The August House is stunning! It’s a great home base for exploring the wineries and other sights in the valley. Several nice restaurants in walking distance, too.

10/10 Exceptional

Incredible guest house with several rooms, many common spaces including a common room with a record player and an amazing selection of vinyl records. Rooms seem recenrly remodeled, very functional, nice bed (soft). There was a community fridge with ice available, and ice pops, as well as nespresso coffee and milks for the morning. Plus, they serve the a full continental breakfast (homemade granola, yogurt, fixings, hardboiled eggs, salami, procuito, cheese, toast, etc, juice coffee) in this large hall. The grounds have lots of places ro sit and a gas fire ring. A great place to stay!

Phenomenal staff, really felt pampered at breakfast. Staff are very attentive and kind, approachable with any questions or services we required. The barrier free stateroom is inn excellence. Extremely pictureque, amazing decor and extremely clean. Great stay.

Beautiful historic home with friendly staff and complimentary breakfast ( you have to try the homemade yogurt!). Its central location was good for day trips into Wolfville, Anapolis Valley, Digby, Halifax and Hall’s Harbour.

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay. Our hostesses were very helpful giving us information on wineries and dining.
Bruce, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room (#1) was amazing- very large with a sitting area, high ceilings and comfortable bed. Air conditioning worked and parking was easy. There was a personal welcome note with a couple of treats. They even had free icecream sandwiches sticked in the freezer in the common area- who does that?! Breakfast was fine. I can’t think of any negatives- maybe just a note of caution- the toiletries in the bathroom are in glass bottles that can get a little slippery. Yes, I realize how nitpicky that sounds. I wish we had more time to stay and enjoy the August house and the area!

The staff was excellent allowing early check-in and helping with the storage of excess luggage. The breakfast was excellent.

Such a pretty place. Loved our room, Very cute, modern, the bath tub was great with the salts and lavender! Comfy bed and pillows.

Spacious bedroom, efficient check in and lovely breakfast. Windsor as a destination is quite disappointing with limited dining and lacks vitality
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely and unique. This inn was the most memorable experience of my short lived time in Windsor, NS. The staff were helpful and polite and even offered a recipe for their baked oatmeal which was to die for. The bed was so comfy I didn’t want to get up. They have plenty of free amenities and snacks. They even give you complementary bath salts for a warm bath in a spacious tub.
