We rode into town at 8.00pm on a Sunday evening in April. Everything else was closed, and we ended up at The Loyalist. The kitchen was already closed, but the owner offered to cook us a couple of steaks. They were absolutely delicious, and the owner was very friendly and helpful. We met and chatted with a couple of locals... More

I looked at a few places to stay online and finally decided on this small hotel due to offseason closure of some of the b&b's in the area. I am glad I decided to stay there. I made my res online and found when I arrived that I got an upgrade to a room with a queen bed. The room... More

Excellent value in the heart of historic Shelburne. Clean comfortable rooms. No hard mattresses or lumpy pillows here! And, if you missed having your meal at the Loyalist, you should at least try the bread pudding. Unbelieveably good! I would not stay anywhere else when visiting this area.

Thanks for the nice review. Over the winter we finished more renovations and now we have a Tea Room, and new Banquet Room. There is still lots to do and slowly we keep improving the place so that our customers will enjoy it even more. Thanks again, Gary. More

We were among the very few first customers here, in May of 2009 when the place hadn't really opened yet. I could tell it was a place with tremendous potential, and I'm glad that things are looking so good. At the time of our stay, the main floor of the hotel was not yet open for business, and there was... More

I found this Inn on the internet and stayed while travelling there, as it was the only place with a restaurant. It turned out to be a good choice, as the restaurant menu at the time was good and with changes of the menu in the summer of 2011 is now very good indeed. Exterior renovations not completed, but nothing... More

The Loyalist could not have been a more perfect place to stay. Excellent! Clean, quiet, comfortable, with very good karma, in the dining room downstairs . . . The food is terrific as well, Thanks very much Gary and staff! We could have spent our last 2 nights in Shelburne in Ritchie Haven's beach house, but turned it down to... More

I wandered into the Loyalist Inn to get a drink. It was early June and I was the only one there. I struck up a conversation with the owner and ended up having a wonderful dinner. We got talking about traditional Nova Scotia foods and he told me to come back (I was camping) the next morning and he would... More

The owner, Gary is great. All the staff are awesome. We went to Shelburne for a family trip to do genealogy research on my wives family. It had a great location and great food. It was close to the waterfront. They were building an outdoor patio for the bar when we were there. The beds were very comfortable.

We arrived very late the first night and the kitchen was closed but we were starving. The proprietor Gary, without his Chef, as she had finished long before we arrived, cooked us a wonderful midnight supper. Very friendly staff that accommodated every request, clean rooms with awesome beds. The food was as good or better that anything you would get... More
