The House that Ships Built

In general: As a history teacher, I loved this Inn! The house has a fascinating history and is beautiful inside. Very Victorian, which is enhanced by the wonderful service, tea at four, gorgeous flowers on the grounds, and excellent cuisine. The room was comfortable, spacious and the whirlpool was a nice feature. Location and surroundings: Wolfville is a perfect size town, with a lovely university and near many historic sites such as Grand Pre. We visited 2 historic house museums, and drove out to Blue Beach the next morning. Service: We did not use room service, but the staff were delightful to chat with. Dining: We bought the Overnight Gourmet Getaway package. It was a five course meal, and was very good. Not overly rich with sauces, but lovely meat and vegetables, and dessert. I want to mention Colin, who introduced me to Hodge Podge, and some of the Nova Scotian dishes that I hope to try next time I visit. He was also very knowledgable about the house and took time to tell me some of its history. Breakfast was plentiful and again, service was very friendly and efficient. Sports and leisure: not applicable. Useful tips: Plenty of free parking and easy access. We stayed in Halifax our first night and had to pay exorbitant parking located on the premises.
