The Inn at Fisherman's Cove

Nice rooms but recommend one overlooking the inlet with a deck. Road side can get noisy. There is very little contact with the owners but very good printed instruction /signs throughout the inn. Our room was a moderate size with mini fridge in room. The view from the deck was amazing and so relaxing. Short walk over to the Eastern Passage dock and stores. We picked up a fresh cooked lobster at the Lobster Dive and enjoyed it on our deck. Breakfast was good as the owner would make pancakes or eggs fresh for you. A good stepping out place to get to Halifax without the business.

People were very friendly, rooms were clean and well equipped. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was tasty. We did not have a harbour view room and I was fearful it would be noisy overlooking the roadway. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was. This place ticked all the boxes for us.

The room was as advertised, but the advertisement made it sound better than it was.  If you are looking for just bare basics for 1 night and need to be in Digby you might be ok here, but I still wouldn't recommend this Inn for many reasons.  The room and bedding were dated and had a scent that bothered us so much the entire time we were in the room.  I woke up in the middle of the night with a swollen and very sore throat, which I think was from the air or heat in the room – as it went away immediately after we checked out of our room.  The Inn didn't have room darkening curtains, and thus, it wasn't dark enough in the morning for us to sleep fully.  We also awoke to a lot of early morning fog horns – I guess to be expected in this location.  The Inn at Fisherman's Cove is on a cove, I certainly wouldn't consider this an Ocean Front hotel.  The add and pictures make it look like a cute, amazing place to stay – but it was not.  If you are thinking of saving money by staying in Dartmouth versus staying directly in Halifax, take it from me – the bit of extra money is worth it.  You would be better off staying in Halifax because that is where all the fun and good food is to be found.  Eastern Passage in Dartmouth is a small fishing place with a lot of boats and some restaurants – there is also a beach where people were fishing,  We took the ferry from Dartmouth to Halifax – which is very doable, but you may regret it depending on your type of vacation.
