Our stay was absolutely lovely. Mary is a wonderful host and inn keeper. The property was gorgeous and the food absolutely terrific. 100% recommend the Inn for your next Nova Scotia vacation.
We stayed in Chalet #11 with a beautiful view of the ocean. The grounds were lovely with numerous seating areas. The suite was beautiful and comfortable. We wanted to stay forever!!
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:))))
Beautiful place for nice walks to the beach. Five stars on the meals, especially breakfast. Quiet room and very comfortable. The staff bent over backwards to be helpful. Loved the stay and hope to return next year!
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.
One of the most enjoyable properties I have stayed in. Beautiful view, gorgeous grounds, super clean and lovingly and efficiently laid out chalet. Couldn’t ask for more. Most highly recommended.
The house itself was very unique. It was almost like a Bed & Breakfast. The owner was very nice and friendly. The property around the house was beautiful and had a beautiful view of the ocean. In the morning she prepared a delicious breakfast of scones, blueberry pancakes, OJ, and coffee. It was wonderful.
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!
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!
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.
