The toilet doesn't flush properly. We didn't have a light for the room, it only had lamps. We paid for a deluxe room with zero amenities. This was absolutely not ideal for the price point. The only semi- positive thing I can say about this hotel is the pool was upkept really well despite it having the appearance of being slightly outdated. Sometimes that is a refresher.

The staff are friendly. The rooms are clean and have nice view and if you're lucky enough you'll get a room with the ocean view. One of the plus points of my room was not being connected to the adjacent room. The hotel is rather quiet and the bar and restaurant in the lobby have a vibrant and lively vibe.

Pretty overpriced for a place that used to be top notch. Had a friend tell me it had gotten bad and it's true. The owner is a piece of work when he gets a complaint through his manager. Confrontational does not begin to explain his inhospitable language and behaviour. I wonder if he's trying to run the place into the ground based on the condition and his reaction to criticism? Would have left but he would not issue a refund. Won't be back and won't recommend to anyone.

When travelling in Nova Scotia last year, I was surprised to find that the cabins where my parents…read morevacationed when I was little were still there. We made reservations to stay at this lodge this year. While the cabins are clean, they are old and in need of minor repairs. Cabins have a full kitchen, bedrooms, living room. There is a pool and barbecues for the guests to use. You can fish in the river, and you are only about 10 km from Clam Harbour Beach. The dining room is open only to guests. Simple menu, but the service is very laid back and slow. The biggest problem we had, other than rain, there is no internet connection in the cabins.

All this after having to listen to a staff member being rude to a fellow worker. When we were leaving the response was that the cleaner went home early! One staff member followed us out to apologize not like the colleague who was rudely yammering to her colleague. We followed up with a call and email and received a sorry. That too is not appropriate. A refund or something to try to make up for the disgusting state of the non sanitary change room would be an attempt to make things right. Sad situation caution on the change room conditions and less than satisfactory excuses.

This place is magical. Truly…read more We were in Nova Scotia for our honeymoon trip and had only planned the first couple of days and the last couple as well - leaving a bit of room in the middle for spontaneity. An internet search brought us to Oceanstone, which seemed like the perfect place to stay as we also wanted to check out Peggy's Cove too. We were lucky enough to secure one night and totally fell in love with the resort, pretty much at first sight. We had put in our booking comments that we were on our honeymoon, hoping we might get a really nice room. We were so pleasantly surprised to walk up to the kitchen in our super cute private cottage and find a lovely bottle of wine along with handmade, outrageously delicious sea salt caramels and a hand written note. To the resort, perhaps a small gesture but to us, it really make our stay that much more special. We really enjoyed our night's stay in our private cottage, which was just set behind the main lodge. The cottage was quaint, clean, and well appointed. We loved our small balcony just outside the living room area, we enjoyed our coffees out there in the morning. The bed was also super comfy too, like a cloud. We loved it there so much we inquired about staying a second night however sadly the resort happened to be fully booked for a wedding party the days immediately following our stay. We ended up eating at the restaurant on their property, Rhubarb, three times in just 2 days - it was so good. We enjoyed an early dinner when we first arrived, then ordered pizza as a "later" night snack then ordered take out the next day for dinner from the next cottage resort we ended up staying at just down the road. We also took a couple of lovely, calm walks along the ocean front during our stay which was so nice. The property is stunning and it feels like you are in another part of the world completely. Looking forward to someday returning again!

Bathroom was pretty large as well. King bed was comfortable. My only gripe was our bathroom. I really didn't like a glass door on the toilet room. In addition there was a glass door on the shower as well. The problem is that they have two huge windows directly opposite the toilet and the shower. So we pretty much had to keep the shades closed most of the time. We used the pool, sauna, and steam room which were really nice after a full day of touring. We did not eat there but ordered coffee from room service in the morning. Service was fast and friendly.

We had a big table by the fireplace which was a perfect post-surf place to be. The patio looked great as it's right by a stunning rock face but it was raining outside.

The fettuccini was a tad overcooked but the sauce was tasty. Thank you for a wonderful meal and we hope to visit again next time we are in the area.

Nova Scotia is getting hit by a hurricane and they refuse to accept a late cancellation considering…read morethe hurricane warning was announced after the cancellation period ended. They are located directly on the ocean, and will likely have heavy wind, rain AND the risk of severe oceans swells yet they put their income above the safety of their customers while all of our other reservations for the weekend have cancelled on us and offered refunds or credit. UPDATE: Despite numerous attempts on my part and that of expedia's to get in contact with the manager they ignored all attempts, failed to get back to anyone, and they've billed me a full day early instead of compromising in any way (even to give a credit for a future stay or change payment method to an insured card) when their motel is about to get HIT BY A HURRICANE. Avoid these people. They shouldn't be in business.

Part of our package included $100 to spend at their restaurant. We went down to the dining room and I was told to remove my cap. So, embarrassed and annoyed, I went all the way back to my room to comb my hair, but I did not change out of my PacMan T-shirt and blue jeans. Am I fancy enough yet for your establishment? Apparently yes. I don't know who I was adjusting my clothing for though. The place was empty except 1 other couple. The dining room was fine. A bit stuffy maybe. The food was overpriced and mediocre. My wife and I both ordered pasta dishes with shrimp. It came with only 3 medium shrimp! These aren't cheap dishes....And the sauce was bland. Service was alright, though it took a long time to figure out how to handle the $100 gift certificate. I was happy to leave. We won't be heading back there for brunch in the morning. I can't see us coming back, either, for a future stay.
