Delightfully peaceful country inn

While on our road trip we stayed here for two nights to give us easy access to PEl for a day trip. We were considerably early yet were welcomed by Marko and his beautiful dog Tundra with big smiles and enthusiasm. We were in Log Point, the detached accommodation, Marko had upgraded us as he had availability and we had the entire house to ourselves. The room was beautifully presented and very comfortable with a seating area, king bed (super comfy) & a large bathroom with a jet tub and two sinks. Downstairs is a communal lounge with large windows that overlook the water, the most beautiful view. We slept well and joined Marko for breakfast at the main house. The breakfast is freshly cooked to your requirements, was plenty & at $15.50 per person was also reasonable. The restaurant was closed when we were there and Marko had kindly advised us of this beforehand so each day we would plan to eat out before returning, as we were there to explore the area this was not an issue. Marko is super friendly, knowledgable and passionate about the area, he js always willing to offer advice on where to go/ eat/ see etc. Tundra was a delight and seeing her friendly face each morning was delightful. Thank you Marko and Tundra for a lovely, albeit brief, visit and we hope to see you again.…

Little satisfaction at Little Shemogue!

Traveling from Halifax or PEI to Montreal or the other way round, and think that Little Shemogue Inn would be a great place to stop? Well think again! Considering breakfast, lunch or dinner in quaint Shemogue or at the Inn so conveniently situated on the highway? Don’t! Slam the accelerator instead and clear out while you can!!! Our family of four made the enormous mistake of booking one night at Little Shemogue Inn - the sorriest excuse for a 4-star rating I’ve ever seen. We should have known that in summer, as soon as you leave the safety of your car to search for the hotel host, you would be devoured alive by swarms of persistently aggressive mosquitoes, and why? Because Little Shemogue Inn is nicely located in a swamp of all places! Swamps attract mosquitoes and so do unsuspecting Tripadvisor-booking hotel guests! We are used to finding good accommodations and we are always ready to pay top dollar for them, but this was nothing less than an overpriced scam masquerading as European-inspired class. Fascinatingly, there seemed to be more voracious mosquitoes inside the room than outside, especially in the evening, but if you ventured outside, they seemed more plentiful outside, and if again sought refuge in your room, they appeared more numerous than before! For those of you apiarists, you would not have been happier because, aside from rock hard beds, dingy room, frightening washroom and shower area, not to mention off-kilter door frames, there was a lovely and grandiose hornets’ nest around 35 cm in height, strategically placed on the most inviting terrace overlooking the swamp on the one side, and the admittedly lovely water view directly in front. You could have studied it all you wanted but it posed a clear danger that the Inn completely ignored. The excitable concierge called Debbie, touted a tantalizingly sophisticated European dinner and dessert but it turned out to be a rather ordinary and stodgy oven broiled meat and vegetable dish thing which at least was edible and did not send us to hospital. The funny thing, if you can call it ‘funny’, were the odd comments Debbie made throughout our dining experience that seemed entirely inspired by her evidently and thoroughly ingrained, shall we say ‘down-to-earth’ or perhaps ‘agricultural’ ‘upbringing’. Truly, it was difficult to catch any slumber during our unfortunate sojourn ‘adventure’ because the beds were structured with iron bars that pressed themselves into your spinal column, reminiscent of Medieval serfdom. The best thing about Little Shemogue Inn was escaping from it! …

I don´t know what to say, most of the things you wrote month later are just not true (for example her name is not Debbie and the hormets were not hormets but endangered and protected wasps) and harassing my employees anonymous is just cheap.

a beautiful, tranquil country inn

We stayed at the Little Shemogue inn for one night in September, 2022. The inn is dog-friendly and we felt privileged to be welcomed into such a gorgeous inn with our 2 dogs. The setting is beautifully tranquil, and the interiors are lovely. Each room is different. Ours had 2 double beds plus a little twin bed, a bathroom with tub and shower, and a comfortable chair. Breakfast was prepared to order in the morning, and it was very pleasant to share conversations around the table with the other guests. The host was very friendly and helpful, and even told us how to get to a nearby beach area where we could let the dogs play in the water. I wish we had planned to stay for more than one night there, and we will definitely return.

A Neat Little Place.

I can only,in all honesty, leave a review for one room because thats all we experienced. We stayed 2 nights. The three of us stayed in the new annex across the foot bridge, the blue suite with the king bed and single bed. I love the inside of the building. Its very homey and has an upscale lodge feel to it. It was also very quiet. The two unpleasant things for us were, the bed was VERY firm BUT we have a preferance of soft beds. Also know that these are marshland/costal areas in the maritimes so the mosquitos are vicious. No walking or sitting around outside for us! WE RUN! Excluding those two things it was great stay. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Stop for coffee this afternoon

Great place and amazing setting. They opened the place for my son and I. Served us a pot of coffee, a mixed salad with bread and cheese and to our surprise ... included a delicious crême brulé. It made our road trip from Cap-Pelé to the Confideration Bridge memorable. Thank you. Fernand and Michael PS we will return

Room nice but small, food average

We were pretty disappointed after all the rave reviews. The place was absolutely alive with mosquitoes. We got eaten alive and got many in our room just getting in from the car - nothing the owners can do about that. . . but it was very annoying. Room was very small but well equipped with AC. The "headboard" for the bed was an iron rail held onto the wall with a hook - in the night it literally fell on our heads! Owner was apologetic in the am but not too concerned since we were unharmed. Our big disappointment was dinner. $42 a person and lots of crowing about how chef's come from around the world to eat here. . . uh huh? and only the salad was to write home about. Salad was excellent though we are not fond of a lot of sweet with our savoury, and salad was very sweet - but was truly delicious. Sorbet between salad and main was great - strawberry bourbon - excellent and home made. But the main was really disappointing -- salmon (farmed I assume) with an orange sauce (very very sweet) and grilled asparagus, and plain white rice. My husband's salmon was burned and the whole thing was pretty "flat". Definitely not to rave about. We were expecting better than we could do ourselves, given the rave restaurant stories. . . and we go to fine dining more than most, but it was "phoned in" the night we were there. They have a reasonable wine list, at reasonable prices and breakfast was very good - above average but also priced above average. So Room was $132.00 Dinner was $42 each, plus wine, add tax. Breakfast was $12.00 each. You are a bit "stuck" on the food, as there is nothing else nearby. I imagine it is great if you can stand the mosquitoes, and like to hang out with a view. We saw a bridge across the inlet (becoming a marsh) but could not follow the path because of the mosquitoes. No idea where the pic in their website comes from - we saw a sun porch, our room and dining room. No "great room" like the one pictured. When we arrived a quiet woman (who it turns out is the chef) showed us to our room - no smile or welcome - or invitation to see more of the place, or have any idea what to do with ourselves. We had to ask a lot of questions about dinner - including where and when. . . we felt like we did something wrong. . . (and maybe we did) I guess what others perceived as "letting us have our privacy" was coldness to us. Male host was warm and chatty during dinner, and breakfast, which we liked. We don't mind paying, sometimes a lot, but $305 for one night here (even with two meals for two), well off the beaten path, still seemed like not good value for money. On the Up side - you would not get food like this even a long drive away. . . I am sure sometimes, even often it is great - and it was not pub food! All fresh - breakfast came with fruit salad, bacon and eggs and a cheese. . . and a whole pot of tea which we liked very much. We did not sleep well because room was hot without AC, but AC was very noisy - mosquitoes were whining in our ears, bed was probably great for some but too soft for us. So we did not sleep well at all. It sounds like we just hit a bad day, and nothing they could do about the mosquitoes. . .…

Dear Emma, I read your response with mixed feelings because when you were here yesterday, everything looks fine and you liked your stay. Now I have to read your comment,that you and your husband didn´t enjoyed your stay. We are so sorry, we saw your stay the opposite way. I heard Janine and you both were laughing a lot during check-in, that didn´t sound cold to me. About the paying, you booked online and all prices for room, 4-couse-meal and breakfast were shown to you, so they were no surprises to you, I think. Your husband made a lot of praises during dinner and also before you left, but your review sounds to me like the opposite. Our sincere apolgies again.

Beautiflul facilities and setting

Friendly, helpful staff noticed while tidying the rooms that we had a box of teabags so they brought us a kettle since the in room coffee maker was not able to just heat water without a flavor pod. That was nice. We only had breakfasts here but the service was attentive and the food was fresh. The Log {point cabin was amazingly appointed, beautifully decorated and had awesome views. The heat pump kept some rooms cooler than others, and one of the overhead fans crazily bumped a ceiling beam causing us to shut it down in worry, but all in all a lovely spot unexpectedly hidden like a gem.

Fabulous stay!

My husband & I spent June 30; checked out next day. We found Little Shemogue Inn in our research for a quiet, quaint spot near the water .... wow, what a find! We had been driving, visiting lots of intriguing spots in Quebec, NB and more. The Inn filled our wish to lay back, enjoy nature & amazing food. Janine, a European trained chef, indulged us in a superb dinner & breakfast. Her husband, Marko, had fascinating stories to tell about his upbringing in Europe. We kept asking him questions - so interesting. Their teenage daughter & friend served us in style. We highly recommend the Inn and hope to return.

Right out of Anne of Green Gables -- Quaint and fed one's fantasies

Loved this place. We pulled out of a cookie cutter to stay here en route to Nova Scotia from Maine. my only regret was that we did not stay two nights. Run by a German-born couple, we we so interested in their history, too, and what brought them to Canada. Have recommended the place to several younger couples.
