We stayed at the Quaich at Oakfield which is a B&B with apartments and owned by a British couple.

Here's the website: http://www.thequaichbandb.ca/

Hope this helps.

It was also for sale last year,( lots of $$$ though!) doesnt appear so now, but agree they should be able to give you some good advice, perhaps book a stay with them when you visit?

Julie & Paul from the Quaich have returned to UK, the b&B is now being managed by someone else although Julie & Paul still own it.

Quaich was an odd spot.

The Kaulbauh house in lunenburg is a b&B owned by an English couple from derby. I have stayed there and it is very nice. They are a very nice chatty couple in there early sixties. If you contact them I an sure they will give you the lowdown on it all.

Have they? I'm sorry to hear that, they seemed quite settled when we stayed there a couple of years ago. It was a lovely place to stay (apart from the odd aeroplane or two!) though we didn't stay in the B&B - they also have a couple of apartments, though one of them was almost as big as my old house!!
