Let me start by saying I rarely bother to review places my wife and I stay but I feel a few words about the Holdsworth House in Digby Nova Scotia are essential. We have stayed at B&B's in Canada and Europe for over thirty years now and NOTHING can match this place for uniqueness, cleanliness and old fashioned hospitality and... More

From the moment I called to make our reservation until I left Digby, and now, Margaret and Tony have been friends more than hosts. Holdsworth is the closest thing I have experienced to an 18th century luxury - impeccably maintained and cared for. Their cafe by the waterfront - Magpyes is another gem and talk of the town, for its... More

My husband and I took my first trip to Nova Scotia this summer and Digby was part of the plan mainly for whale-watching - an experience too beautiful for words. But Digby is also special for a wonderful home and its lovely residents. Maggie and Tony have put in a lot of love in this beautiful property. For me personally,... More

I felt at home from the moment I was greeted by Tony and Margaret and their pets. Spending time with them one evening made me feel like I was with old friends. They are naturals at what they do and are sincerely interested in sharing their knowledge and experiences with you. I had the James Addington Holdsworth room to myself.... More

Reading the reviews of the Holdsowrth House Bed and Breakfast, it sounded too good to be true. It wasn't. We were totally blown away by Margaret and Tony with their hospitality and their home. The home is a walk back through the centuries, while the rooms are holding to that tradition but with the amenities you would expect in a... More

I agree with everything people said before. I can just add that Tony and Margaret have 2 cats and 4 dogs, and my kids really liked to play with them. The house is like a museum, that you can live in- a unique experience, and we loved it a lot. So thanks again to wonderful hosts, for personal care and... More

Our room was a excellent price. Mag & Tony were gracious and helpful. The home restoration was amazing. A convenient location for walking to the harbour area. Breakfast is served downtown at Mag Pye's - so good! We wished we could have stayed longer.

We went for an extended wkend getaway which included whale watching in Digby. Saw the reviews on trip advisor and thought why not. This was one of our highlights of the trip. Tony and Margaret have restored this 1700's house so as not to lose its charm of an era gone by, without sacrificing the creature comforts of today. We... More

This was one our best experiences in Nova Scotia. A pleasant evening followed by a good rest and wonderful breakfast. Margret and Tony were not only friendly, but attentive to our needs. If you go to Digby, this is the place to stay.
