We spent one night here in September, just after the Labor Day weekend. It is just down the road from the port town of Digby, the scallop capital of Canada and had some great seafood right on the wharf. The hotel is large and offers rooms in the main building as well as cabins. There is a heated outdoor pool and a fitness center with a small sauna. Our room was small, as rooms were back in the day. There was just enough room for the king-sized bed and a couple of chairs with not a lot of wiggle room. Though handicap accessible, be aware that some of the rooms require the use of stairs as ours did. The restaurant seemed to offer a nice brunch, but because it ended at 10am, which is too early for a vacation spot in my oppinion, we opted to eat in town, which is where we took all of our meals. However, the hotel does offer fine-dining for dinner. We checked out the walking trail that goes all around the hotel grounds, which are expansive. All in all a nice place to stay and would recommend it of you are travelling in the area.

We settled on the Admiral Digby Inn, also, because it seemed pretty central. For a random, pretty uniformed choice, we really hit the jackpot. We rented the 2 bedroom cottage and it could not have been more perfect. We were on the motel property but off in the corner, so it felt incredibly private. We had all the amenities of the motel-including the indoor heated pool and the AMAZING restaurant- but we had our own kitchen, living room and 2 private decks. One with ocean views and a hammock that I miss! I had the best haddock I've ever had at the restaurant. Breakfast was yummy too. If I have to pick a negative, it would be that there were no televisions in the bedrooms. But that's not really a negative, because we didn't travel all the way to Nova Scotia to watch TV. The pool was a little dated, but my son, the little fish, didn't care. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. The front desk clerk offered us great advice on what to see and do, and even offered to book us a whale watch. They even had discount tickets to Upper Clements amusement park. I cannot recommend the Admiral Digby Inn highly enough. We're hoping to visit next year!

Our room, the maroon room, was decorated in Victorian style that some would call dated, but fits with the rest of the house. The hosts, Maria and Bob, are very pleasant and will chat with you as much, or as little as you want. The maroon room is very spacious and has a wonderful view of the basin and the property's gardens. It also had cable TV and free wifi. Bob is a retired executive chef and it shows in the quality of the complimentary breakfast. The cranberry scones were wonderful, especially with some of the lemon curd. Strawberry muffins were next and they were fantastic. Better still was the absolutely flawless egg Benedict. This was one of the best I've ever had. $95 taxes in for all this, who could ask for more?

We didn't, but there was one going on when we got there. Innkeepers Val Peterson & Paul Stackhouse made us feel like family...and eavesdropping on the conversation with the bride and groom, I know they felt special too. Each room is beautifully decorated with antiques and every morning you are greeted to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and muffins and scones baking in the oven to go along with a full breakfast served in the very formal dining room. The room may be formal, but the atmosphere is very relaxed. I really can't wait to go back! One word AWESOME or maybe EXTRAORDINARY. Just remember they are open from April 1-November 30. Even they need a break sometime.

This house is definitely more an "inn" and less a "B&B" due to its size, but all the same, it was a…read morewonderful stay, and the breakfast was great. The house is like a comfortable museum - beautifully decorated with antique items, but you don't feel like you're in a "no touch" zone. The hostess was super friendly and extremely accommodating, especially when we told her we would miss breakfast because we had to leave a little early to go whale watching. She and her staff started breakfast early and still fed us a full feast! It's centrally located, an easy walk to the center of Annapolis Royal but still a bit quiet and tucked away. We stayed in Room 2, which has a wonderful bed (comfy and quiet) and a large free-standing tub perfect for soaking in. The only complaint is that we're a bit sensitive to noise on a road, and this room is at the front of the house, so you can hear the cars moving along. However, the house is set back from the road, so it's not a considerable annoyance, and there is not much that the Inn can do about that. As it is, they do have an AC unit in the room, so it's easy to keep windows closed. Room 2 has a great free standing bathtub and a comfy and quiet bed. You don't share a wall with any other guests since the bathroom separates your bedroom from other guests, so it's very private.

All but a few major roads are unpaved, and if you ask a local there what a traffic jam is, they may just say "I don't know." Our headquarters for our stay in western NS was the Mountain Gap Inn. A collection of little cabins across the Annapolis basin from the little town of Digby (the scallop capital of the world, evidently,) the Inn was a great place to call home for a few days. The cabin we rented was well-kept. Nothing was broken, everything was very clean, and there were all the appliances we could have ever wanted. We had a little porch out front, which offered an absolutely stunning view of the Annapolis basin. It was the kind of view you'd want to turn into a painting and hang on your wall. Beautiful. I will one day return to Nova Scotia, and if I come back to the western side, I'll probably stay here again.
