I took my husband to celebrate his 60th birthday at the Blomidon Inn. After reading a couple of reviews that were less than 100 percent positive, I was a little worried, but when I got there, I was INCREDIBLY impressed with the level of beauty, comfort, welcome, and attention to the smallest detail the staff at this Inn gave us. I had purchased the 2 days, one night "Romantic Getaway package" in one of the smaller rooms for a very good price, which included champagne and truffles, one full "Captain's Dinner", a NICE continental breakfast both mornings, as well as a charming afternoon tea, both days. I could easily have paid more in Halifax at a plain motel, with nothing extra. Within minutes of our arrival, one of the wait staff showed up at our door with a silver ice bucket of iced champagne, elegant glasses and a box of hand made truffles. From the moment we arrived to the moment we regretfully left, our entire experience was postive, warm, relaxing and just made you want to smile. Staff remembered the little things, such as where we liked to sit in one of the smaller dining rooms (the library room), kept my coffee or tea cup filled, ran errands for us, and generally made us feel like we were guests they'd been waiting for, and were happy to see us. The dining experience (we decided to dine there both nights) was some of the best food I've ever had. We used to have another "favourite place" in the Wolfville area, but we won't be going back to the previous favoruite because we already know we'd be disappointed. Why go back to less than perfection? I can't say enough good about the Blomiden Inn grounds (which are gorgeous, especially the serpentine trail and the fountains and gardens), the staff, the Inn itself, the food and the ambiance. What a lucky find!
