Harbourview Motel and Accommodations

Inn

Very beautiful location — breakfast is served in a bright window-filled dining area with a panoramic view of the Canso Straight. The breakfast was tremendous — I dont think you could find a better breakfast in town. Huge selling point for me: the coffee is made with a high end espresso machine. The motel rooms are decent — a bit small but quiet and fairly comfortable. Internet was iffy but was a known issue that was being resolved. BONUS POINT: there's a very friendly cat who wanders over from the neighbours neighbour's house to greet you which was welcomed by us who were missing our cats.

Lovely old house, beautifully appointed. Service was generous and friendly. Complimentary breakfast was much nicer than expected — everyone was provided their favourite foods, all organic and excellent coffee. Thank you Emmanuel. We highly recommend your cozy establishment.

In search of a stay for a night in Port Hawkesbury, we decided in this B&B. We were told to come after 6 or 7pm as the hosts were going to arrive from out of town. Upon entering the door my heart must have sank looking at the old house. I though this is going to be a long night. The welcome was warm and friendly and John was funny. Which was a relief. He showed us the bedroom which seemed older. But as we settled we came to grips that this must be a century home. The hardwood floors, the ceiling, the crown moulding, the railings outside, the bathroom. It can be a museum. The bed was OK, but the room had character. Overlooking the river and some side small rooms also rented by the same folks. Please refer to the pictures to believe it. The living room (parlour then) was amazing. They have pictures of the original owners. The house built more than 130 years ago! We also told the host that we were vegetarian no eggs and a vegan. The host still made amazing breakfast for us. Blueberry Scones or biscuits were the best I have ever had. I could just pay them to eat those biscuits. Again the hosts were amazing. Newfoundlanders in Nova Scotia exceptional hospitality.

Fantastic hosts, very clean and well kept rooms, yummy breakfast. Jon and Sharon did everything they could to make us feel at home, even gave us wrapping paper because we forgot to buy our own for a wedding gift! Seriously recommend this place.
