Breakfast was fantastic. Display was perfect and everything was delicious. Room was large and set up well. Air conditioning was very quiet and efficient. Service was great.
Loved the heritage home. Inn keepers were lovely people. Great breakfast. We had a private bathroom but had to leave our room to get to it across the hall which we didn't like.
Very friendly and hospitable. They have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Room was very comfortable as well as the bed. Best night sleep entire trip as it was so quiet. I definitely recommend this place as it is also close to airport too.
Our stay at The Nelson House was a great, great experience. The hosts (including a very friendly puppy!) were very welcoming and kind. The place itself was beautiful and quaint, with lots of cute decor. The room was very quiet - especially the air conditioning - which made it very easy to sleep.
Now, the highlight of this place is their amazing breakfast. Guests can choose from two different menus, served with coffee or tea (there are a lot of tea bags to choose from!) and a small selection of fruits. Would definitely recommend for a stay near the Halifax airport!
Property very comfortable and super charming.
Proprietors were so professional and fun to be with. Eggs Benedict for breakfast so delicious!
Will definitely return!
The house itself is older, but that is what makes it charming. Although we came in late and had to leave early Marla was quite accommodating and we did our best to be quiet and not disturb anyone. Delicious waffles for breakfast and the table setup was like something from 75 years ago. Delightful stay not far from the downtown and Halifax airport make it very convenient.
