Amherst Shore Country Inn

Accommodation: Guests appreciate the comfortable and clean rooms, including chalets with modern amenities like kitchenettes and jacuzzis. The accommodations capture the maritime style and provide a cozy atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for romantic getaways.

My wife and I first visited Amherst Shore Country Inn over 30 years ago and have returned a number of times since including in August, 2024. While from the outside the original inn is not that imposing, the rooms inside are comfortable, but there have been more options added over the years including chalets which are quite spacious and modern. The suites in the inn include a gas fireplace and jacuzzi tub with a separate room for watching TV or accessing popular apps. The grounds are quite extensive and include several large vegetable and herb gardens which supply the dining room with fresh ingredients. The shore here is very similar to parts of PEI with red sand and mud in places. However, what really makes a stay in this place is the three course evening meal. These need to be booked in advance and include two choices of appetizer, main and dessert. We have never had anything, but top quality meals here. The fresh vegetables are always outstanding including beets, potato, tomato and broccolini at our last meal. Desserts usually feature local products like blueberries or strawberries. What strikes me most about the Amherst Shore Country Inn is just how consistently good the experience is here over an extensive period of time. Many other Nova Scotian inns have come and gone or gone downhill, but not this place.

Excellent facility, Mary the Chef was incredible very helpful. Looking forward to visiting again from California.
