Gillespie House Inn

What a lovely place! It’s been a highlight of our trip. The staff and owners were all warm and welcoming. The room was comfortable and clean. There is a lovely big veranda to just relax and unwind. The breakfast food was homemade and so yummy! We would highly recommend!

This Inn is a great home base to explore the coast. We stayed here for two nights on our trip to NS. Lisa, one of the owners, met us upon arrival. She was very welcoming. We chose Room #1. It was better than the web site portrayed. Very clean and bright, lots of pillows. The room was very quiet in spite of it being an old house. There are many areas to relax around the property. Breakfasts were delicious. If you have mobility issues or lots of luggage, I would not suggest a room on the second floor. Highly recommend.

Simply one of the most memorable stays of our vacation across Europe the maritimes, and one of the most charming Inn we’ve ever stayed in. The owners, and staff are incredible in their welcome and attention. The breakfast is all home prepared, and scrumptious. And the rooms, as well as all the facilities of the Inn are luxurious. To top it off, the price is jaw dropping (in its affordability).

We really enjoyed our two nights at Gillespie House Inn. We were here pre-pandemic and it was wonderful then. The new owners, Lisa and Troy, (as of Jan 2024) have added a number of improvements that make it even better. |They've added a beverage area on the upstairs landing, in case you want coffee or tea before or after breakfast service. Speaking of breakfast, we love the menu; starter choices of cranberry & white chocolate scone or blueberry muffin, and mains of waffles, full bacon and egg breakfast, crustless quiche, in-house-made granola, and I think something else, I don't recall. I had the bacon and eggs one day and the crustless quiche the other, all perfect. |The interior of the inn has been repainted in cheerful and calming Sea Salt colour. There are three indoor sitting rooms, a sunroom, and the big veranda to enjoy, as well as the outdoor garden space. |Lisa and Troy are so pleasant and attentive; they truly made us feel welcome.

Absolutely beautiful property. Yard and gardens are meticulously maintained. Owners are very nice and familiar with everything there is to do in the area. They helped us out tremendously with directions and recommendations for local eateries/breweries. Would definitely stay here again. Rooms were exceptionally clean and staff very welcoming.

Had a fabulous stay. The attention to detail and decor are wonderful. The room was beautiful from all aspects. The grounds the gardens, all lovely.|The owners and staff were very welcoming and friendly to us and our dog. |Highly recommend this beautiful Inn.

We loved our 9 day road trip around Nova Scotia. I told our hosts, just after gushing over our delicious breakfast, that I'd give 10 stars if I could. They were very happy to hear that but shouldn't be surprised as their efforts are first rate. What a beautiful Inn, inside and out. The grounds are gorgeous and the amenities are top notch. I cannot compliment them enough.

We were SO happy that we booked the Gillespie House Inn! We recently did a two week tour of the maritimes and I can honestly say I wish I'd booked more time here. The room was impeccable, comfortable- and so charming. Our breakfast was fantastic and prepared onsite especially for us by a local chef. This level of curated quality guest service was unexpected and we loved it!
