Tattingstone Inn

Built in 1874 as a farmhouse, this registered heritage property was once home to Leslie R. Fairn, an outstanding Canadian architect who designed many of Nova Scotia’s public buildings. He raised a family in the main house and worked out of the Carriage House. Decorated with a deft touch and furnished with antiques, all rooms have been recently renovated, with the carriage house now offering two luxury suites with private rooftop balconies. In the main house, there’s a living room and 12 units with full en suite bathrooms, some with Jacuzzis. Breakfast is served in the sunroom. Breakfast is served daily in the new restaurant space, Mulberries Food & Drink, while a unique six-course dinner crafted from locally grown and foraged ingredients is offered to the public every Friday evening (C$109 per person) by Chef Nelson Penner.
