吉萊斯皮之家飯店

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.

The Gillespie House Inn is an 1890 Queen Anne Revival farmhouse. I had the Huntley room, named for the merchant/shipbuilder who built the house., and it's beautiful -- olive green with a queen mahogany sleigh bed, a marble fireplace, an antique desk and dresser, a nice bathroom, a double window facing the front lawn, and several framed prints of old sailing ships. The rest of the house is also beautiful, with a few sitting rooms for guests that include a library. The breakfast area is is very attractive. There's original contemporary and classic art throughout the house. The front porch and backyard were great to relax in and enjoy the peace and quiet. There's even a small church adjacent to the back of the property. Lori and David were friendly and gracious hosts and the dog 'greeters' Abby and Piper were wonderful. Breakfast was great, with a lot of the items homemade by David (granola, bread, jams). It's only a few minutes' walk to town, and it's close to so many activities. I'd definitely stay here again if I'm in the vicinity.
