Loved our stay at Cresthaven. We were immediately greeted by Warren and provided with all info about amenities, etc. Perfect view of the tides and very peaceful and relaxing. My only negative about our stay would be about the bar fridge in our room - it was rather noisy - but not bad enough from coming back!

Perfect location to watch to Fundy Bay tides roll in an out of the Shubenacadie River as the B&B and right on the shore of the river. Short drive to Burntcoat Park to view the extreme tides and walk on the ocean floor at low tide and also the B&B was close to tours/tidal bore rafting trips. Warren our host could not have been more helpful with suggestions of what to see and do in the area. The breakfast was awesome. Our bedroom & bathroom was roomy & the bed was comfortable. Highly recommend for a quiet and convenient location to see the sites.
