This was our second stay at the Regent, and this time was as enjoyable as the first. The house is a grand old home not far from the centre of the old town - you can easily walk to nice restaurants and shopping. There are a number of historic properties within a few minutes, and here and there throughout the town one comes across trees which have been carved into figures. Jim, the host, is very genial, and it is obvious he is intent on making your stay at the B&B and in town as pleasant as possible. He is a font of good advice on where to go. The rooms are well appointed, very clean, and quite comfortable. We enjoyed the generous breakfasts in the dining room; like throughout the house, the dining room has beautiful woodwork and many interesting art works from Jim and Gwen's time up North.

The Regent is a very comfortable, historic house in Amherst. The owners are excellent hosts, and treat you like they've known you for years. Rates are reasonable, and a great value for the service andcomfort.

We spent one night at the Regent B&B on our way through Nova Scotia to New Brunswick. We arrived by train and were met from the railway station by Jim, the owner.

We were extremely well looked after. Jim gave us plenty of information about the local area and was on hand to answer any questions. The house itself is a beautiful historic house built in the late 1800s. Our room was excellent, with an incredibly comfortable bed (read: impossible to get out of for that reason!) and a tidy bathroom.

The breakfast was excellent - we opted for french toast with bacon and maple syrup, amongst other things. Following breakfast, Jim was happy to drive us to the bus station for us to catch our onward connections.

The B&B is well located for the town and is a great place where you will be made to feel most welcome.
