3 Best Hotels in Parrsboro, The Eastern Shore and Northern Nova Scotia

Colorful gardens border the driveway leading up to this 1890 home that is convenient to Parrsboro but also a great choice for active visitors—the hosts can organize golfing, kayaking, and hiking experiences for you. Antique furnishings, hardwood floors, and five fireplaces are a testament to its Victorian vintage, yet modern amenities ensure you never feel cut off from the present. The 2½-acre property is ideal for strolling, and guests often relax on the front lawn or the marvelous veranda.

Two Italianate homes built in 1893 have been combined to form this charming inn within walking distance of downtown Parrsboro and the waterfront. Local residents often reserve Room 1 because many of them were born here when the building was a hospital and this was the delivery room. Public areas include a veranda (splendid for watching sunsets) and sundeck. 

Although this 1880 home, set far back on a 4-acre lawn, presents an imposing face, it's bright and modern inside. Each room is decorated according to a theme. The quiet ground-floor guest rooms are spacious, with big windows and sitting areas; the upstairs suite has slanted ceilings, wood floors and walls, and an extra sofa bed. Breakfast is buffet-style with options like local berries and smoked salmon.
