Gillespie House 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.

Such a beautiful property and a great location on downtown Parrsboro. My room was very comfortable, clean, and had many thoughtful touches. The breakfast was absolutely delicious with many local ingredients showcased. Look forward to visiting again with my husband so I can stay longer and take in more of the property.

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.

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.

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.

The Gillespie House Inn is absolutely beautiful, the rooms are spacious and the breakfasts are delectable! Lovely staff and on-site owners, all of whom are glad to give you info about the Parrsboro area. |Highly recommend this B&B - and also visits to the Dinosaur Museum and Ottawa House.

Highly recommend staying here! Absolutely beautifully maintained home and landscaping. Breakfast was incredibly delicious and left us craving seconds. Host and staff were also very friendly and accommodating. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

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!
