The room was comfortable and clean. We were upgraded by booking directly with the hosts. The crepes for breakfast were delicious. The hosts provided good information on places to see for our short time in the city.

We enjoyed our stay at Ascendence very much. We arrived 2 hours early for our reservation, and the owner upgraded us to the best room in the mansion for free, since it had recently become vacant due to a cancellation. We booked directly instead of through a website, which seemed to help. The breakfast was excellent, with crepes and oatmeal... More

First thing I have to say is that the owners are very very very respectful, outgoing and make you feel right at home! Very enjoyable house! Excellent rooms, very clean!!

The rooms were nice, clean, but as... More

We only stayed one night. The bed and breakfast is a pleasant old house. Nice breakfast. Friendly owners. Not too far from Halifax down town. If you want lots of good of advice on where to go and what to see around Halifax this is the place to stay.

We stayed 3 nights while travelling with another couple. The rooms were excellent and bed quality great. Quit at night but there is significant road noise from Bedford highway in the morning. We rented the jacuzzi room which my wife really enjoyed. Breakfasts were not available until 8:30 am. This is late for travellers; but the Owner did serve us... More
