Jim and Debbie at Rum Hollow are super nice people. Better than that, they operate one of the finest bed and breakfasts we've ever stayed in. About 20 minutes outside Halifax on St. Margaret's Bay, this bed and breakfast has it all: comfortable rooms, great food, beautiful views of the bay, and wonderful hosts. Don't miss this one if you're... More

We booked the first night of our honeymoon in Nova Scotia at the Rum Hollow and ended up staying a second night we loved it so much! Out hosts were kind and welcoming, the property is beyond beautiful and the views are incredible.

Can't wait to revisit Rum Hollow. We love B&Bs and this one ranks with the best. We loved a restaurant they sent us to and had a beautiful stay by the water in Nova Scotia. We live in DC, and loved the friendly people and wine country of eastern Canada. Getting an answer from the owner took a while, be... More

We had two fantastic nights at Rum Hollow. The seaside views are stunning and the rooms beautifully decorated, clean with a luxurious jacuzzi bath.

I'm going to highly recommend... More

I'm not a fan of bed and breakfasts, to tell the truth, because they are always somehow lacking. But this one! Wow! It was like staying in the best hotel, yet with people who are more your friends than they are your hosts! A beautiful location, quiet and serene. All the amenities and first class at that. I mean, Ralph... More

First of all, the location is breathtaking. It's on beautiful St. Margaret's Bay. The house is weathered shakes with white trim. There's a long porch lined with Adirondack chairs facing the bay and a sailboat at the end of the dock. And the property is very peaceful. You have to drive down a long driveway through the woods.
