My wife and I (seniors) booked a 2 day stay during our 10 day road trip in Nova Scotia. On-line information showed a pretty amazing site with great food options. The food was important as it is quite isolated and there are no other options nearby. Beyond a king room, we didn't know what our room would be. Room 132 was in a 6 unit building a short walk from the main lodge with a view of an estuary through trees. There was a small deck but it was quite dirty as were the 2 chairs. We did not use it. The room was comfortable but not quite clean enough. (hairs of previous occupant in bathroom, floors not clean). There was no luggage rack in the room. Certainly not luxury. Our first dinner there was nothing special. We enjoyed the live music in the lounge afterwards. Breakfast the following morning was terrible. A most aweful buffet was presented as the only option. As I said, there is nowhere else to go. The selection would have been about the same as a "breakfast included" budget motel except that several food trays were empty and remained so. There was only bread crusts left for toast. I'm sure the sausages were cooked but their appearance looked uncooked. Most unappealing. The bacon, when available, was undercooked. Some juice container were empty. There was a lot of unhappy people. For dinner that evening, I has a quiche entre. It was a meagre portion of greens with an undetectable dressing along side a small, dry and stale piece of quiche. I asked the server to take the quiche back and tell the chef they should be ashamed of themself. The meal was replaced with a bowl of lobster bisque, as I requested. The bread served at dinner is a squishy white and tasteless bun. The service was good in the restaurant and lounge. At the bar, I asked for real cream to have with our room coffee and it was readily provided. The indoor pool was an attraction for us. When we first approached the pool, signs said there were no towels available. Later, their were towels but you were asked to take only one. They were too small to actually wrap around you. Ocean front cottages are very rustic looking on the outside and they have no ocean view as there is a high burm at the shore line. The ocean beach walk was nice. This resort has more of a summer camp feel than the lux resort it is promoted as. Maintenace seems neglected. The vegetable garden, shown on the site map, was once a cluster of raised wooded box beds. They are all falling apart and abandoned. Don't expect a lux stay here.
