Unforgettable!
Homemade frittata, bread, fruit cup and jams for breakfast prepared by Denise was accompanied by a very informative storytelling of the local history AND a quick little fiddle piece by Alain. Thank you both for a lovely stay.

The hosts were fabulous! They were extremely knowledgeable about all facets of Cape Breton and Halifax, both historic and current. The food was delicious. It was skillfully prepared and fresh, even the bread was home made. I would recommend this B and B without hesitation.
