What guests think
At Amherst Shore Country Inn, travellers consistently praise the peaceful oceanfront setting with manicured grounds and easy beach access, along with warm, hands-on hospitality from the owners and staff, and memorable breakfasts and dinners served on select nights.
The inn is remote, and when dinner is not offered some weekdays, guests often drive 20 to 30 minutes for restaurants and shops. Rooms and chalets are generally comfortable, some with kitchenettes, fireplaces, AC, and patios, though a few guests found furnishings dated, missed blackout curtains, or noticed noisy bathroom fans. Cleanliness is frequently praised, especially modern, well kept bathrooms and tidy accommodations. Expect a low-key, restorative stay.

Easy walk to the beach. Marvin (welcome committee cat) comfortable rooms with AC, fridge, comfy bed, nice clean rooms and showers, gardens to explore, outside seating with propane fire table. And the food is Gourmet delicious! The Chefs should have a Michelin star. The scallops and vegetables, scones/bread, lemon meringue pie - the best we’ve ever had! We highly recommend!

This was an unexpected find close to pugwash which we needed. When we arrived , the owner was expecting us , showed us right to our room. What was unexpected was the property itself. Absolutely beautiful gardens with a walking trail , lovey pond , private beach. After our li g drive we lived walking down to the water in the beautiful setting. Would stay again for sure

We stayed our last night in Nova Scotia at the Amherst Shore Country Inn. It’s family owned and had a nice welcoming feel to it. Mary was so helpful and nice. The room was very nice and comfortable, the property is beautiful, right on the water, and the main part of the inn is cozy. It was a little rainy but we put on our rain gear and explored the grounds. Not only are the grounds beautiful but there are places to sit, to play games, and just relax. Our entire experience was delightful!

I can't recommend enough the Amherst Shore Country Inn. The location is slightly off the beaten track but the coastline and surroundings are gorgeous and the property is lovely, making it well worth the effort to get there. The unit I stayed in was perfect for one or two people looking for a special getaway and the direct access to the beach was a huge bonus:))))

Innkeepers were friendly and helpful. We had a chalet which included a sitting area (with sofa, arm chair and gas fireplace) and kitchenette. The sleeping area was furnished with a four-poster bed and jacuzzi. Bathroom was modern, pristinely clean. Breakfast was available at an extra charge that was well worth it. Only downside was the fact that dinner is only served 4 days a week. That said, the innkeepers mage helpful recommendations for nearby places. I definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.

Beautiful and rather secluded location. Sadly they do not serve dinner except Thursday-Sunday, this means you need to drive 20-30 minutes for dinner on M/Tu/W. The breakfast was very good , but limited selection. The furniture in the chalets were old and cushions were uncomfortable.

On ne peut pas tout avoir, Petit coin de nature avec un tres belle vue, par contre le logement est un peu désuet et ne correspond pas aux normes de confort actuelles. La vmc de la salle de bain fait un bruit épouvantable, une baignoire balnéo a été plantée devant le lit entre la chambre et le salon… L’accueil est mitigé, pas vraiment aimable ni vraiment désagréable. Très cher pour la prestation, ça ne vaut que la moitié à mon avis.

What a delightful stay! This 3rd generation family inn is located on the beautiful, quiet Northumberland Strait of Nova Scotia. The water is warmer there, the sand is solid and safe for wading or swimming. We stayed in a cabin with a kitchenette, expecting to make our own breakfasts. But after having breakfast there the first morning, we enjoyed it so much we decided to buy their delicious, homemade breakfasts every morning of our stay in their beautifully appointed dining room. We were there one evening when they served dinner and it was equally as delicious and lovely. If you are looking for a quiet, private spot with the option of either cook your own meals or enjoy their cooking, consider this place.

A stunning “find.” Beautifully designed and meticulously cared for. Our highest recommendation. The strolls down to the water, through the meadow were enchanting, calming and easy.

Maison éloignée de tout ! 30 minutes minimum pour avoir des commerces. Pas de restauration sur place le soir où nous sommes arrivés. Pas de rideaux occultants dans la chambre, si vous n'avez pas de caches yeux, vous serez réveillés aux aurores.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour dans cette belle auberge. L’environnement est splendide et l’accueil chaleureux. Nous avons pu savourer un délicieux diner et prendre un petit dejeuner tout aussi savoureux. Le prix de la chambre est peut etre un peu cher, mais nous y reviendrons avec plaisir

Easy walk to the beach. Marvin (welcome committee cat) comfortable rooms with AC, fridge, comfy bed, nice clean rooms and showers, gardens to explore, outside seating with propane fire table. And the food is Gourmet delicious! The Chefs should have a Michelin star. The scallops and vegetables, scones/bread, lemon meringue pie - the best we’ve ever had! We highly recommend!

This was a gem ! Mary was absolutely wonderful and made us feel right at home . We had dinner that was delicious . It was a three course , homemade meal with homemade bread and dessert . The breakfast was divine with homemade scones and blueberry pancakes and eggs . The rooms were clean and quant . We were able to walk down to the beach and enjoy the ocean . They even had a little gazebo and private beach . Very charming and lovely .

Innkeepers were friendly and helpful. We had a chalet which included a sitting area (with sofa, arm chair and gas fireplace) and kitchenette. The sleeping area was furnished with a four-poster bed and jacuzzi. Bathroom was modern, pristinely clean. Breakfast was available at an extra charge that was well worth it. Only downside was the fact that dinner is only served 4 days a week. That said, the innkeepers mage helpful recommendations for nearby places. I definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.

This felt like a hidden gem. Peaceful and beautifully manicured property on the Ocean with many spots to sit comfortably and enjoy the view and serenity. Dined at the property and the meals were 5 star as well.

Beautiful and rather secluded location. Sadly they do not serve dinner except Thursday-Sunday, this means you need to drive 20-30 minutes for dinner on M/Tu/W. The breakfast was very good , but limited selection. The furniture in the chalets were old and cushions were uncomfortable.

This place is absolutely wonderful!!! I would give it a 10 out of 10! From the amenities to the location and view; the warmth and kindness of the owner, the excellent food; we loved it all and will definitely be back. Mary upgraded us to a cabin at no extra cost; not something she had to do. Highly, highly recommend.
