Marshlands Inn

Parking was good. Restaurant for breakfast was very nice, atmosphere was super-a bit slow for service, but food was simple and freshly made. Our room was very comfortable and clean.

This place is a jewel. Dating back to 1850. Period opulence. Rooms very individual. No pool or kids area but for people who want experience nostalgia. The queen mum along with queen Elisabeth ll. Have stayed here. Price was very very reasonable through Expedia.

Marshlands Inn, a beautifully restored mansion, is opulent and pet friendly. The location was awesome, walking distance to Sackville Fowl Reserve. I would stay there again! Thank you Jason for being “the host with the most”!

Reception was a bit weird. Facility is very cool. No breakfast before 8, so we didn’t get to participate

The building is not handicap accessible, but the young man who greeted us helped by carrying our bag upstairs.

Super Parkplatz. Wunderschöne Einrichtung; wie im Märchenschloss.

Check in should have been fine but he didn’t understand English well so after some confusion it was sorted out and they found our reservations. It is a quirky place. The first thing that hits you in the main house is the smell which is off putting. Luckily we were in the carriage house which was fine. We were disappointed that the dining room was closed for breakfast due to a bus tour arriving later the next day and they were not very encouraging about dinner which we were all looking forward to as the menu looks fantastic. They said they could make us dinner but would need to know ahead of time what we were having so the chef could fit it in while prepping for the next day. Didn’t make us feel eager to have a nice seafood meal while being squeaked in between prep! There’s no coffee or tea in the room so with no breakfast available I called to the front desk to ask if there was at least coffee in the lobby and again the response was sort of like “well if you let us know what time you want coffee I guess we could make you one”. Lovely property and places to sit on the ground. Just would have been better to feel welcomed instead of an inconvenience. Overall disappointed.

We were in town to tour Mount Allison and wanted to stay overnight. The Marshlands Inn provided a comfortable place to stay and enjoy the East Coast hospitality. The place is large century property with beautiful gardens, lots and lots of knick-knacks but the amenities were everything you'd expect and more.

This is an old inn, with its own quirks, but that is why you want to visit such a place. There is ample common area if you wish to get out of your room. The grounds are large and intriguing. It is close to a marsh area with raised walkways. Birders delight. The owners were a pleasure One thing that stood out as exceptional was dinner. The owner cooked a marvellous meal, in the most elegant setting. If nothing else, go there for the meal. Better still book a couple of nights, walk around the town, or make it a base for local sightseeing. And book dinner.

Lovely historic property, close to lovely conservation area for walking. Beautiful dining room, well maintained. Helpful friendly staff. Eclectic collection of artifacts. External building and grounds could use some work.

Parking was good. Restaurant for breakfast was very nice, atmosphere was super-a bit slow for service, but food was simple and freshly made. Our room was very comfortable and clean.

There was a spider eating a fly from a cobweb in the corner of the ceiling above our bed and and another dusty web hanging from the ceiling directly above one pillow. There was urine and some toilet paper in the toilet bowl in our bathroom when we arrived. We waited over 50 minutes after placing our order for the "grab and go" breakfast special (two eggs,bacon and toast) and had to leave without being served in order to accommodate our travel schedule. There were only three other tables occupied when we arrived in the dining room and two of those tables were already served their food. Other patrons arrived and were seated and served their food while we were still waiting. The waiter apologized and said he understood our frustration completely. The owner was doing the cooking. I would never recommend this place to anybody.

Pros: Location. Large clawfoot tub. Cons: Bed was very uncomfortable. Cleanliness of bed covers and carpets was poor. Bathroom smelt strongly of urine. Outside of building is crumbling.

Really nice old inn with a lot of character and a beautiful garden. The room was clean and confortable and the service was very friendly. We also had a great breakfast before leaving. A1 overall experience, merci beaucoup !

All of the above . Sense of graciousness. Warm welcome at reception. In our room, lovely sheets , comfortable bed . Well appointed bathroom , but problem with bathtub drain, which we noted to the cleaner on our leaving. Delicious breakfast in the morning . Dining room festive and inviting, with all tables covered in white tablecloths and bright red linen napkins at each place. Elaborately decorated for the Christmas season. Generally there was too much stuff ! Antique dolls , stuffed animals, cloth curtains, etc.All attracting dust. We shall return - maybe after spring clearing .

It’s close to downtown Sackville and the Mount Allison campus, so the location is perfect and really lovely. Staff were nice, though spread pretty thin. Not sure who did the cooking in the dining room. If you love antiques and a truly historic atmosphere, you’ll enjoy it here. Just note: there are quite a few decorative dolls around, so if that gives you nightmares, keep it in mind! For the price point, some updates would make a big difference: • Address what appears to be roof leaks and any mold remediation (smells bad and other reviewers commented on asthma flare-ups). • Replace old, separate hot/cold taps with modern, functional faucets and showers (who takes baths anymore?!?). • Add a simple coffee station for guests preferably in rooms - make space by tossing out all the knick knacks. • Remove fragile décor, old smelly books, dust collectors, and especially the DOLLS. • Swap out heavy, dusty coverlets and shams for washable duvet covers. • Deep clean thoroughly and update window coverings. • Gut and refresh bathrooms while keeping the historic charm. The antique furniture is beautiful and worth saving, but most of the soft furnishings and extras need to go—or be burned. Beds are pretty comfy though! In its current state, I would not stay here again if there are options between Moncton and Amherst.

Nice hotel, quite dated but was very clean. Great dinner in the restaurant. Room was small, a bit cramped, with minimal extras. No coffee maker in the room and dolls all over the place, kinda creepy. Cleaning staff was exceptional, very accommodating.

After a long day on the road, we arrived to find the dining room closed. We were informed that it would be closed the next morning due to a community event. We asked if there was water or coffee available and were told no. We rented two rooms. One room found found an 'unmentionable item' under the bed. Another room had twin beds with absolutely flat pillows. One bed had the head board slanted down so I had to sleep with my head at the foot of the bed. The clawfoot bathtub had peeling paint on the bottom so we had to watch our footing to not get slivers. The property setting was very peaceful with gardens. The house is is very full of antiques and history.

Shame on Hotels for advertising this as 11.67 miles from Hopewell Rocks. It takes over an hour to get there. Aside from that, the Inn was obviously beautiful in its day but Room 5 in the Carriage House was unclean, unpleasant and dangerous with cords trailing into the room. There is a wooden tray under the bathroom mirror that has toothpaste and other stains, a rusted heater near the tub where water pools, chipping plaster on the bathroom ceiling, loose wooden flooring at the entrance to the bathroom and dust webs hanging inside the valances over the bed. If we had more time, I would have asked for a room change. I saw no pool so would question that. The gardens, like the Inn, must have been nice in their day. When we asked if dinner was served, the owner stated, not tonight, maybe tomorrow. There is no breakfast served. Although I'm sure he's a nice person, the owner made a comment to us about feeling like the inn is running them. The whole experience made me feel very sad. There is not 24 hour desk coverage. You must ring a bell and wait. After reading other reviews about waiting, I left the key on the desk on the way out and hoped for the best. Perhaps staying in the main house is better. I should have brought these items to the owner's attention but the owner also should not place people in a room in this condition. I was tempted to not review this at all but I don't want others to be disappointed. Next time, I'll pay more attention to the reviews.

We had to leave because of odour and it was filthy. Cobwebs across curtains. Curtains didn’t close Very bad. List 157 dollars because it triggered my asthma

The place is lovely. The room we got is not as registered. Bathroom and shower are part of the bedroom. Aircondition was so laud that we had to turn it off

Older Inn with a lot of history and character. Just a couple minute walk from downtown bars and restaurants. The inn may not have all the modern conveniences, but has plenty of history, character and antiques. Every room feels like a a museum display. Quite the experience.

It’s a beautiful old house that is gorgeous inside. If you stay keep in mind the wifi comes and goes (not helpful when trying to plan trips during relax time). Take ear plugs because this is an old house you hear everything. If you eat there, give yourself lots of time. Dinner will take over an hour and breakfast could take just as long.

When checking in I found out that the bathroom was across the hall. which wasn't mentioned when I was booking through the website. The lady was extremely rude during the check-in. The bed was too high, with a stool to help people get in/out of bed. The room was cold with no temperature controls in the room.

Room was perfect, bed is so comfortable. Very homey feeling and very quiet. Had my own private bathroom across the hall which I didn't mind as I have no one staying on my floor. Second time staying here and this time in the main house which is stunning. Fast and easy check in which is nice. And staff very friendly. Highly recommed staying here.

Well appointed rooms, with a Downton Abbey theme and sense of history

Stayed here one night while in town for the university. Walking distance to everything. Room was clean. Bed comfortable. Only issues was really hot at night. I get it. Old house. Shower was a bit awkward. I’m a bigger guy. It was quiet. Clean. Good price. I agree with some people it’s a bit dated for decor with all the stuff but also feels like you’ve stepped back in time. Would stay again.

Nice hotel, quite dated but was very clean. Great dinner in the restaurant. Room was small, a bit cramped, with minimal extras. No coffee maker in the room and dolls all over the place, kinda creepy. Cleaning staff was exceptional, very accommodating.

First of all its summer time and the AC was not working in the room it was getting tripped again and again after every 2 minutes. Bed was quite old i guess bcoz of which there was a lot of creaking sounds. No Tv in the room No microwave in the room Bathtub was so small that a person could hardly stand in that to bath Very congusted parking space as compared to number of rooms they are renting. Overall not at all a good experience.

Nice room, clean and classy. Loud at night though, noises from the street and from within.

Great Inn, friendly service and made great effort to accommodate my wife’s dietary restrictions. Great food👍

Third time staying here… and still, the service is none. The older man at the front has zero service skills or customer service etiquette. He leaves u to fend for yourself. No direction or information about the hotel, the restaurant or the town. He’s like a one man show trying to do it all, leaving you standing there ignored a lot of the time. The restaurant can’t even be found online… so not sure if I should eat here.??? And they don’t sell it or suggest it! It’s Always empty. This place could be so much more… so much potential. Too bad, but it’s the only place in town. Decent prices though.

Parking was good. Restaurant for breakfast was very nice, atmosphere was super-a bit slow for service, but food was simple and freshly made. Our room was very comfortable and clean.

The Inn has been kept as the original structure but so beautifully decorated and felt very homey. My suitcase was carried upstairs for me and they even offered me a bowl of seafood chowder and dinner roll when the kitchen was closed. Very cozy Inn and amazing staff! I will definitely recommend this Inn!

Nobody was at the counter when we tried to register. Then the owners were away so the dining room would not be open. The room was nice. Breakfast at 8? Nobody was there then the young man that checked us all in said he could not see the owners car so not sure what was going on. Breakfast did happen at a very slow and disorganized pace. Food was ok but the french toast was very dry.

Stayed at the Marshlands for nostalgia’s sake. Very old inn but such character!! The staff especially Gail was a treasure. Sooo helpful and helpful. We were in Sackville for our 50th Mt.Allison Alumni reunion and staying at the Marshlands was the icing on the cake.

Fabulous place to stay. Everyone is so helpful and the place is so well run. So quaint and peaceful and lovely garden with ample parking. So accessable to Mt Allison university. Really pleased with the overall experience and how accommodating they were.

I have been staying at the Marshlands Inn from time to time since 1982. Have always liked it and was glad to stay this time. However, this time they were so short-staffed that it was embarassing. Long waits to be served in the dining room, which was basically empty. Very long wait to check out in the morning. One man, no matter how hard he worked, could not keep up. This in a summer when Canadian students are having a tough time finding summer jobs. Why? The drain in the sink in our room needs a shot of Drano. In general a bit of painting would not hurt. I hope they can work on these items because, basically, I like the Marshlands Inn and want it to live on as a pleasant place to stop for a night or two.

We had booked a two-bed room for Sunday, July 9. When we arrived, we were told we’d been booked with a single queen bed. When I said that was not right, we were offered a room with a queen bed and a single bed on the third floor. There was no offer to carry any bags up. When I said we were looking forward to trying the restaurant, there was no response - so I asked if it was open that evening, and got the response “yeah, probably. I dunno. I’d have to ask the chef.” Wow, they clearly did not care. After lugging the bags up, we found a room with an standing air conditioner with a cracked plastic pipe. It was pumping out, but with the cracked pipe the room was still hot. The single bed was under an overhang, and our feet would stick out. The toilet was weirdly low, and the soap side dish looked like it hadn’t been cleaned since the 19th century. We left to explore the Bay of Fundy, and when we came back, despite leaving the air con on the lowest setting, it was a sauna - well over 35 degrees. The restaurant was, indeed, not open that night. We checked out and went to Moncton instead. As we honour our agreements, we did pay for the night. The on duty manager did offer us a different room in the 2nd floor, but at that point, the whole experience left a bad taste in our mouths, and we just left We did not feel welcomed at all.

Nice property, great location.

Very unique property. Full of antiques and old world charm. Excellent walkable area. Very close to My Allison University.

Staying here was a treat to experience the splendour of a historic luxury inn conveniently located in downtown area.Unique rooms decorated with lovely antiques throughout the home. Breakfast is extra but in a beautiful dining room.

This is an older Inn. It is very unique. Set in a residential area. We enjoyed it's charm. The staff were excellent and the room was comfy. The small town is 2 blocks away and is great for shopping and eating.

Parking was good. Restaurant for breakfast was very nice, atmosphere was super-a bit slow for service, but food was simple and freshly made. Our room was very comfortable and clean.

This place was amazing!!! Beautiful house, loved the decor. Room wasn't huge,but the bed was comfy. Shower was cramped and hard to use. Dinner was superb. Excellent use of spices and herbs. Generous portions with lots of vegetables. All cooked very well. So was breakfast. Also well done. Tables had linens and proper fancy cutlery and dishes. Very elegant!!

We had a lovely dinner in the Inns Dining Room and the food was delicious!! Breakfast was the same! Our room was quiet and very relaxing

The owner and staff were warm and friendly, the inn charming and the meals superlative, with seafood crepes stuffed with mussels, scallops and shrimps in a creamy sauce and a breakfast of freshly prepared fruit and homemade bread and homemade jam.

Cannot give a complete rating due to circumstances involving the owners. Staff were very helpful, sadly, dining facilities were not available at the time. Marshlands has a great reputation, given the circumstances, they did their best to accommodate
