Come to Gillespie House Inn on the Bay of Fundy in picturesque Parrsboro Nova Scotia to discover miles of hiking trails, deserted beaches, soaring sea cliffs and spectacular scenery. Hike along the cliffs at Cape Chignecto, bike the quiet roads, visit the area museums, watch the sunset at Cape D'Or Lighthouse or play the scenic Parrsboro Golf Course. After the day's activity, relax in the comfort of the historic 4 star Gillespie House Inn. Built in 1890 for local lumberman and merchant David Huntley, our Victorian farmhouse is a mixture of architectural styles. The tower, barge board trim and finials in the gable peaks are Queen Anne style, while the projecting bays and bracketed eaves are Italianate. Located on a spacious two and one-half acres of shady maples, fragrant roses and colourful flower gardens, our Inn is conveniently close to the town centre, yet a world apart. Enjoy the sun on the expansive front lawn, snooze in the shade of the century old maples or relax in the comfort of the Victorian Veranda. The Gillespie House Inn offers seven spacious, graciously appointed guest rooms, each with private bath. Antique furniture, hardwood floors, down duvets and comfortable beds await. Five fireplaces add to the warmth and ambiance. Our comfortable library is the perfect place for planning your next day's activities, chatting with other guests, catching up on the news or relaxing by the fire. A hearty breakfast is served daily. The menu features a daily cooked selection, fresh fruit, cereals and yogurt, home made muffins, whole grain breads and bagels, complete with a bottomless cup of fresh brewed coffee or tea. Ask about our special event packages for spas, hiking, kayaking, summer theater, Historic Nova Scotia Tour and golfing. -Lori Lynch & David Beattie
