A great vacation just isn’t complete without great accommodations. Ideally those accommodations are affordable, charming, and convenient; and in many cases, bed & breakfasts can provide all of that and more!
B&Bs are often located in historical buildings, and are operated by knowledgeable locals who can recommend all the best sites to visit. Best of all, they provide you with breakfast! This not only fuels you up for sightseeing (and gets you out the door faster!), it also gives you the chance to meet other visitors to the area.
Try something new and check out one of these great Halifax B&B’s on your next visit.

SeaWatch is only a 10 minute walk to the York Redoubt National Historic Site and nature trails, which is a beautiful place to explore for a few hours.
