Our journey through the Maritimes is winding down. We arrived back in Halifax yesterday (Wed) and are staying in Trish's mom's building's guest suite until we leave on the 30th. We have driven over 3000 kms and over-nighted in 13 locations; almost all were quite acceptable. Some were exquisite and the Bread & Roses was pretty much the best. Built in the 1880's, it is a beautifully kept heritage property. Jodie and Mark have called it home for just over 9 months and are doing a great job with it. The photos below will speak for themselves. We were there for two nights and enjoyed lounging in the peaceful quiet, complete with all period furnishings. It was like stepping back into the 1800's with the only thing missing, the sound of 'horse and buggy' on the street out front.
As usual with the older Inns, there was no elevator but the stairs in this inn were easier than most having been designed for comfortable climbing with shorter treads. Breakfast was a treat too; eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, English muffins, OJ, coffee or tea. It was lovely and all served with a smile and easy conversation.
We've stayed in several inns of this era, all quite beautiful and well appointed. The Bread and Roses takes the blue ribbon. They even sent us off with a "please write and let us know you get home safely" and a hug.
