Three beautiful inns in New Brunswick

Traveling is a hectic business for us: we are constantly searching for the most beautiful photo opportunities, the most interesting video sequences, the most exciting sights and the most interesting people we can introduce to you. There is hardly any time to rest during the day. Therefore, the more important we are in the evening accommodation, where we can recover from the stress of the day, and where we feel comfortable in a pleasant room. So we like to stay in small inns, bed and breakfasts or hotels that offer something special: be it a beautiful environment, a particularly stylish interior or an excellent restaurant. We met three such accommodations on our last trip through New Brunswick.

Rossmount Inn in St Andrews-by-the-Sea

The Rossmount Inn in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea in western New Brunswick is a hotel where we feel very comfortable. It is situated a few kilometers outside of town on a gentle hill and offers wonderful views of Passamaquoddy Bay and Minister's Island offshore. The house is one of the historical buildings in the region and already looks back on a longer history as an inn. It has been run by a Swiss couple for a number of years, who have turned it into a real gem: furnished with furniture from a former luxury hotel in St. Johns, guests sleep on thick mattresses and, depending on the room, look out over the bay or the well-kept one Surroundings of the hotel. We conclude our evening at this hotel with a gourmet Canadian-style meal: fresh halibut with local root vegetables and a chocolate mousse that I can still taste on my tongue today.

The Tidal Watch Inn in St. Martins

Cozy is the Tidal Watch Inn in the small town of St. Martins west of the Fundy National Park. From here it is only a few miles to the beginning of the Fundy Trail, a very beautiful route along the cliffs on the north shore of the Bay of Fundy at New Brunswick. Our room reminds me with its antiques and the large bed with elaborate carving on the bedroom of my grandparents. Because there is thick fog outside, we are glad about the fireplace, whose warming (electric) fire makes us enjoy the stay in this room all the more. So even bad weather can be a pleasure.

Dinner Under the Watchful Eye of Queen Victoria © Copyright Monika Fuchs, TravelWorldOnline — Three beautiful inns in New Brunswick: dinner under the watchful eye of Queen Victoria

Pleasant is our dinner in the small restaurant of the inn. Our - unmistakably - from England coming Ober takes, without batting an eyelash, the wine glasses from the table, as we, still used to the beer pleasure from Newfoundland, a fresh beer order. He adds to this, perfectly formed, starter, main course and dessert, all of which are excellently prepared: seafood salad, lobster terrine and Digby shells and crème caramel. The muted conversation of the other guests ends soon as they pull back, and so we soon have the entire restaurant for a leisurely and restful evening for us.

The Maison Tait House in Shediac

The bathtub in our room at Maison Tait House in Shediac — Three beautiful Inns in New Brunswick: The bath in our room at Maison Tait House in Shediac

The undisputably best inn on our New Brunswick trip is the Maison Tait House in Shediac. As the bellboy, who helps us with the transport of our luggage, opens the door to our room, we catch our breath at the sight of our bedroom: a huge four-poster bed with light, white bed curtains occupies almost the entire room. In front of it are two elegant, white chairs in front of an open fireplace. And in a bay window at the window is a huge bathtub built, which looks very tempting after a day full of new impressions. Thankfully, there's plenty of time left before dinner to try them out!

The restaurant in the Maison Tait House is obviously very popular in Shediac, because there are always new guests coming out of town who have dressed up for food. There is clearly “fine dining” here, a meal in an elegant setting, even if it is a bit noisy. The guests at the other tables in the restaurant are having a good time. A table party from the mid-forties seems to be celebrating an anniversary. At the next table, an older gentleman leads a younger lady - a prankster who thinks bad things. And at the table opposite is a couple in their mid-fifties, who are obviously also celebrating an extraordinary event - the waiter is particularly concerned about the two. While we are waiting to place our dinner order, you can do some wonderful character studies here!

The bellhop, who took us to our room a few hours beforehand, has put on white gloves and explains to us with a wicked smile what is particularly recommended today: we choose mussels as a starter and are served a huge bowl of them that is enough for dinner . We end the day in this highly recommended hotel with a juicy steak and a light fruit salad.
