In the middle of winter and off the beaten track, we needed a place in Weymouth to stay for three nights. We were so fortunate! This is an old country inn / railway hotel, dating back to 1890. The rooms are small, spare, no luxuries, some have shared baths, but the beds are comfortable....among the best I’ve ever slept in, and between radiators and portable heaters, we were sufficiently warm. The dining room and food service are fabulous! Breakfast, lunch and dinner - emphasis on fresh seafood and fish, lightly fried. The scallops (I counted them....15 and big!) were so good I had them two nights in a row. The haddock was so fresh it was still flapping in the pan, as someone said. Wonderful seafood chowder crammed with fish, wonderful hot rolls to go with it. And homemade pies for dessert - apple, coconut cream, etc. Small menu but sufficient variety for meat eaters too, plus the dining room is licensed for a sip of something to go with dinner. And all at VERY reasonable prices. The host, Pat Comeau, is wonderfully welcoming too. This is a real gem in Nova Scotian hospitality. Get yourself there soon!!

Pat,and her twin sons, Brian and Bruce are excellent hostess and hosts. They are very informative as per history of area. They have a dining room where we had an excellent seafood dinner and a filling breakfast to start us out on our cycling day. They kept our bikes locked up for the night. A beautiful old inn right on the Sisiboo River. There were several areas set up outside to enjoy the view. Lots of hot water.

A wonderful hotel with lots of history and a proud owner to share it. It maybe dated, but worth the excellent cost and you have all you really need. Dining room in the hotel has good food. The view is worth the stay.

I stayed at The Goodwin to be close to an event I was attending, and honestly it is the only option in town. That said, it was comfortable, clean, quiet and the owner was very hospitable. There is a restaurant down stairs with limited hours, but the food is good and all the locals I spoke to raved about it. It felt a little like staying at someone's grandmother's house...yes, dated country style, but well taken care of and great service. They have free wifi, and most things you need in a hotel room, except a mini fridge which would have been handy. I would stay again the next time I'm in the area.

The staff and owners were so accommodating! The rooms are clean and kept that way. The food is absolutely home made and my waist can support the delicious home made meals! Try the fish and chips! Free parking in the rear. This historic hotel feels like a home-stay with parlors and a TV and internet! But the charm and ambiance is not compromised.
Pat Comeau is there to help with anything! And our family thank her and staff for everything.

We stayed at The Goodwin Hotel during our recent visit to the Weymouth area in early April. Even though it was off season and we were the only ones staying in the hotel, we felt completely welcome and at home! The hotel is very old and the rooms are somewhat dated but are very comfortable, clean and quiet. There are three very large sitting areas on the main floor where you are invited to sit and relax, enjoy a glass of wine or curl up with a good book. The owner and staff make you feel completely at home -- they are so friendly and accommodating! The restaurant serves delicious homemade meals and local seafood specialties, and the pies are incredible! There is free wifi throughout the hotel, ample parking and it is close to all amenities.

The room was reasonably priced while the breakfast menu items were under-priced in my opinion. This was not the first time I've stayed at the Goodwin and I hope it's not the last. A most enjoyable visit. Thanks Pat.

The Goodwin Hotel is a historical hotel landmark in Weymouth NS. This hotel is a nostalgic, warm and friendly Inn. The owner, Pat Comeau is most accommodating with many wonderful rooms that reflect its history. It has a homey ambience, with a terrific dining room with home-cooked and delicious local menu. Their dessert pies are fabulous and a must have. It is a jewel in the village with all the trimmings for a good stay.

The Goodwin Hotel is at the heart of Weymouth NS. It provides clean, simple rooms for visitors And tasty food for tourists and locals alike. Lunch and dinner are served, but this is the country. The dining room closes at seven. Nor is there a liquor license.
Servings are generous and the menu offers a pleasant selection. I don’t usually eat fried food, but the fish and chips are irresistible. For the figure conscious the grilled fish of the day is great too. There are also salads and sandwiches.

We stopped for lunch at the hotel restaurant while touring the Bay of Fundy and Nova Scotia's north shore. We had delicious home made soups and BLT sandwiches. Excellent service. Lots of menu choices for hungry travelers. Plenty of free off street parking available. A unique and charming ambiance.
