I think other reviewers have captured the key points. Great location, 5 minutes from the ferry to visit Halifax, so no hassle driving, also easy getaway to travel east and north. Beautiful home in quiet area, gourmet breakfasts, friendly and helpful hosts Marion and Fred. Yes you have to share a bathroom with the other guestroom, but that is fairly... More

On our roadtrip through the maritime provinces, Blockhouse Hill B&B was one of the best places we stayed. Fred and Marion were wonderful and welcoming hosts and the room was spacious and clean. The breakfasts were also delicious and varied (we stayed two nights and had two very different, but equally good, breakfasts). The location for access to all the... More

We stayed for 4 nights with our daughter and son in law. Fred and Marion have a great set up for 2 couples traveling together. Fred is quite the character, Marion serves up great breakfasts. Fred and Marion are very knowledgeable about the area and very helpful. The accommodation is immaculate and very comfortable. It is a few blocks away... More

My husband and I stayed at this pretty B&B for two nights during our roadtrip. Our first concern was that staying in Dartmouth would make it difficult for us to explore Halifax on foot, but this B&B is located a short walk to the ferry that takes you across the harbour from Dartmouth to Halifax harbour (it only take 12...

This is in a residential neighborhood. It is spotless, and the proprietors are exceedingly warm. Parking is off-street in their driveway -- a bit tricky if there are 2 guests' cars in it (you'll get parked in if you park there first). The bathroom is shared but this created no inconvenience for us. The room was spacious and offered much... More

A small residence in a quiet residential area. Conveniently close to the Halifax harbour ferry. Hosts were very helpful with recommendations. Breakfast was excellent, and accommodating to food allergies. Only minor drawback is a shared bathroom (two rooms sharing), and squeaky floorboards.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this beautiful and cozy B&B in September 2010 while touring Nova Scotia. The owners are welcoming and engaging, very caring and full of interesting stories. The house is exquisite, with four-poster beds, a cozy sitting room with television, books and games, and an atmosphere of openness and decorous taste. Breakfasts were delicious, and the... More

This is an out of the way venue 5 minutes from downtown Halifax. The location was very convenient, the room very comfortable and furnished.The value for money was outstanding at this home. The best part of the stay was the host and hostess. I very much felt I was staying with family rather than a guest at a B&B. Overall... More

Marion and Fred were very friendly and accommodating. We very much enjoyed our stay. The place was tastefully decorated, clean and our room was spacious. We also enjoyed the extra space of the guest living room on the second floor. Breakfast was hearty and delicious. The butterscotch muffins were particularly good! Although not noted on their website, they do have... More
