Frommer's Review

The proudly Victorian Barachois Inn was built in 1870, and it is a soothing retreat for road-weary travelers. It's topped with a lovely mansard roof adorned with pedimented dormers, and it boasts a fine garden and historic furnishings throughout. Innkeepers Judy and Gary MacDonald bought the place as derelict property in 1982, and have done an outstanding job bringing it back from the brink, adding modern art along the way to soften the staid Victorian architecture. The main house is furnished with high-quality period antiques; the two rooms on the third floor are a bit cozier than the spacious second floor suites, but guests feel far away from the world when tucked under the slanted eaves. Room 1 has a canopy bed dating from the 1840s and an unusually large bathroom. Room 3 on the top floor has both a claw-foot tub and a stall shower. There's a second, newer building next door with four additional executive-style rooms and perks like a sauna, exercise bike, and a meeting room.

The inn is located amid a cluster of other historic buildings on a gentle rise overlooking Rustico Bay. Factor in some time to just stroll around and enjoy both the village and the inn's tidy garden. Ask about the special occasions package, which includes an Anne of Green Gables-themed carriage ride and picnic lunch.

Facilities:
Exercise Room, Sauna, Hi-speed wireless internet
