Countryside Bed & Breakfast

uxury Accommodations. Awarded Four and One Half Stars by "Canada Select" rating system. You'll enjoy warm country hospitality in a beautiful maritime setting, when you visit our picturesque waterfront farm. We breed Alpacas, Llamas, Sheep and Peacocks. Enjoy the comfort and charm of a by-gone era, with all the modern luxuries you expect at a four and one half star establishment.

Experience the beauty of the rolling pastures, woodlands and waterfront, wander down to the dock and watch the sun rise over the ocean, take your boat out to some of the 365 Islands in Mahone Bay, or stroll through 50 acres of trails in the surrounding woodlands and enjoy nature at her finest.

Unwind at the end of the day sitting on the guest veranda, watching the animals grazing, the eagles flying overhead, or the osprey fishing in the tidal waters off our dock. The evenings peacefulness is broken only by the sounds of animals settling down for the night or frogs waking up to go-a-courting! Look up and marvel at the uninterrupted view of millions of stars.

Wake up to special, full, gourmet breakfast in our formal guest dining room. Your meal will be served on fine china in a setting of beautiful linens, fresh flowers and candlelight. Everything is homemade! Countryside guests tend to linger at the table, visiting with us and fellow guests and enjoying that final cup of coffee or tea. By the time you leave for the day, lunch is often redundant!

Wild pheasant, deer and nature trails abound. Our newest addition are peacocks...just reaching maturity this spring and we expect some sweet young chicks by summer. Our llamas and alpacas are expecting, and every spring is greeted with the arrival of frolicking lambs. Our llamas are Guard Dogs for our sheep and alpacas. They adopt each new lamb or cria (a baby alpaca) as a member of their herd and will protect them against coyotes or foxes (or even dogs). By summer each year, Bruster the Rooster is usually crowing with pride about a new batch of chicks. Countryside is an oasis from the hustle and bustle and full of happiness. There is never a dull moment! We love it here and hope you will to. Let us help you make memories to last a lifetime!

Our home is filled with antiques, collectibles, nautical relics, and each room has original works of art. We specialize in Romantic Getaways and are noted for our full Gourmet Candlelight Breakfasts. We have a lovely guest parlour, full of comfortable sofas, antiques and an ornate Victorian organ. A large supply of reading materiel is available....much of it is on Nova Scotia.

Enjoy visiting the Langille family General Store Museum (this store has been a part of our farm for close to 150 years....and we have only recently renovated and restored it) We will eventually sell fibre and fibre products from the farm.

We invite you to learn proper "Alpaca and Llama Etiquette", and visit with these amazing, friendly animals. No visit is complete without a visit with "Bruster the Rooster", your friendly morning Alarm Clock!
