B&Bs in N.S.
 

apologies as I know I have seen some recommendations before but I can't find them.

We are planning to visit NS for a quick recci (work restraints) in May and are looking for B&Bs in the Halifax/Truro/North Shore areas.

Would really appreciate any recommendations/links, also cheap car hire at or close to the airport.

thanks

My husband stayed at The Royalty b&b in Turo and was very impressed with it and would stay there again when he goes back, he also hired a car at the airport and had no problems ( was booked on-line in advance ).
While trying to book b&b's at the time I noticed that the prices were much the same (although I thought they were quite expensive)
Hope it helps.

Forest Haven Inn on the North Shore!!!

Had a great experience with them

Good Luck on your reccie :thumbsup:

I second that totally, Royalty B&B on Prince st, Truro. Really it is a lovely place, more like a self contained flat with your own entrance, geat hosts a fab breakfasts :thumbsup:

thanks for replies so far. Will check them out

Can't help with a b&b, but for car hire we have always used:
www.wheelsabroad.com
We have used them on two occasion is Ontario and three occassions from Halifax airport.
They are always the cheapest I can find, but you do have to book 2 weeks in advance.
When you look online and are comparing, just be aware of what is included with each company.
Wheels abroad include the spouse at no extra charge and a few other things.
I can't remember what now.

Hope you have a great trip.

We stayed at the Consulate Inn in Pictou, near New Glasgow.

Really reasonable price, great place, great breakfasts, I would thoroughly recommend them:thumbup:

Thanks.....but I need somewhere within NG itself.

For car hire we always found the cheapest to be airline network who use 'Thrifty' at the airport. The website is now changed and can be found at http://www.netflights.com/

We stayed in pugwash right right by the beach. The B&B we stayed in was the cheapest Ive seen we actually had a self catering house to ourselves which was great with the kids it was called the Eaton webb guest house cost us around 500 pounds for 10 days that was for 3 adults and 2 children bargin.

Re: B&Bs in N.S.
 

That sounds like a good price. Hadn't thought of a self catered house. Thanks for that suggestion.

Re: B&Bs in N.S.
 

I was curious as to your "quite expensive" comment. I have stayed at many B&B's in UK and 5 years ago had to pay GBP35-45 per person, per night. They were all reasonably decent accommodation but didn't offer as many amenities as The Royalty you mentioned and, from The Royalty's photographs, were certainly no nicer.

Pictou is only 15 mins from New Glasgow, don't know if this helps :confused:
