Smith's Cove Beach

Hedley House

Smiths Cove

We stayed here during our road trip through NS. Patrick was a really kind and helpful host. He was so nice to deal with. The motel is on a private beach and we really enjoyed this. My son had many adventures. Our back deck had a lovely view of the ocean. The beds were extremely comfortable and the AC kept the room
cool. Sound was good - you could not hear anyone in the next rooms. I loved the vintage attributes of the room. I feel like there must be so much history and stories in this hotel. What a gem! We will be back on our next trip . Thank you Patrick

Small but mighty lovely hotel

This is an older motel, but the location makes up for a lot.  The room was spacious enough, a bit musty, but the view of the bay out on the back patio was fantastic!  Breakfast is continental, but lots of fresh fruit and coffee.  Joanne is fantastic!

Lovely location, great service

Our hostess, Joanna was amazing. She was extremely warm and inviting and immediately the moment you arrived. 
She bakes the most delicious muffins for the continental breakfast and we were privilege to have her sing a few songs for us as we had our breakfast. She has an amazing voice and we told her she should be touring rather than working behind a desk and serving breakfast to people. LOL

It’s certainly a place I’ll consider staying again. Nothing fancy however the hospitality provided was exceptional and made us feel at home.

It was great to be able to walk on the shoreline when the tide was out and collect some shells, rocks and even some sea glass.

Amazing Hostess

This property was once beautiful and had a reputation for fine food. Sadly, it has changed ownership and the owner is not on site. The motel units overlook the spectacular Annapolis Basin and each unit has a deck overlooking the water. The units and the whole property have been neglected and are in poor repair. It's a shame! It is overpriced given the state of the property.

On a positive note, the bed was comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was good and breakfast is included.

Location, location, location...and nothing else!

This is not worth your money or time. We ended up not staying after checking in. The room was very out dated with a smell I could not accept.
Don't be fooled of the pictures you will find online. The lawn was outgrown and not trimmed. 
Both mirrors in the room were dirty and that was enough for me to lock the door behind me and drove away. Not worth the money and time.

Don't do it

Stayed two nights on the recommendation of friends. From my conversation with Joanne on the phone, and then Albert when I had to call to rebook for another weekend, I knew we would be meeting the friendliest folks. Everyone that worked there was very friendly.  Room was cozy, beds were comfy, private deck was big with a great view. Plenty of coffee in the room.  I drink my coffee black with no sugar but Joanne also provided sugar.  Those chain places give you a few k cups but no shortage of coffee here.  Easy beach access. When the tide is out, a person could walk across to the campground on the other side. BBQs on site with tools, tables and lighters at the ready.  Fire pit. We could park close to the room, which was nice.  Joanne made sure no one went hungry at breakfast. When I told her my older son was back at the room with our little dog, she wrapped up a big plate of fruit to take back to him, along with one of her delicious homemade muffins. It's nice sitting at the main house chatting with the other guests.  We are very pleased to have stayed at Hedley House By the Sea. Hope to see you again in the future.

Thanks for a great stay

Very nice stay. An older motel but very quaint for sure. Feels like staying at Grandmas cottage. Nice old birch hardwood floors. Beds very comfortable , I mean really comfortable.Small bathroom but Good shower with lots of hot water And good pressure. Great view of beach from small private deck. Owners are super nice and friendly. Beautiful grounds. Basic continental breakfast.Pet friendly .

Motel that feels like a cottage

I called them to let them know that I was coming but extremely late.  They told me not to worry.
They told me they will leave key in room so I can get in when I arrived.
They gave us a double room for same price to be more comfortable,we were 4 people.
Owner extremely charming.
Staff extremely friendly.
Room very extremely clean and the view was absolutely amazing.
Breakfast was good.
Owner even signed for us during breakfast..  Amazing 
We definitely come back.

Awesome !!!

We stayed here one night and were surprised at how well equipped the room was. The chefs thought of many room details, such as wine glasses (made of glass), lanterns for the terrace, corkscrews, etc. Also, each terrace had its own birdhouse. You had a beautiful view of the sandy beach of the bay. Unfortunately we couldn't get there. The outbreakers of Hurricane Dorian prevented us from doing so. Breakfast was good with self-baked blueberry muffins and the chef also played and sang on the guitar. They talked to all the guests and gave each a tip for sighting. The buildings are all clean and tidy. Maybe the modern owners didn't have to disturb us a little bit in the first place - but no one.

Warm head

Joanne was amazing with singing her Nova Scotia songs for us at breakfast 
The rooms are out of date and could use some tender loving care, but overall each room had a balcony with a wonderful view of the bay.
Excellent place to stay while visiting Digby, very close for the ferry to Saint John and close to the Digby point road to go to Brier Island for whale watching
