Overview

Where the World Explores the Annapolis Valley.

Provincial Heritage Property built in 1778 as Fort Hughes.

Located in a picturesque setting across the Cornwallis River from Wolfville, just outside Port Williams with fabulous views of both the North and South Mountains. Close to Cape Split (home to amazing hiking trails and birdwatching), the Lookoff, Blomidon Park, Kingsport Beach and the world's highest tides.

Large comfortable rooms each with pillow topped mattresses, fluffy duvets, and lots of soft comfy pillows. Curl up and relax, enjoy our complimentary "Honey Lavender" chocolates from Gourmandises Avenue Chocolaterie. Get lost in a good book, Wi-Fi, or spend quality time with some one you love.

Wake up to the aroma of a hot tasty breakfast, with fresh yogurt from just across the field at Fox Hill Cheese House and fresh organic produce from Taproot Farms. Then off to the Planters Ridge Winery for a complimentary sampling of their wines.
