It could have been a lovely historic home had the hostess not gone wild with her collecting "stuff". The stuff (not antiques) overwhelms the entire house to the point that proper cleaning can not be done. Definitely not a 5 or even 4 star B&B. Even weirder was the fact that a 5 star rating had been given the previous... More

My review of my recent stay at the Breakers mimicks the others on this site. It's all true. I counted at least 4 sets of heavy drapes on the windows of our room. My friend had to move heavy chairs in order to open a window. Every inch of flat surface including the walls is covered with stuff you would... More

My husband and I got a good laugh at reading these other reviews after our brief stay at the Breakers, which is good because when we stayed there I was nearly in tears. This was the last night of our honeymoon, so obviously all of the places we chose were highly rated, like this, with 5-star ratings. But this is... More

This is a curious place, vastly over-rated. The location is excellent, but the atmosphere is anything but welcoming. We chose this B&B because of the description and the supposedly special breakfast. Most disappointing, very ordinary, cluttered with yard sale items.

Breakers B&B is listed as "a 5 star exclusive B&B. We chose it because it was near the ferry to St John, NB. From the outside it looks "normal enough"- - - - freshly painted. Cheap red chairs on the front porch. The location is lovely- - - right on the harbor. I can't reall complain about the housekeeping, considering... More

I should have read the reviews before I went and will be sure to use Trip Advisor in the future. I echo all the reviews of this place. There was no where to put your belongings in the bedroom because every surface wa covered with "stuff". No where to sit in the house except on the front porch--glad for good... More

I don't mean to bash this place but this is the truth as I lived it. The house was clean and the bed was comfortable. The owners were nice and informative. Here's what I'd change in the guest rooms...remove 99% of all pictures, vases, books, knick knacks, lamps, extra furniture, and some of the layers of heavy window tratments. As... More

If you like "Complete Clutter", out of date everything, Dangerous stairs, a hard to find out how to get into, B & B owners who lie about Restaurants(to steer you to their friends place) and an absolutely overrated B & B then the Breakers in Digby NS is the place for you......It was terrible!!!!!!!!!!!
