The dining room serves delectable sea and land dishes such as pork schnitzel and scallops with a sauce of Amaretto, cream, and spices.

Perched high above the village and the ocean, every window (and there are many) in this modern property affords a spectacular view and eliminates any need for air-conditioning.

Within easy walking distance of the main attractions in downtown St. Andrews, this wonderful country inn was originally built in the 1840s by the Pheasant family, and the current owners have carefully renovated the property to preserve its historic authenticity.

An 1847 farmhouse just minutes from Hopewell Rocks now provides stylish and comfortable accommodations in rooms furnished with antiques and quilts.

Breakfast includes hot dishes, home baking, and homemade preserves. The inn now serves a three-course dinner—the menu features local seafood including a popular lobster seafood pasta.  

This mansion with a large deck sits on a hill with lovely views over the harbor; built by a sea captain, the home on 10 acres of grounds has been an inn since 1871. Many of its original furnishings have been retained in the guest rooms, and refurbishment has been mindful of the inn's history and character. Large black-and-white photos grace the living room, and there's a large deck. Seafood is served in the dining room, and guests can request packed lunches. There's also a guest kitchen and laundry.

This lovely French Empire--style heritage home has recently undergone a gorgeous and thoughtful renovation. Four pretty rooms have a bathroom en suite, the other is separate but private, and each has either a shower, a whirlpool, or an old-fashioned claw-foot tub. As part of the renovation, the owners added an on-site eatery, the Nummy Cafe (guests receive a 20% discount), which is popular with locals. There's a large front deck to relax on.

Right on the water, next to the fishermen's wharf in the heart of the bustling village, this long-established inn also has a very good restaurant. Each of the rooms has an individual, restful, if somewhat dated style, while the suites have a veranda, private entrance, and 8-foot windows facing the bay. In the Tides Restaurant, the menu offers dishes such as scallops flambéed with Sambuca, bacon, and cream, lobster-stuffed chicken, and hickory-smoked ribs. A wall of windows overlooks the water, interrupted only by the hummingbirds that buzz around feeders attached to the glass.

High on a hill overlooking the Bay of Fundy, the appeal of this restored sea captain's home comes from both its Victorian interiors, including antiques, quilts, and old-fashioned wallpaper, and the accomplished cuisine. The adjacent carriage house has four rooms, and guests with children are welcome to stay here, though not in the main inn. Formal dinners in the on-site restaurant are excellent, and Coquilles St. Martins, a rich medley of lobster, scallops, shrimp, and crab in a creamy wine sauce, is the house specialty.

This is one of the best locations in town, with gardens stretching to the water's edge and the harbor just two short blocks away.

Rooms 5 and 6 have kitchenettes and Jacuzzi tubs.

Set in acres of gardens, this pretty inn offers a calm stay in antique-filled rooms, with attentive hosts going above and beyond to ensure your stay is wonderful. There's a mix of standard rooms and suites and a honeymoon suite with a Jacuzzi tub. Breakfasts are exceptional, with eggs laid fresh by the inn's hens out back.
