An excellent accommodation that is clean, quiet, affordable, close to the town of Parrsboro, and comes with a free delicious breakfast in the morning. The Queen bedroom includes a table and two chairs, a microwave, a mini fridge, a closet, and a seating area outside. Lots of outlets and USB ports available around the bed for charging your electronics. The wifi can be a bit spotty if youre not in the guest check in area, otherwise it is the best inn that I have stayed in Nova Scotia so far. Would highly recommend for a couples or friends getaway.

When you wake up in your very comfortable bed and look out the window you'll see why it's called the Sunshine Inn! The room we took was a king which was very clean and comfy, the breakfast which was included was delicious with gluten free options! Thanks for having us we loved our stay.

We stayed here and I recommend it. Lauren was so helpful with sightseeing recommendations and various other things. Nearby Cape Chignecto Provincial Park is fantastic and the Sunshine Inn was a great launchpad for us.

Comfy accommodations, handmade breakfast. Thank you! Sincerely appreciated the accommodations and care from the proprietors, who manage the place themselves, including making delicious breakfast in the morning. The name of the place calories their disposition. Also, good location just outside a quaint town and apx 45 minutes from Cape Chignecto Provincial Park. Thank you!

Lovely place to stay. Clean, well kept. Walking trail to the lake. Staff very easy to deal with. Breakfast has many choices, not premade. Delicious. Will definitely be returning. And yes there is a vast number of licence plates from all over the world.
