The room was quite big and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was small, cramped, and in need of updating. Staff were helpful and pleasant. It would have been good to know that the restaurant/bar is not open every night.

We were woken up very early by some other guests screaming and yelling, which was quite disturbing.

Hotel is under new ownership and the Hotel grounds need a ton of work. It was sold to people from India so Canadians don’t own this property anymore.
The garden beds are not kept up and there is a ton of dog poop down around the lake and is very neglected.
There is a tennis court with no net and the grass is growing up all through the cement.
I have to say it was a lot of money for what you get.
Pool was small but nice. Needs a railing desperately because you cannot see the stairs when you walk in and can easily fall and hurt yourself.
The breakfast was coffee/tea, yogurt, muffins that are individually wrapped so you don’t know what you are getting. Apple and orange juice with milk and creamer.
Bed was very comfortable
Nice deck off of the room with a pleasant view of the lake.
Staff at desk very friendly

Was a very quick stay, as our flight was cancelled and we needed a room for the night! Lovely young woman checked us in. We hadn't eaten much as our flight was diverted, and then they made us sit on the plane for 3 hours before cancelling flight. There was juice, and yogurt, and muffins at the Inn which was just perfect!

Our room was enormous with an upstairs bedroom, and a kitchen 2 bathrooms, etc. We didn't really have time to see the property as we got there late, and left early.

Hsd breakfast which was good, but a little pricey I thought. With what we paid for the room, they should include breakfast.

Nice place!

Upon arrival we noticed the property needs a little TLC. Deck boards need painted , pool needs patched, a little landscaping love would go a long way. However, the pleasant welcome at the front desk, a room that although dated was clean and cool, comfy and practical made up for the outside. The pool was too cool to enjoy but we were pleasantly surprised by the in room jacuzzi so we took advantage of that instead! We enjoyed our one evening stay and slept well. I do wish they had waited to move the furniture and vacuum a bit later than 9.30 am above our room but I would still stay again.

The hotel had a major revamp in 2010 but that seems to have been its heyday. Shoreline area rather neglected now and its proximity to the noisy main road means it is never tranquil. But inside it is all good and ideal for a brief stay.

We had such a wonderful one-night stay at Inn on the Lake! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and accommodating, making us feel right at home.

Our room overlooked the lake, and waking up to that peaceful view was the perfect start to the day. We enjoyed an incredible dinner at the restaurant the evening we arrived, and breakfast the next morning was just as impressive. The Eggs Benedict with the house-made hollandaise sauce was absolutely delicious!

One of our favourite moments was taking the complimentary coffee down to the lakeside deck and relaxing in the morning sun. It was so peaceful and made for the perfect end to our little getaway.

The Inn itself is beautiful, charming, and impeccably maintained. Every detail made our stay feel special. We can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend Inn on the Lake to anyone looking for a relaxing lakeside escape!

The property is old and does not have an elevator so bear that in mind. The room smelt stale so bought an air freshener. No phone in the room to contact the front desk and room cleaning was only if you asked. No food service onsite Monday to Wednesday but did have complementary coffee, tea, muffins and yogurt. Being on a lake was lovely and very convenient to all highways. The Inn has so much potential just needs to be addressed.

We arrived by plane - did not have a vehicle and there were no options for food. Restaurant and bar were closed 2 days a week. Had to walk along the highway to access food. Property is poorly maintained

Staff member at the reception not cooperative. Nice and quiet. Could be very nice with a bit of love. No daily room service and expensive breakfast not included in the relatively high room rate.

The room we stayed in was large and accommodated us well. We didn’t use any amenities but they did have a restaurant there. The staff there were nice and got me some decaf coffee from the restaurant. It was a special request. The property was convenient from the highway. The parking lot had only one way in, which was the same way out. A little hard to maneuver sometimes. Overall nice place.

Hotel needs a major renovation, not a good smell when you walk in. Nice location but someone should invest in the property and get it up to standard.

We chose this hotel based on reviews and location to the Halifax airport. The room was large and clean but very outdated. Unfortunately the restaurant and pub are not open on Mondays or Tuesdays. “Breakfast” consisted of a mini fridge on the main floor with yogurt cups and muffins. Be aware that there is no elevator. Our room was on the 3rd floor. Staff were friendly and helpful. Not likely to stay there again.

Nice small resort-like inn 11 km from airport and near Dartmouth/Halifax. Room are more rustic looking, but decent quality. Many rooms with a balcony. Hotel is situated on a lake, including small beach and a pool. Good restaurant on site. Also grocery store, gas, fast food 5 minute drive. Only disappointment is the room has a small fridge, but does not work. Fre parking on site.

Great character of the building and land. But we were only given 1 small tube of soap for 2 people to cover the sink and shower. When we asked for a second tube, we were told they only ordered 1 per room

As it’s still not considered high season, the restaurant was closed on Mondays and snd Tuesdays. They had repackaged muffins and yogurt cups available 24/7 as well as coffee/tea/juice. So we went down to Fall River and ate both mornings at the Good Day Cafe which was excellent. Hotel is slightly dated but clean. We enjoyed our stay very much and will likely return.

The property was beautiful and much more than I expected from the pictures. Our room was lovely and the entire facility is like a museum. Muffins and yoghurt and juice and tea and coffee in the morning, which I didn’t expect and the staff were fantastic.

A very interesting and unique property. We had the executive two level suite. The suite is quite dated and soft furnishings need to be replaced. The kitchenette was not particularly useful as there was nothing in the cupboards. I expected some basic utensils, a kettle and dishware to get my grandaughter a little breakfast in the morning but none were to be had. The suite was tidy but really needed a deep cleaning and dusting in my view. The beds were comfortable and the linens were lovely. I would recommend but perhaps dial down your expectations.

More than we expected. A hot tub and a patio just outside our room so we could have lunch in a sheltered sunny spot. Coffee, muffins and yogurt were available free. The restaurant was not open Monday or Tuesday. A very rural location. Shopping or restaurants were a min 15 minute highway drive away. Sometimes we got stuck on the wrong freeway.

It’s a cute little inn, quaint I’d say. They were repairing the deck and it looked like it would be sweet in summer. We had a room overlooking the pool but it’s off season so too cold. They had a room with coffee and tea all day, and a fridge with some muffins and yogurt in lieu of breakfast because off season. The coffee was pretty good, food was meh. Decor is clean and well kept for being early 90’s I’d guess. We got a room with a whirlpool tub and enjoyed it after long days of walking. It was clean and easy to use. Bed was quite firm, but good quality. Bedding was good quality. I’d like to stay again in summer sometime. I understand the lack of service in the off season, but I would have appreciated a note in room if restaurants that offer take out or delivery, or open late. We tried the bar but it was closed early.

I enjoyed the quaintness of the hotel and its historical touches. The food at the restaurant was excellent. My suggestion would be to have vending machines that use credit cards, as many people no longer carry cash. It was disappointing, when looking for an evening snack, to not be able to access them because I didn’t have cash on hand.
