Detailed Reviews
My husband and I stayed in the Annapolis room last night and had a wonderful time. This is our favourite place to escape the world. Bridgitte and Beat are wonderful hosts who will go out of their way to accommodate their guests and make them feel at home.
Our room was lovely and the bed and pillows are so comfortable. The relaxing hot tub right in the room is a wonderful attribute to this Inn, as there are several. The electric fireplace makes this room cozy and is a lovely view from the hot tub.
Breakfast was beautiful!! Omelette, ham, artisan toast, lovely preserves and wonderful fresh fruit, coffee and OJ.
It’s important to note that we felt safe at all times during our stay as Bridgitte and Beat have taken every precaution to ensure sanitization, mandatory Masks in common areas and social distancing.
We highly recommend this Inn and will most certainly be returning as soon as possible.

We travelled to Wolfville for the Magic Wine bus and this Inn is close enough to walk to the bus and restaurants. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the owner is amazing communicating everything about your stay including the breakfast that's delivered to your room. This property has obviously been renovated in the past and the renovations were done well. I would absolutely recommend it.

This is a very nice spot. We booked the Gaspereau suite for two nights in late March. The room is very large and nicely-appointed, with a really awesome tub. I really liked the stained glass windows in the vaulted ceiling, and the acoustics were great! If you like to sing, don't miss the chance to try out your voice here.
This is a nice room for a romantic getaway, but we found the privacy a bit lacking. The room is ground-level and fronts on the courtyard, and you can see out to the (fairly quiet) side street. There are 8 large windows facing the courtyard, and while they have very nice custom blinds, if you open the blinds for some natural light, it's easy to feel exposed. If the blinds had a top-down option, or maybe if there was some privacy film on the lower half of the windows, you'd be able to get some natural light without worrying about being "public".
Breakfast was nice, and the hosts were pleasant, but to be honest, we felt the value for money was a little off. We had a warmer welcome and a more memorable breakfast (with a smaller room, to be sure) just up the street for about 60% of the nightly cost.

Just because you have the technical ability to do contactless checking doesn’t mean it should eliminate person to person communication if there is a manager on site. We arrived in the afternoon and followed the sign to our parking space which was around the back of the building. You would think that would be where our room would be located. Not so! We walked back around to the front but still could not locate our room. I assume it was the manager who was sitting inside in an office who spoke to my husband. The kitchen was the same number as our parking space so naturally my husband thought that would be our room. The manager informed him that the number of the parking space was not our room. He then asked our name and he informed me the room was around the other side of the building from where our parking spot was located. At no time did he get up out of his chair and leave the office to greet us. This left us feeling as if guests are a burden to him.
Our room included a lovely remodeled bathroom with a walk in shower. The floor of the unit had a new laminate floor but something must not have been done correctly during installation because the floor was damp. We could see our footprints! The temperature in the room was comfortable due to a split duct system.
The housekeeping staff were lovely young women. They were personable and made sure we had clean towels and anything else we needed.
I won’t even bother to go into the extensive set of rules and the consequences for braking them,
I did not expect a high end accommodation. But, if we had felt that there was some personal touch it would have gone a long way towards making our stay more enjoyable rather than an accommodation that has their bottom line in mind. You aren’t going to informed of the lack of a manager on site before you book so buyer beware!

Hello Elizabeth, We fully advertise that we are a self-check-in accommodation: When the world changed, we adapted and take pride in the fact that we can offer contactless check-in and check-outs as all of our rooms have private entrances. Privacy and safety are all part of the measures we implemented to do our part to help to keep our staff, guests, and community safe. I could not get out of my seat easily as I am suffering from a severely sprained ankle with a brace on my foot and sometimes a cane but I did answer all questions asked of me. Thank you for choosing us. Sincerely, Mike Harris - Manager

Our recent stay at the Gingerbread House was wonderful - the new owners had only been there a couple of weeks and already had everything running smoothly. The room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The hosts were welcoming and provided great recommendations for where to eat and things to do. Breakfast is delivered to your room based on the time and menu items you chose the night before - so convenient!
The location is within easy walking distance of the downtown area.
Highly recommended!

We stayed in two rooms at the Gingerbread House in October (Cornwallis and Sunrise). The booking procedures and communications with the host were easy and efficient. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the breakfasts that were delivered to the rooms were large and good quality (and even delivered through the rain). We did have some problems finding the rooms in the dark, and better signage on the property might help. We were also unable to use the Jacuzzi in the Sunrise Suite because some dirt or soap residue or something came out of the jets and muddied the water. Otherwise, we would stay here again.

We have stayed at this property before and loved it and as much as I want to give it a good rating again, I cannot. This B&B is no longer “hands on”. Check in is done by email, you pay in advance and get a code for your door. Breakfast is now ordered by email and you eat in your room. To us this is not acceptable . Having said this the rooms are spotless and if there is a problem, there is someone who you can call. The grounds don’t seem to be tended to as they were and it just isn’t the same. They did try to solve problems but this type of accommodations are not to our liking.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We’re usually known for our exceptional customer service and we regret that we didn’t live up to those expectations here. One of the main things that gives customers flexibility and makes them feel safe in our BnB is our self check in model which is important during these covid times. We are sorry to see that this process was not made clear to you at the time of booking and you did not find it as you would like. If you’re open to discussing this further, please call us at (888) 542-1458 and ask to speak with Ahmed, our owner. We’d greatly appreciate the opportunity to make things right and work toward earning back your business.

A charming inn within walking distance of the downtown shops and restaurants. We arrived late on a Friday evening to find a welcoming room with warm local apple cider waiting for us. The following day our breakfast was delivered piping hot and timely, in spite of a Nor'easter that closed pretty much everything in the Maritimes. My husband chose the Oriental breakfast and enjoyed it so much, he ordered it for the next morning as well. My pancakes and the breakfast parfait were delicious. The owner, Ahmed, had offered a complimentary Texan BBQ dinner that he was considering making available to guests. We were more than happy to partake of the test run. It was fabulous! The staff were lovely, the COVID protocols very well thought out, and the room (Cornwallis) was comfortable and well-appointed. The bathroom appears newly renovated. We look forward to staying again in the near future. Thanks for everything Ahmed and team!

This was our third time staying at the Gingerbread House. Every stay has been perfect.
My husband and I stay in the Annapolis Suite, it is quiet, great layout and has everything we need.
The location is perfect, within walking distance to shops, restaurants and pubs and the owners were available for anything we needed.

It’s been our girl’s weekend location for a few years in a row. We had our second year in a row at the Victorian room which doesn’t have a hot tub but has two queen beds with suits the two of us fine.
Gingerbread house has new management and things are different this year but still highly recommended.
There are some high tech additions. Keyless entry and breakfast brought to your room instead of the usual check in and check out process. They added a smart tv which made Netflix easy no more cable which was not needed.
Great location, clean rooms, good parking, will return.
