The Maple Inn

This is an awesome place to stay! We only had one night here as we were touring around Nova Scotia but would have stayed more given the chance. The new owners took over in 2020 and have gone to town to offer a unique experience. The three-course breakfast is yummy and stylish, as usual, there is tea and coffee 24/7 in the lobby along with popcorn which was different. The rooms are all spotless and welcoming, with soft squidgy carpets, comfy beds, and cookies before bedtime...just can't fault it, and Paul and his team just add a touch of style you don't expect to see in a small town B&B. Location wise the Fundy Geological museum is only a 5-minute walk away, while crossing the bridge check the aviation history. Partridge Island is a short drive away and is a good spot for a picnic, a small walk, and a bit of fossil hunting. I would highly recommend you give The Maple Inn a try, it's a real gem of a find.

Despite our late arrival, our gracious host made sure we were welcomed and gave us a tour of our suite. It was the entire floor which was beautifully appointed and spacious for our family of 4. What a bonus to have everyone on the same floor but in separate rooms. We were able to enjoy coffee early the next morning in our "living room" in the morning from the Keurig machine and fresh cream that was left for us in a mini fridge. A last minute request for breakfast to go as our sea kayaking trip departure time had changed was smoothly met. We had (4) amply packed bags waiting for us the next morning that included warm, delightfully light and fluffy homemade scones among other treats. We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to take a hot bath after being out all day and the (3) course breakfast that included homemade granola, seasonal berries and mint from the garden, a lemon-blueberry scone (a family recipe that indeed should be treasured)and the grand finale of eggs benedict with a wisp of pancetta for an elegant touch. Truly a gem in Parrsboro, that hopefully will soon be expanding into an afternoon tea service or cocktails and tapas in the evenings so more people can enjoy the beauty of the historic property and enjoy the hospitality of the hosts! We were vey glad we switched our plans to stay 2 nights!

Nothing to write here- we are looking forward to our return visit and are excited to see what they will do next to expand their current offerings!

The staff was extremely cooperative and attentive. The food was excellent. If you come to the Bay of Fundy to explore the geology, you could not choose a better location...the Fundy Geological Museum is within walking distance, their Mesozoic dinosaur dig site is 5 miles down the coast, and the Joggins Cliff Carboniferous site is a little over 1/2 hour away to the northwest.

Some of the beach hiking was a bit taxing with rough footing at the Mesozoic site. The Maple Inn was great...easy walking.

Upon arrival, seeing The Maple Inn from the outside you fee like you are in a movie set, it’s so adorable and incredibly maintained. Added bonus; seeing their solar panels, vegetable garden and fruit trees outside too. When you get inside and meet Paul and his son Wilson, you instantly feel at home. The Maple Inn is so welcoming, cozy, and clean. The fresh baked chocolate chip cookies next to your bed are the sweetest touch ever (and they are THE BEST!) “Bedtime snack/lunch” is such a Nova Scotia thing and I absolutely welcome delicious cookies as mine. A 3 course breakfast is included with your stay and let me just say, “Oh my God!”, it’s THAT good. The food is so fresh, flavourful and beautifully presented. I’ll take a Maple Inn recipe book, if one is ever created! The history behind the Inn is documented in a book in each room and is so fascinating to read about. The Aitken’s family story is incredible as well. What amazing people who have been through so much and continue to serve people with genuine enthusiasm and kindness. Parsborro is lucky to have them! Thank you Aitken family for welcoming us into your Inn and home. You made us feel so welcome. We will be back and make sure all our family and friends visit your beautiful Inn, too.

Zero complaints! Everything was great and exceeded my expectations.

A three course breakfast is very special to begin with, and when ever course is superb, words fail. A fresh baked scone, a fruit cup, then three blueberry pancakes with local bacon and maple syrup …all delicious. I appreciated the owner’s warmly hospitable presence online before we arrived and saw it again when we met.

Cannot think of anything I’d change or critique!

Our stay at the Maple Inn in Parrsboro NS was very pleasant. The room was clean, quiet and well appointed. There were extra pillows and bedding which we often request. The innkeepers were very nice people. Breakfast was just perfect. I had scrambled eggs with a hint of green onion. They accommodated my husband diet restriction and made him blueberry pancakes.

Parrsboro needs some love.

The host was more than courteous and very kind. The room left nothing to be desired for, was very comfy and created a warm, historical atmosphere thanks to the antique furniture and eye for detail. Last but not least, the freshly and obviously with great dedication made breakfast looked almost too good to be eaten and tasted even better.

Gorgeous historic property run by a family for whom nothing is too much trouble. so many little touches - popcorn, coffee on tap, quirky cocktails, bespoke novel breakfasts - and lots of good will and humour. A real gem of a place with old school fantastic personal customer service.

The breakfast was absolutely delicious! Everything was homemade, and beautifully presented. The server was very friendly and attentive. The location was perfect. It was within walking distance of the town, and there were so many things to do around the area. The owners son even offered to take us on a guided tour to Ward Falls, one of the areas waterfalls. We had a great time !

We loved everything about our time there. We were welcomed with a smile and treated like family. From the time we walked in the door to the time we walked out.

The maple-shaped waffle with maple syrup was tasty. We even received, for our grandkids, little Canadian flag pins with the maple leaf on them. We even saw some changing maple leaves on trees on the way out. We received excellent steers for where to have dinner and what to do in the late afternoon. We chose a convenient time for custom-prepared breakfast. I liked setting a comfy temperature in the bathroom for after a bath. Our hosts were easy to relate to.
