Salmon River Country Inn

Friday night had a great feel to it while we watched the band. We also really liked the cozy room and the spa. Breakfast was nicely presented and just right, and the service was terrific. That delicious Weissbier was a bonus.

The music nights are always good, and the atmosphere is really nice. Facilities were clean, the staff were wonderful, and the food was great for the price.

The meal, live music, atmosphere, and accommodations all turned out great, and my wife and I still remember our stay at the Salmon River Country Inn fondly years later. We'd spent the day riding Nova Scotia's coastal roads and taking in the views, but I lost track of time and underestimated how long it would take to reach the inn. We arrived around 9:00 pm, cold, wet, and hungry. I wasn't even sure we'd still be able to check in, let alone get food. The receptionist greeted us and could tell we were worn out. When I asked whether the kitchen was still open, she said they had been waiting for us. There was a table reserved in front of the live band, and she suggested we eat before checking in. We were glad to do that. My wife and I usually picked a place to stay around noon, then kept riding for the rest of the day. This time, my timing was off.

The restaurant serves great food, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It's a lovely, cozy place. Our room wasn't very big, but it had everything it needed. There's no bath, though the shower was good, and that's what I prefer.
