent and highly desirable location, just far enough away from the city center, Dal University, the lake and all major highways. Price: Perfectly matched for this lovely and well-appointed B&B. You will find much cheaper, but they are not even in the same league as The Pebble. We found the price rightly valued and much more that we asked for. Kids: We have a 3 years old and Elizabeth accommodated us with a small mattress which we put on the floor; this was perfect! The room is very spacious which allowed all three of us to have ample room to do our own thing. Breakfast: This was included in our stay. Elizabeth is seriously a gourmet chef and our breakfasts were so decadent each morning--we felt so taken care of.

The setting on side street in a quiet neighborhood made for a relaxing stay at the property and the location was perfect for getting to and from the city center and other nearby sites.

The accommodation was excellent as were the wonderful breakfasts. If Halifax is included in future travel plans we will stay at the Pebble again.

This is a review that I've been dreading having to write, if for no other reason than I know…read morethere's very little I can say that can do my time at this stunning bed and breakfast justice. Having been very lucky to stay in some pretty incredible places around the world, there's no question that The Old Parsonage easily ranks within my top five. I was stuck looking for a place to get away for a couple of days to myself during which I could do nothing but write, drink wine, relax, and write some more. (And drink more wine...obviously.) After a chance meeting with one of the two owners, an artist himself who takes pride in offering a unique space for creativity, I was sold on the Maitland Suite and booked myself in for a two night, three day stay. When I finished the hour-ish drive from the city, I was floored to realize that I had the entire building to myself - meaning that my plans of being a recluse in my room for three straight days instantly changed to cozying up in any of the six to eight different sitting rooms that were all at my disposal. The fact that I was able to feel as comfortable as I would at home, except with infinitely more beautiful surroundings and gorgeous wood-fire heat, was unbelievable. From room to room, it's plain to see that not a single detail has been overlooked. Each space is a meticulous collection of shabby-chic décor that's both luxurious and liveable - that is, it's not a place where you feel uncomfortable spending the entire day and night. I lounged around like I owned the place, stopping short of napping in the middle of the main living room although I can't imagine that having been a problem... You won't have to rush out in the mornings in search of provisions either. I would make my way downstairs at my leisure to find fresh orange juice, coffee, toast, and scrambled eggs ready for the feasting as I chatted with the owners about life in the UK, our favourite cities around the world, and the importance of getting away from it all from time to time. Truly, I could go on and on, but I won't. Instead, I'll just say that before even leaving the premises, I had already arranged two more plans to return with family, and am already looking forward to my next writing escape. I can't imagine spending them anywhere else.

The beds are fabulous, I slept like a baby. Every morning at 830 there is a full breakfast in the kitchen and sun porch. Tracy and Mark greet you with a smile and the most deliciousness! Her oat bran fruit muffin is to die for! During the whole meal they engage all of their guests in delightful conversation and make you feel right at home, in their personal home. The view of the cove is breathtaking and they are only minutes from the legendary Peggys Cove Lighthouse. We paid $200.00 Canadian per night for the cottage and when we converted it to American is was less than an average hotel here in the states. It was worth every penny and I personally plan to go back in the future.

Don't expect extraordinary - due to historic building no elevator (therefore if mobility is an issue make sure you request main floor location of your room). Breakfast room down steep set of stairs but I'm sure if requested they'd help accommodate. Overall - highly recommend and would be high on my list to return

We nearly didn't make it because we were in Kentville, but due to lack of accommodations (last minute, fully booked), I gave them a shout at 8pm and they had one room available. We drove over, and boy, am I ever glad we did! Let me just say - what an absolutely beautiful house. Gorgeous. A dream. One of the owners (Rick, I think) was there, he had waited for us to arrive since it was late. He didn't act rushed at all, gave us a tour & breakfast order to fill out - he was thorough and friendly. I love the breakfast idea - order what you want at what time & leave it on a desk in the front hall (the same desk that had cookies waiting for guests on it the next morning!) Our room (The Windsor Room) was actually the one I was the least interested in when I looked at pics online, but it proved my judgment wrong. Painted Yellow (with original hand painted & plasted stucco work), with hardwood floors, a big window with wooden shutters, and the most comfortable, plush bed I've ever slept on in my life; I fell in love immediately! The bathroom is built into what used to be a closet and it's very nice - heated, with a shower and natural bath & products. There were clean, plush white robes waiting for us as well. For breakfast, I assumed that it was one common room, but they put us in a private nook, in a separate dining room - so we got to enjoy our (absolutely delicious) breakfast overlooking the yard. It was the perfect way to start the morning. Being so accommodating, the owners encourage guests to hang out throughout the house, even after check-out time. There are games set up upstairs, a lovely sunroom with books, etc. We were also able to check out the other rooms once everyone had abandoned them. They were all fabulous! I think the Queen Victoria Suite is my favourite. One wacky little side note; I'm positive that this place is haunted. Not only because it is so old, but because, after I got home, I was looking at the photos of the Inn and there are very interesting coloured orbs in many of the photos - especially concentrated at the front of the house & outside. When you zoom in, they are all a strange shape & in motion. But, rest assured, I didn't feel any spooks or malicious intent. Quite the contrary, we felt relaxed, comfortable, and had wonderful sleeps! I highly recommend The Clockmaker's Inn, without hesitation. Honestly, one night was not nearly enough to take in this beautiful bed & breakfast that is ultra relaxing. Four thumbs (me & the mister's) way up!

The corner suite was about 600 square feet on the top floor with high vaulted ceilings, king bed, double jet tub, double shower, double vanities, wide screen TV, DVD, Wifi, love seat and kitchenette. The room was very quiet, it didn't share walls with any other rooms and we only heard our neighbors once in the hall. The owner meets you on arrival to show you around and you fill out a slip for your breakfast in the morning. Breakfast was awesome! The two dining rooms seat about ten and everything was from scratch plus hot coffee, tea, cereals and fruit. We'll be back! Draw backs: The website needs more photos to help you choose the right room and I tried to use the complimentary long distance on the guest phone but I got an error message. I suppose I could have gone next door to the owners' residence for help but I got over it.

The place had four customers. We sat down and the waitress came over and took our drink order which was a tequila cocktail and a Peroni, both on the menu but the waitress came back saying she had neither the Peroni nor Tequila. Advice 1, get some Tequila or you're not a real bar/restaurant. The menu is pretty pretentious. They charge 35 dollars for a 6oz rib steak... that's barely even a real steak. I stared at the menu for a long time and finally after reading it ten times we settled on the cheesy bread thing, and mussels to start, the spaghetti and single meatball a gin replacement to the tequila and a Keith's. The cheesy bread thing was covered in tomatoes and they leaked cold juice into the bread and made it a cold juicy wet diaper. The Mussels were like whoever made them didn't really give a damn. There is so much you can do with Mussels, do a yummy sauce with a nice splash of Tidal Bay. Not here. I've seen a lunch truck do a better plate of mussels. The spaghetti really stole the show though. They claim House Made Pasta and a fresh giant meatball, the only giant meatball was me for ordering this mess. The pasta I'm almost sure was over cooked catelli. The sauce was either from a jar or tasted exactly like it was. Finally, the showstopper was the meatball. Bland with zero taste and not a salt shaker in sight. Like a champ I tried, I really tried to eat this bowl of Italian tragedy but the meatball was also burnt solid like a round disc at the bottom. I put it in my mouth and as I spit it back out onto a plate I realized simultaneously that it was unseasoned, overcooked, burnt, frozen then thawed out and probably microwaved. I know this because it was a texture of used to be burnt but now it's just semi solid wet almost crunchy and tasted like cat food (don't ask how I know what cat food tastes like, or a wet cold diaper for that matter, it was a long time ago). As I said I spit what was left out. I looked over at my Fiancé and saw her having a similar experience. The server came back asking how everything was tasting and I told her I spit out the meatball pointing at the remainder on the plate. She just took it away. We finished up our drinks we didn't want and then asked for the check. It arrived with the spaghetti still on it of course, no sense comping it and salvaging a possible second visit or the full tip. I paid a 10% on it but I should have gone down to 5% or less, and then we got up out of there. My Fiancé mentioned we should have just gotten McDonalds fries instead of paying 80 dollars for this trip to yuck town. So if you read down this far, you are either a masochist who still plans on a first hand experience or you are the owner. If the former, just go somewhere else, if you are the latter you are going to just be in denial which is sad because Fall River could desperately use a good restaurant and we were both saddened that this one isn't going to be it. Advice 2 Put a burger on the menu, your pretentious levels are way too high, and back again to Advice 1 Stock your bar it doesn't really spoil easy.
