"Good experience"

"Nice to stay in the historic hotel. As such, the room showed it's age which is not necessarily bad. It had a charm and warmness not found in most modern hotel rooms. The full breakfast was definitely the highlight. It was not advertised as such on the booking site but should be. I was a bit disappointed that the internet was not password protected. I was reluctant to leave my computer on too long for fear of hacking."

"The room was nice. Nice view of the water Garbage was left in cans by previous person. The hallway leading to room wasn’t tidy items piled up such as buckets and unused chairs Microwave didn’t work in the room Screen broken leading to deck"

"Everything was good, but the accommodation was very old."

"Fantastic hospitality, amazing scallops eggs Benedict for breakfast, beautiful view and spacious comfortable rooms. The host, Henry, was welcoming and gave us great advice for places to eat and sightsee in Digby. We can’t wait to return to this gem of a B&B."

"A Disappointing Stay in the Basement Suite at Whale Cove Inn Our time in the "Basement Suite" at Whale Cove Inn was quite a letdown, to put it mildly. Right from the start, it was clear that the reality didn't match up with the expectations. Despite the fancy name, this place fell short in so many ways. Frankly, it was disgusting. When we walked in, the place felt damp and stuffy, and we couldn't even open the window because the screen (on the single window in the space) had holes in it. The blinds were broken, so we couldn't even get privacy from the family staying directly across from us. The kitchenette area was a mess. Everything was filthy, like it hadn't been cleaned in years. The handles on the cupboards were sticky, which was pretty gross. The bedroom was even worse. The bedside lamp didn't even have a bulb in it, and the ceiling light was full of dead bugs. There were dead bugs all over the floor as well. They had put sticky paper ("mac tac") on surfaces, but it was peeling off everywhere, making the place look even worse. The bathroom had a problem with water pooling between the toilet and sink, and there was an odd piece of board covering a hole in the shower wall, barely hanging on with some caulking. There was also a water pipe running through the main hallway that was dripping water on the floor constantly. Spiders and cobwebs were practically roommates with us, and thick layers of dust were everywhere. It was pretty clear that cleaning and upkeep were not high on their list of priorities. Even outside, the so-called "sitting area with firepit & bbq" was a disaster. The BBQs were old, rusty, and covered in cobwebs and bugs. It was like they hadn't been used in ages. The sofa in the living area had a large glob of something sticky on the armrest – it looked like gum, but who knows. And it was so filthy that it seemed like it had been there for ages, gathering dirt. This inn prides itself on being the closest accommodation to the ferry to Brier Island. However, given our experience, I would strongly suggest considering alternatives, even if they're slightly farther away in Digby. While proximity is a plus, it's essential to prioritize a comfortable and pleasant stay over convenience. In short, our experience at the basement suite of Whale Cove Inn was far from pleasant. It felt like they hadn't properly maintained, or even cleaned, the place in a long time. If you're considering staying here, I strongly urge you to seek alternative accommodations, as this place is truly disgusting and should be avoided at all costs."
