Evangeline's Tower Bed & Breakfast

Canning

We have been travelling around the province and this was our favourite place so far. Jamie (the host) made sure that we had everything we needed, went out of his way to ensure we were well looked after, made reservations for us at a local restaurant within walking distance for dinner and in the morning provided us with the most delicious breakfast with warm out of the oven blueberry cinnamon buns, a fresh fruit parfait with cream and a delicious egg skillet, and top notch coffee. We are already planning our next visit to the Inn and are looking to chatting with Jamie again :)

Beautiful Spot, Amazing Host, Great Food

It's a place of calm and stillness. We are so used to TVs in rooms and was initially surprised to not have one, but really appreciated the quiet this offered. It felt a bit like stepping back in time -- the heritage home is clean and well-kept, and decorated throughout with dated pieces and antiques. A very enjoyable stay and breakfast was nourishing. Jamie is a wonderful host and has a genuine, caring and accommodating personality.

Cozy and comfortable

We spent two nights in the second-storey Gabriel room, which has a deck off it (door to deck in hallway beside room)., but the temperatures on both days were too hot to sit out, even in late September! Our room was spacious and comfortable, with lovely touches from a long-ago gentler time. Though not air-conditioned, the overhead fan kept our room cool and comfortable.  I had read online reviews about the cinnamon blueberry buns...the reviews were correct! We couldn't fit them in at yesterday's breakfast, so we brought them home and just enjoyed them with coffee! Breakfast is very good (especially those buns) and plentiful...we could never eat all that was offered...and the options change daily! Patsy, our hostess, seems to "do it all," the baking/cooking/cleaning/hostessing...and she does it with a smile and a friendliness which we expect to find in Nova Scotian towns! We will likely return, maybe for a wintry getaway...and Patsy promised to test some new recipe ideas on us next time! :-) 

Charm & Comfort

While exploring the Glooscap Trail we booked at the last minute into this B&B. Host Jamie was very accommodating. What a surprise as we walked in the door. The interior decor was a charming trip back in time. Lovely antiques fill the B&B. The other guests were charming as well. Breakfast was delicious and ample. Although I am gluten intolerant, I heard rave reviews about the blueberry biscuit rolls at the table. I was able to sample some excellent homemade blueberry jam however,  as gluten free bread was  made available for me. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Charming B & B

My husband and I recently drove to Parrsboro with the idea of visiting Cape d'Or for the first time.  Booked this B&B on-line and were pleasantly surprised by how clean, bright and interesting it turned out to be, even during Covid-19 restrictions.  Our host, Patsy, met us with a bright smile.  Our room was reasonably priced and very clean.  For anyone who enjoys the Victorian era, this home is a museum piece of beautiful antiques and history.  My husband is still talking about the excellent breakfast....Patsy's Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls were fresh and delicious.  I enjoyed the fresh berries with cream too!  Everything is close by and we even had time for an hour's stroll around town before dark.

Overnight Staycation

We stayed here for two nights, and we almost tried to arrange to stay for a third night just to see what we'd get for breakfast the next morning!  The two that we had were absolutely delicious - the blueberry cinnamon biscuits were out of this world and SO much better than the typical toast we get at most B and B's.  We were graciously given the recipe and I can't wait to make them for special weekends.  And when our hostess found out that we don't eat yogurt, she actually changed her plans for a planned parfait and gave us the most wonderful bowl of fresh fruit.  One morning she made baked eggs  with broccoli and bacon and cheese and another we had an egg hash with potatoes, onions, and peppers. We absolutely plan to return as the house is beautiful and the service was wonderful.  We had the Evangeline room in the turret which has an ensuite bath and while the room has gorgeous antiques, the bathroom is very modern with a beautiful shower/tub.  We could walk all over town easily and leave our car in their yard and so were able to check out some nice little antique shops and gift shops and a great brew pub.

Stay for the breakfasts!!!

I chose this B&B based on good reviews on Tripadvisor. I was very happy I did. When we came to the house, the first reaction was not good, it looks old and in need of some renovation. However, as soon as we got into the house we changed our opinion because it was so charming inside. 

The house is more than 100 years old and it was a family house. Current owner even kept some pictures living in this house in the beginning of 20th century. The furniture is antique and it was collected with love and a great taste. Everything fits very nice together. The house has very welcoming atmosphere and we enjoyed spending evening in the room downstairs. We also enjoyed sitting at the second floor patio. We had 2 rooms, both of them had ensuites. The rooms were spacious, cozy and nicely decorated. I liked the small touches like lace napkins and other little things. What impressed us a lot was old radiators. 

What made our experience even greater was the owner, Jamie. He is the person who goes beyond for his customers. He welcomed us and made us feel at home, provided us with lots of information about the area, told a lot about the house and it’s history. He is the best host we ever met and is very interesting to talk with. The breakfast is another story. It was delicious and different every morning.  We liked the dining room and dining ware. It was gorgeous. 

I would highly recommend staying at this place. Do not be deceived by the exterior. It is the great place to stay, very clean, very comfortable in a great location. Thank you again, Jamie.

Charming Bed and Breakfast with a wonderful host

This is an absolutely lovely place to stay. The building and rooms were great, the breakfast delicious and the location was great. Jamie is an excellent host with a lot of helpful suggestions. Nearby Partridge Island and Cape D’Or were recommended by him and well-worth checking out. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again.

Great Place to Stay!

We stayed 3 nights at Jamies place...he cooked us a great breakfast every morning...the house has elegant charm and style, but the tops was the care Jamie took in helping us "fill" our 3-day stay.  Great tips and very knowledgeable about the area.

Excellent experience

Great B&B your well taken care of Aswell as a yummy breakfast different  everyday I would recommend the Evangeline towers very clean and relaxing the hostess was nice and polite and respectful I will definitely be back!
