Shelburne is one of those villages where it is easy to imagine yourself transported back in time. Built in 1784, Cooper’s Inn dates from the period when Loyalists settled here, and the antiques and fine art exude a Georgian refinement that has won it awards. The location, right by the waterfront amid other 18th-century houses, is superb, and there are just eight rooms, ensuring a real intimacy that is enhanced by the hospitality of innkeepers Pat and Paul Dewar. Extra night prices from £55 per person HalifaxConverted from three red-brick, 19th-century townhouses, which were originally the home of the Chief Justice of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court, the Halliburton is excellently located within Downtown Halifax. The waterfront is just a couple of blocks away, and you are within easy walking distance of most sights, including the Pier 21 Centre, which recounts the moving stories of 20th-century immigrants.

North ShoreTrain Station Inn, Tatamagouche If you appreciate original, quirky accommodation, you will enjoy the Train Station Inn. Owner Jim Le Fresne saved Tatamagouche station from demolition in the 1970s and since then has converted it into a three-bedroom inn (breakfast is served in what was the ladies’ waiting room) and acquired seven railway carriages which he has turned into additional bedrooms all with their own bathrooms. The railway line itself now forms part of the 18,078-kilometre Trans Canada Trail, which you can explore on foot during your stay. Extra night prices from £60 per person. Cape Breton Island

This inn is set in the heart of Lunenburg’s superbly preserved Old Town, a Unesco World Heritage Site. Behind the Mariner King’s handsome façade lie just five charmingly decorated bedrooms, a sitting room and a breakfast room. 
Though it is situated in over an acre of parkland, the Pepperberry Bed & Breakfast is only two miles (a 35-minute walk or a 10-minute drive) from the bars and restaurants of Downtown Halifax. With just five bedrooms, it is a good choice for anyone looking for an intimate inn, and hosts Mike and Karen Kinley extend a warm welcome. The building dates from 1915 and original features, such as the fireplaces, are complemented by antiques and elegant period décor. Breakfasts are a gourmet affair of three courses, served either in the panelled dining room or the light and airy sunroom. Extra night prices from
£64 per person.
Greg Pyle and his team welcome you warmly to this delightful inn converted from a handsome Victorian mansion surrounded by five acres of leafy, well-tended gardens. Of the ten bedrooms, no two are the same, but all are furnished with antiques (including claw-footed bathtubs) and hand-made quilts that exude Victorian elegance. Extra night prices from £50
per person.
Named after the mushrooms which grow in
profusion in the 150-acre grounds, this highly praised
inn offers eight pretty bedrooms which have been
decorated with great attention to detail by charming
innkeeper Earlene Busch. We include dinner in the
inn’s own small restaurant, which features organic
and local produce wherever possible. Other aspects
of the inn are also run in as environmentally friendly a
manner as possible and, depending on the season,
you can join various unique nature-based activities. In
June, September and October, our prices include a
short, hands-on introduction to oyster and mussel-fishing,
but there are plenty of optional excursions
you can join too. For example, in June, July, August or
September, you can join a nature tour with
ornithologist Beth Sheila Kent ($64 per person). If
your stay falls on 6, 7 or 8 September 2008, you can go
foraying for edible fungi in the nearby forests and
glens with noted mycologist Kent Mullins and later
cook your finds ($75 per person), or if it falls on 12 or
26 September 2008, you can join a
‘farm, field and foraging’ day ($50
per person). All optional
excursions should be booked in
advance and include lunch.
Extra night prices from £96
per person (dinner included).
