Homeport Historic B&B

The hosts were warm and welcoming and very helpful. We felt more like guests than visitors. The breakfast was ample and delicious—a far cry from your standard “breakfast included “ hotel. The architecture of the building itself was beautiful and the hosts knew the history well. We had a lovely stay and would absolutely recommend this property.

The room was very accommodating and the breakfast was delicious. The outside appearance is a little run down but otherwise the inside was fine.

This is a unique historical property. The hosts were friendly and they made a truly amazing breakfast! Oh and what a view!!

I did not enjoy my stay there, the Host Lane, was not friendly at all, check in was at 3, I arrived by taxi at 2:52, had to phone her to let me in as door was locked, she sounded annoyed by that and told me that she was still doing housecleaning and would let me in at 3!!! She let me in about 2;55 but she seemed annoyed by it, never smiled.. was in a big rush for me to pay my bill, the only information she gave me was that breakfast was at 8:30 or 9,and which time did i want, did i have any food allergys, and where to put the keys when i left. The outside of building is in bad need of repair; the so called garden area is full of weeds and neglect, inside the furniture is old and worn and dirty . There is no ice machine and she seemed annoyed when i asked for some. I never felt welcome there at all, and I was there for 4 days. It was a wierd experience and I would never stay there again and will not recommend it either.

Clean well kept room, friendly staff and a quiet space to jump off from and explore Halifax

A grand old house. We felt we were transported back into an earlier age, which was a very pleasant experience. Our rooms were spacious, warm and inviting. Breakfast was, as noted elsewhere, great. This place would earn a higher rating if more attention was paid to maintenance of the small things...for example towel bars and bathroom shelving that were hanging by a thread from the wall. They became unusable. Elsewhere, a little paint would go a long way. Still...we felt welcomed by the owners and wish them well in a tough business.

The hot, home-cooked breakfast with fresh fruit is wonderful! Staff is helpful and friendly. Shops are approximately 1 mile walking distance, and there is a bus that goes to the mall down the block. Within walking distance of the first nations footpath, Bay of Fundy, restaurants.

Liked the historical aspect but found the stairs were very narrow; bathroom was very small; nice to have little kitchenette but it had no supplies! There were no restaurants nearby .

The breakfast here was nothing short of amazing. The dining area is beautiful. The staff were friendly and professional. The reception area is clean and bright with beautiful antiques but there is where it ended. In room 4 the bed was squeaky and old, the rug was dirty and the woodwork was badly chipped. The sink cabinet in the bathroom was bare wood and the furniture in the room was badly scratched. This is a beautiful inn but they need to start renovating the rooms if they expect a 4.5 rating to continue.
