My husband and I just came back from a three month road trip through parts of Canada and the US, from Nova Scotia to Florida to Texas and California. We stayed at a great many Inns, Bed & Breakfasts / hotels, etc. and sampled a wide variety of quality (and not so quality) quisine along the way. We have stayed at the Blomidon Inn before and always loved it. But after comparing the food, the Inn itself, (the extensive wine cellar) and most especially the quality of the service and staff to everything else we experienced along our road trip, we can honestly say that from sea to shining sea, the Blomidon Inn is still by far the best. Coming back to the Blomidon Inn after being away was like coming home. Wonderful place.

Positives: The top notch staff and personal service, the history and antiques in the Inn, the food, the wine cellar, the gardens, the gift shop.

Negatives: There are no negatives at this Inn.

This is the 5th time or so my husband and I have stayed at the Blomidon Inn. We've stayed at numerous other inns and hotels in our many travels, but nothing compares to the 5 Star treatment and quality we receive at the Blomidon. I go there to unwind and relax and when I need to be pampered with excellent service, elegant surroundings, and the best food in Canada. (The wine selection is wonderful too.)

Positives: Stunning gardens, unique and affordable gift shop, fine dining, good wine pairings, magnificent staff, beautiful surroundings, comfortable rooms.

Negatives: none

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!
