"This is a pretty solid choice for affordable summer travel accommodations with one big issue.
It's a standard single dorm room with a bed, desk and wardrobe. There's a shared bathroom - two of them - and we were there with very few other people so there was no issue with waiting. There is a kitchenette with a fridge/freezer which we used to freshen up our cooler ice packs.
What's the issue? There's no air conditioning and no fans. And when we were there Nova Scotia was in the grips of a heat wave. We went out and bought a fan from a local hardware store so we could sleep. The good news is we were there only one night and we are now up one portable fan.
That said, parking was right by the building and the downtown strip was within walking distance (5-10 min). It's a great option, but book when the temperature isn't in the 30s, bring your own fan or prepare to sweat."
"Outstanding. Grand Pré Winery has mastered the impressive balance of being a top notch, well established, high end winery while still maintaining the ambiance, humbleness, pride and a genuine personal touch of a what can see is a quiet & real deal true family run passion. By staying in the Inn, we felt welcomed into the winery famiy for the time we were there. The old farm house has been so elegantly renovated to warm and comfotable living spaces while keeping that feeling of a good old fashion farm house. Of special not, Amanda, who provided our tour and tasting was incredibly delightful and so knowledgeable who showed such passion and pride at being part of the Grand Pré team. For that matter all staff were freindly, welcoming and just there at the right times making sure our stay or visits on the winery grounds were absolutely perfect. We met a quiet lovely lady working dilligently in the gardens as early as 7am every morning like clockwork and spent the morning tending to the gardens making sure theywere just right. When complementing this soft spoken woman on her hard work and beautiful gardens, we learned that she was in fact the wife of husband/wife team owners. So imlressive. The depth and breath of this well established winery offers an incredible range of exquisite wines whether it be of the White, Red, Rosé sparkling, ice wine and even some Cider surprises that you wont want to miss. A definie must do when visiting the Anapolis valley NS."
"We stayed in a very nice location during our one day visit to Parrsboro enroute back to Halifax. The stay was nice but the hosts were even nicer! Super friendly folks. Great breakfasts. Love the homemade cinnamon buns! We would stay again and will tell our friends about it also!
Thanks for your hospitality. "
