We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. Greg, Belinda, and Irene brought smiles and good conversation to our stay. A delicious breakfast that began with a bowl of fresh fruit, yogurt, and coffee prior to the delicious hot dish of the day sprang us out of bed each morning. We appreciated the numerous areas, indoors and out, to relax and read. We were busy with the Acadian World Congress so had no time to take advantage of the pool and tennis court but saw that others happily did. We highly recommend The Harbourview Inn to folks of all ages. We live far away but hope to return one day.

Very nice bed and breakfast. They packed us an early morning breakfast to go as we had an early whale watching excursion the first day. Utilized the pool - water was nice with a view of the bay. Enjoyed sitting on the front porch with a glass of wine!

How come you can only do 5 stars when you would give 10. Owner met us at door as we checked in, complete tour and all information needed. Beautiful B&B, beautiful ground, everything done to perfection. Outdoor pool is large enough for many to be in with aquatic toys provided. Our room, I mean apartment was wonderful, even creamers provided for the coffee maker. Our unit clean and with 2 bedrooms, room available if needed. Owner looks after their property with a lot of pride and could teach other's in the business, how it is done. Tried to stay extra but no vacancy. Why would their be when so much is offered.

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.

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

Beach just a short walk where my daughter enjoyed beach coming. Irene was a great host and even let us borrow jackets for whale watching! We saw her in a local restaurant later and she made a point of coming by and saying hi. Breakfast in the morning was amazing by the windows. We loved it here! Short drive to Digby.

Staying at this property felt like returning home. Greg, Belinda and Irene provided humor and warmth to our stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the food was plentiful and delicious. The property has old world charm mixed with beautiful artwork (much of which is created by the owners) and furnishings. There are several common sitting areas in which to read or chat. We didn't have time to partake of the pool. Perhaps next time. It is just a short car ride to Digby and the St. John Ferry. This inn offered everything I had hoped to find. I hope to return!
