1 Best Hotel in Chester, South Shore and Annapolis Valley

Mecklenburgh Inn

$$ | 78 Queen St., Chester, NS, B0J 1J0, Canada

Nautical touches abound in this heritage B&B at the top of one of Chester's main streets. Shipwrights constructed the building, and its inviting double-decker porch is hung with signal flags. The bright rooms (all with private bath) are named for islands in Mahone Bay, and most have a sea view. Each has country-style antiques and beds with pillow-top mattresses, Frette linens, and local quilts. The innkeeper trained at Cordon Bleu, so breakfasts are sublime.

  • Claw-foot tubs in three rooms
  • The sailor innkeeper can arrange boating trips
