Top River John Hotel Reviews

The Lionstone Inn Motel and Cottages

2/10 Terrible

"The room smelt musty and had mood in the bathroom. The shower curtain was only half the size it should have been. Beds were hard. Wouldn't stay here again if it was the only place left. The side of the road would be cleaner and more comfortable"

Seabank House Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. It is such an elegant home with a nice connection to Canadian history. It was expertly updated and is extremely comfortable. Elizabeth and Glenn were consummate hosts, with a warm welcome and delicious breakfast. Parking is easy, location excellent. We traveled to Pictou for a concert at the DeCoste Centre (also amazing and within walking distance) and Seabank House was obviously the right choice because the performer also stayed there. And be sure to visit Grohmann Knives just a but farther along Water Street. Thanks to our hosts. It was perfect."

Malagash Oceanside Vacation Home

10/10 Excellent

"Great house and property. It was the perfect size for a group getaway. The view was amazing. The property was large and well kept. The house was stocked with everything we needed. And the common areas were spacious to allow conversation and gathering. The spaces were clean and bright.The check in and check out process was great. And we were able to communicate with the host prior to the weekend when we had questions. Host was very responsive. Definitely would stay at this house again and would encourage others to check it out."

Luxury Ocean Front Beach House

8/10 Good

"The home is lovely and well appointed. Some of our guests would have liked drapes as the morning sun is bright.As we were there in the winter it would have been nice if the heat had been turned on prior to our arrival. And this would have made the homeowner aware of the heat not working in the lower wing. We tried without success.There was no dry wood available for the fireplace which would have been nice to have readily available.We also had a windstorm which pointed out that the French doors in the Master Suite (lower) were unlatched and we needed help getting them latched as it was an unusual method.All in all, we had fun. It was supposed to be a lazy vacation and would come again. The homeowner could step it up if the winter season is something he is serious about pursuing.A "house-book" available on the island may have been of assistance instead of contacting the owner or looking through every door/drawer.In the end he made it right, and we are all adults with a sense of humour and no harm was done."
