Review by hotel critic
During my recent stay at the Marmalade Motel, I was pleasantly surprised by the delightful fusion of charm and comfort that this hidden gem offers. The meticulously appointed room, complete with a private bathroom and a gorgeous sea view, provided both a tranquil retreat and a cozy ambiance, perfect for unwinding after my long journey. The thoughtful amenities, like the flat-screen TV with streaming services and the complimentary continental breakfast, added to the overall warmth and hospitality of Cheryl and her team. As a wildlife conservationist, I appreciate places that embrace their natural surroundings, and the motel's proximity to the water and its serene garden made it an ideal spot for reflection and relaxation. Sharing a picnic on the deck at sunset was a wonderful experience, punctuated by the blissful quietude of the area—a perfect antidote to my busy work life. It's worth noting, however, that the location is quite remote, so it's wise to come prepared with supplies. My only suggestion would be a slight reconfiguration of the room layout to enhance the flow. The Marmalade Motel is a lovely stop for anyone seeking an authentic slice of Nova Scotia's natural beauty, especially if they're traveling with good friends or simply want to enjoy a peaceful getaway.
