Queen Anne Inn
Annapolis Royal
Annapolis Royal, named after Queen Anne, is an
historic town of splendid Victorian mansions nestled
between the Annapolis and Allain rivers. Originally
inhabited by a strong Mi’kmaq community, in 1605
the area was settled by some of the first Europeans:
it was controlled by France until peninsula Nova
Scotia was handed over to the British by the treaty
of Utrecht in 1713. Today there are substantial
remains of 18th century Fort Anne with lovely river
views. Other sights include the Bay of Fundy, just
ten kilometres away, the Historic Gardens, Port
Royal National Historic Site and the apple orchards
of the fertile Annapolis Valley.
QUEEN ANNE INN,
ANNAPOLIS ROYAL
The Queen Anne Inn is one of our favourite bed
and breakfast properties, located on the Evangeline
Trail in Annapolis Royal. The house was fully
restored in 1989 with beautifully crafted ash, oak,
and mahogany. The grand staircase takes you to
the well-appointed guest rooms, furnished with
period antiques. There are ten rooms in the main
inn and four rooms in the Carriage House located
directly behind. All rooms have air conditioning,
satellite television, custom-made feather beds and
some also have Jacuzzi baths. The Queen Anne is
famous for its three-course breakfasts and also
offers excellent fine dining in the evenings.

Wolfville
Wolfville lies on the edge of the Bay of Fundy

not miss Robie Tufts Nature Centre where, on
summer evenings, enormous flocks of chimney
swifts give amazing aerobatic performances before
swooping en masse to roost for the night. The
rugged nearby peninsulas of Capes Blomidon and
Split provide spectacular views and wonderful
coastal walking trails.
