The Gillespie House Inn is absolutely beautiful, the rooms are spacious and the breakfasts are delectable! Lovely staff and on-site owners, all of whom are glad to give you info about the Parrsboro area. 
Highly recommend this B&B - and also visits to the Dinosaur Museum and Ottawa House.

Marvellous Visit to Parrsboro

Had a fabulous stay.  The attention to detail and decor are wonderful.  The room was beautiful from all aspects. The grounds the gardens, all lovely.
The owners and staff were very welcoming and friendly to us and our dog. 
Highly recommend this beautiful Inn.

Wonderful stay

Absolutely beautiful property. Yard and gardens are meticulously maintained. Owners are very nice and familiar with everything there is to do in the area. They helped us out tremendously with directions and recommendations for local eateries/breweries. Would definitely stay here again. Rooms were exceptionally clean and staff very welcoming.

Absolutely perfect

We really enjoyed our two nights at Gillespie House Inn. We were here pre-pandemic and it was wonderful then. The new owners, Lisa and Troy, (as of Jan 2024) have added a number of improvements that make it even better. 
They've added a beverage area on the upstairs landing, in case you want coffee or tea before or after breakfast service. Speaking of breakfast, we love the menu; starter choices of cranberry & white chocolate scone or blueberry muffin, and mains of waffles, full bacon and egg breakfast, crustless quiche, in-house-made granola, and I think something else, I don't recall. I had the bacon and eggs one day and the crustless quiche the other, all perfect. 
The interior of the inn has been repainted in cheerful and calming Sea Salt colour. There are three indoor sitting rooms, a sunroom, and the big veranda to enjoy, as well as the outdoor garden space. 
Lisa and Troy are so pleasant and attentive; they truly made us feel welcome.

Was wonderful, now even better

As the other reviews indicate, this is a beautiful property. The gardens & grounds were also lovely. We stayed just one night but really enjoyed it.  The hosts were lovely and welcoming.  Our room was comfortable and all seemed to be super clean.  The breakfast was very tasty. I'd definitely stay here again if visiting the area.

Beautiful Home and Gardens

The Gillespie House Inn is an 1890 Queen Anne Revival farmhouse. I  had the Huntley room, named for the merchant/shipbuilder who built the house., and it's beautiful -- olive green with a queen mahogany sleigh bed, a marble fireplace, an antique desk and dresser, a nice bathroom, a double window facing the front lawn, and several framed prints of old sailing ships. The rest of the house is also beautiful, with a few sitting rooms for guests that include a library. The breakfast area is is very attractive. There's original contemporary and classic art throughout the house. The front porch and backyard were great to relax in and enjoy the peace and quiet. There's even a small church adjacent to the back of the property. Lori and David were friendly and gracious hosts and the dog 'greeters' Abby and Piper were wonderful. Breakfast was great, with a lot of the items homemade by David (granola, bread, jams). It's only a few minutes' walk to town, and it's close to so many activities. I'd definitely stay here again if I'm in the vicinity.

One of the best inns I've ever stayed in (and I've stayed in many!).

Honestly the best place we stayed on our summer vacation to NS. Beautiful and sparkling clean house and room. Amenities were great, the grounds are beautiful and its a great location from which to explore this part of NS. The hosts are really sweet and friendly and provide a great breakfast. What a gem! Stay here!

If I could give it more stars, I would

We just got back from Nova Scotia. There is a reason that Gillespie House gets great reviews. Everything about it is excellent. Its a charming building, full of character, and completely spotless with regards to cleanliness. But I could say that about several places i have been. But what makes it really very special are the charming couple that run it. The home-made breakfasts are also treat. Parrsboro is a unique place and this is a unique Inn to stay in. I cant recommend it strongly enough.

Simply superb

Our bedroom was roomy, spotlessly clean, and had all the amenities we needed.  Our hosts were friendly and served a nutritious, fresh breakfast.  We were given great advice for dining and other activities in the area.

Beautiful grounds, charming building, a wonderful and real b&b experience.

A group of friends recently stayed a night at Gillespie House and although it was off-season we were treated to an amazing experience of gourmet food, yoga, craft beer and access to the entire Inn for our group! David and Lori were amazing hosts and paid attention to every detail - we received exceptional service and within arriving and getting settled into our rooms we all agreed that this needs to be a regular get-away. If you are looking to reconnect with friends or family in a relaxed and comfortable environment and yet be spoiled with delicious homemade food and the warm hospitality, Gillespie House will not disappoint. We will definitely be back and are looking forward to enjoying more of what Parssboro and area has to offer.
