My sister and I stayed for 2 nights in May on a whirlwind tour of Nova Scotia. Absolutely loved the place. Breakfast was outstanding - we don't like grapefruit, but we loved it the way Nel served it! The house was utterly spotless and our room was charming and well appointed. This was our first experience of a B&B and... more

Nel and Maarten are wonderful hosts in a B & B that has many amenities. Greeted warmly by them, you are shown a spacious, clean, nicely appointed room. Lovely gardens, a spa, comfortable sitting and breakfast rooms made for enjoyable times with Nel, Maarten, and fellow guests. We stayed three nights, using The Baker's Chest as a hub for touring... more

Maarten & Nelly were great hosts. Their B&B was immaculate and the breakfast was great! We enjoyed our visit with them and they were most helpful in suggesting other travel advice.

After check-in... more

Spacious room, nicely decorated. No traffic noise but the railway can be heard (in the rare event of a train). Owners try to get all guests at the table for... more

The Baker's Chest B&B was recently known as At The Organery B&B, and has undergone a change in ownership. No worries, this is not a reflection of quality or cleanliness issues, simply the retirement of the former owners. The new owners are Maarten and Nelly Schuurmans, along with their friendly dog Deeko. Maarten greeted us upon check-in with an offer... more
