My boyfriend and I stayed here in Sept 2012, while on a trip around the Maritimes. We stayed at several great BnB's throughout our trip and the Gillespie House Inn was by far the best of the bunch. The whole house (and grounds) are absolutely gorgeous. After a long day of sightseeing in the Parssboro area, we could not have... More

Great hosts.... we arrived early and were greeted warmly. The house is beautiful and decorated tastefully. I liked that all the rooms were open so we could peek in and see how each was decorated. We had a wonderful stay and the breakfast was fantastic. Wish we could have stayed longer.

One night here September 24 en route from Halifax to PEI. Nice little town to break your journey in and a wonderful B&B. Lovingly restored century home with every comfort. Stayed in the Mcgilvery room which was perfect for three adults and an infant. Welcoming owners and a delicious breakfast. Couldn't have asked for more.

A relative purchased a package from Gillespie Inn (lodging for 1 night, passes to the Fundy Gelological Museum, dinner at Bare Bones and tickets to the Ship's Company Theatre) for us after staying at this Inn last year. We had a wonderful stay there! The Inn is lovely with spacious rooms and antique furniture. The breakfast was delicious and we... More

As others have stated this a charming, uncluttered, comfortable B&B. It is in a quiet location, but can easily walk into Parrsboro. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. I loved the french toast and pancakes AND the homemade muffins are to die for. Lots of comfortable common rooms for reading, talking or watching TV. The hosts were gracious, helpful but unobtrusive.... More

We actually had space in our room to lay out our belongings. Unlike nearly every other B&B, this one was tastefully furnished and without the usual cutesy clutter. Very nice art on the walls throughout the house, as well. Wonderful landscaping, too.

Charming old home. Clean, and tastefully decorated. Friendly and helpful owners and staff. Breakfast was yummy, and room was v. good quality. The location is on a quiet street, so minimal traffic noise. Lovely old veranda porch just right for visiting. Two wonderful doggies - but they won't bother you,unless you ask to see them. Somewhere that people will return... More

This b&b is beautifully decorated and comfortable. The bathroom had a nice claw foot tub, there were wood floors, fireplace, four poster bed and tasty breakfast. The innkeeper, David, was friendly and helpful. Downstairs there are a couple of sitting rooms. I sat in one while my husband was sleeping and David kindly asked if I wanted a cup of... More

We have stayed at Gillespie House on two different occasions and have found it a friendly and inviting spot to stay while attending plays and concerts at the wonderful Ship's Company Theater. This is a B&B where every detail has been considered, both inside and out. The rooms are comfortable and beautifully decorated and the hosts are freindly and helpful... More
