We chose this B&B because of it's location (good place to split up the drive from Montreal to Lunenburg) but it's so perfect, and the owners such good NB boosters, that I'm considering Shediac for next year's vacation, with an extended stay here too. Tom and Judy are born innkeepers, warm and friendly and perceptive about every traveler's needs. I loved the attention to detail everywhere (the decorations, linens, wonderful family memorabilia, breakfasts!) and marveled at how they'd gathered hints about what makes a good B&B from their own travels, and incorporated everything into their place - huge bath towels and a seemingly endless supply of them (I didn't have to ask for an extra towel to wash my long hair), every kind of hanger in the closet including pants hangers and padded ones, the absolutely best selection of pillows I've ever encountered (and I am ridiculously fussy), really great room-darkening shades, coffee and tea in each room, really nice toiletries that were different each time we stayed. We loved the Mactaquac room which had the most amazing view of the river from two walls of windows, but the other rooms have their own charms. The grounds are beautiful, the water is right there, and the sunRISE on the river was pretty great too.…
You'd be hard pressed to find a more perfect B&B experience. Delightful hosts, gorgeous (spacious, comfortable, luxurious!) rooms and a spectacular setting. Judy and Tom have put a great deal of care into the guest rooms and we felt wonderfully spoiled.
Our stay was just too short! It was lovely! Judy and Tom were wonderful hosts! So friendly. Our room (the Mactquac room) was large and beautiful, overlooking the water and a gorgeous yard. They served a delicious breakfast and we certainly didn't leave hungry! Our daughter was being married nearby and we needed a spacious area for her to prepare for her wedding. She was delighted with the decor and the well-kept grounds. It made for beautiful pre- wedding photos. Thank you Judy and Tom for your hospitality! 😊
Wow! Wow! Wow! We have been travelling and staying in B&Bs all over the continent and abroad for more than 45 years. Our experience at Sunset on the River was outstanding. Not only does the house have a wonderful location with great views of sunsets on the river, but it is bright and airy and very home like. The rooms are warm and inviting the beds are comfortable and encourage you to stay a while! The full country breakfast is just that! Lots of delicious homemade food. But the best part of the experience is listening to Tom and Judy tell their stories. It felt like visiting with a dear friend whom we haven't seen for sometime. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely be staying in this wonderful B&B.
From the moment we arrived, hosts Tom and Judy made us feel welcome and comfortable. Their home was relatively new and designed and constructed to be a B&B. Based on their website and reviews, the Mactaquac Room sounded the most desirable, however it was already booked. So we stayed in the Riverview Room and were very satisfied. It gave us plenty of space, a comfortable bed and a good view of the river. The connected private bathroom and shower was very nice and spotless. There was a community room and dining room on the ground floor, where Tom and Judy served excellent breakfasts. Not only was the food delicious, but we felt that we were getting good quality food prepared in very sanitary conditions. We really appreciated our host’s excellent recommendations of things to do and places to eat. We also appreciated them taking the time to answer our questions and share their knowledge and insights on life in the area and Canada in general. We arrived Friday evening and left Sunday morning. Saturday morning was spent in Fredericton walking around town and checking out the farmers market (nothing special) and in the afternoon we visited Kings Landing, a historical settlement just a short distance west of Sunset on the River and well worth a visit.…
