Blair House Heritage Breakfast Inn

I just noticed that there was only one review on this site. I have previously posted very positive reviews for Blair House on TripAdvisor, but must not have done Unilocal.It is a wonderful place to stay. It is very clean, comfortable, the breakfast is always outstanding, and Dave couldn’t be more congenial. We stay here every time we go to and from Halifax or points further north. I highly recommend it.

I reserve the 5 star rating.
In order to get one from me you need to stand out. You need to want me thinking about returning almost as soon as I arrive.
The Blair House most undoubtably deserves this rating, no question.
A happen chance to find, we had to do a last minute drive from Halifax to St. Stephen and were too exhausted to make the return trip the same day. A combination of Tom Tom and Unilocal said this little gem was less than 2 km away from the border. No pictures, no reviews and no way of knowing what we’d find we gave a call.
The owner David answered despite the lateness of the evening and said he indeed had one room available and we could come right on over.
First off David may be one of the nicest people I’ve met in a long time. He didn’t hesitate to spend a little time getting to know us even though it was well past «guest hours». At 9p at night he advised us to go out and find some food then return and take care of the paperwork… seriously who does that?
The house. I won’t even try to describe it. I can’t do it justice. It’s divine. Trust me.
The room. We were given the only room on the main floor so I can’t speak to the other rooms but this one was lovely. Queen size bed with super comfy bedding (the kind that makes you want to stay under covers all day). Extremely clean and stocked with those scratchy kind of towels you Canadians seem to love so much… oh the reason for the scratchiness? Yhea that’s because they hang those towels out fresh on the line to dry all year round (as permissible). A lovely personal touch if you ask me.
We woke up the next morning and sat down to a delicious home prepared breakfast of which David took before retiring the night previous. Didn’t write a damn thing down and what do you know; everything came out just as we asked.
You’ll get your choice of grapefruit or fresh fruit cup (I had the fresh fruit with a dollop of greek yogurt). Then you’ll either enjoy blueberry pancakes or a standard English breakfast of eggs, sausage, grilled mushroom, tomato and toast. Your meal will be topped off with coffee and a carafe of orange juice if you please.
This place is the epitome of «Home sweet home».
