Marla and Darrell treated us like old friends the minute we arrived. The home is a delight to see. Our room was very comfortable and well decorated. Marla’s breakfast looked like a work of art, and tasted even better. Thank you guys for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful B&B
The Nelson House is one of the best B&Bs in Nova Scotia. The hosts are amazing and jumped through hoops so that we could leave early the day after our stay. The house is spotless and the beds, rooms and washrooms were beautifully appointed. We will definitely be back.
