Old World charm with New World amenities

The inn was an old traditional inn but with all of the modern amenities that you need to be comfortable. The WiFi and televisions worked great. The shower had plenty of hot water and everything was super clean. We had to leave very early and we were going to miss breakfast. The owner left bag breakfasts in the fridge so we could take them with us. The inn was a short walk to a beautiful cove and we got to observe a Bay of Fundy low tide. Overall a great experience.

Liked: Cleanliness
We were disappointed and surprised when we approached the front door. It looks like it needed a fair amount of maintenance. The main entrance to our unit required a stairway but it was in very bad shape . The portable a/c did not have a remote and I had to contact the owner to come and make an adjustment on it. During the rest of the evening it was difficult using it because it did not work correctly. The owner was unable to even provide us with enough ice for both of us to make a drink. Finally this place is called Harborview and to the best of my knowledge there is no harbour view available anywhere around the property. We were very disappointed especially based on the price

Very nice inn, although in need of some renovations (holes in screens, plants taking over outside side stairs, baseboards could use some refreshing paint). The staff is extremely friendly; breakfast is delicious; bedroom (#7) was roomy with nice accomodations
