Circa 1858. On a four-acre hilltop overlooking Bay of Fundy, the historic city skyline and port, this Italianate bed and breakfast exudes simple elegance. The two splendidly restored mansions are furnished with fine antiques and art in a maritime heritage theme. Gather for afternoon tea and treats in the parlor. Spacious guest bedrooms and suites include sitting areas, generous upscale amenities and period-style bathrooms that feature a clawfoot, whirlpool or oversized soaking tub. Linger over the Rise and Dine Breakfast served each morning with just-baked pastries, fresh fruit and a hot entrée and accompaniments highlighting the chef’s choice of the day. Conference facilities have state-of-the-art technology and catering services are available. Ask about customized golf packages.
