Altes Motel, schön renoviert. Jedes Zimmer anders, immer mit eigenem Balkon
Bei der Sicht aufs Wasser stört ein verlotterter und aus Sicherheitsgründen gesperrter Bootanlegesteg.
Dum nadherny, perfketni lokalita, primo u vody, v domecku vse potrebne.
Nezjistili jsme, ze nas dum je na jine adrese, nez je Marmalade Motel. Nekontrolovali jsme adresu z mailu s informacemi a jeli jsme hned na adresu z bookingu
Fantastic view and very clean with fresh decor
No form of cooling or fan. Bed too firm
Beautiful location, very friendly and helpful owners and staff.
La struttura è in una posizione comoda e tutte le camere hanno una vista splendida sulla baia
La nostra camera, la numero 7, non aveva le te de oscuranti in nessuna delle due finestre. Non essendoci personale in hotel, non abbiamo potuto chiedere supporto
Les chambres étaient belle et propre, jolie vue. La salle de bain et bien équipée. Proche des randonnées
Isolation phonique moyenne
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. Le personnel sur place a été vraiment très gentil, accueillant et attentionné. La chambre était très propre et agréable.
Tolle Lage.
Spärliche Ausstattung für Selbstversorgung Frühstück und Abendbrot)
Tout était parfait,décoration exceptionnelle,emplacement ,petite douceur sur l’oreiller.proprios ont de quoi à être fier de leur emplacement
Rien
The place was nice and quiet and clean. In the middle of nowhere--but worked out fine for us.
Definitely a motel like feel---but place was clean and comfortable.
L’emplacement, la déco, le service

Clean and nicely renovated
Road noise and small bed and no insulation between rooms .
Location
Beautiful view, comfortable accommodations, and very attentive staff. I reached out for help after hours and was immediately taken care of. Great recommendations for places to see and experience in the area.
We were in the one room that still needs the upgrade to black out curtains. I was told they are on their way. It was not a big deal.
Rooms were clean and the decor was modern and lovely. The bathroom was pristine. Breakfast was great!
There was a clinking sound when a neighboring room used the shower, but it only lasted as long as the shower
Clean and comfortable staff was great and helpful would stay again if in the area
Ein tolles Motel, direkt am Meer! Nette Begrüssung! Nicht mit gewöhnlichen „Motels“ zu vergleichen
Nichts
Amazing view, very clean room
pas de petit déjeuner hors saison
dommage que le restaurant le plus proche soit à 15 minutes de voiture
Modern look
Price, thin curtains, no staff.
Very clean and well designed.
No staff there, though they communicated promptly.
The room was beautiful and we loved the view from our balcony. The only thing missing is a restaurant, at least for breakfast.
Close to a village with amenities View (deck) Nice big room Comfortable bed
Squeaky bed No room darkening window covers
Personal touch in decorating the suites.
Room requires more outlets as per electrical code.
Lovely little motel with a great view; room was clean and well maintained.
Clean room, great view.
Geräumige, moderne Lodge mit eigenem Balkon und wunderbarem Ausblick. Bequemes Bett, Kühlschrank, relativ großes Bad, unkomplizierter Check-in ohne Personal
Keine Kochmöglichkeit, aber auch kein Lokal in unmittelbarer Nähe. Relativ nahe an einer Durchzugsstraße, was der Ruhe etwas abträglich ist.
La chambre était bien décoré avec goût.
Le prix était trop élevé pour ce motel bien ordinaire. Il n'y avait pas de micro-onde.
Ein sehr schönes, helles, sauberes Zimmer. Sehr zu empfehlen. Vielen Dank.
Schade ist dass man ein Stück fahren muss zum essen…Aber es gibt ein kleines Cafe und leckere Restaurants in ca.12 km Entfernung. Wir haben lecker gegessen.
Digitaler Check-in einfach und gut kommuniziert, aber uns zu unpersönlich. Zimmer sehr schön eingerichtet.
Auf einem Trip durch Nova Scotia haben wir in diesem Motel übernachtet. Die View auf die Einbuchtung des Atlantik ist grandios. Es herscht absolute Ruhe. Für eine Nacht ein absolut empfehlenswertes Erlebnis.
Needs a small table in the unit.
Comfortable, bright and well furnished room,nice view, easy access and parking
Nothing
Modern, convenient, and quiet
Efficient check-in with email of lock combo. Room and bed were good, but the "beach" was disappointing, and neighbors were too loud to enjoy sitting on our porch. No food within walking distance or breakfast available. However, the cleaning staff were friendly and helpful.
Sehr helles, geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Zimmer. Hübsche Lage mit Meeresblick. Großzügige Umgebung mit Grillplatz, Meetingraum etc.
Voluminous, healthy, great blueberry muffin and croissant.
not quite enough hanging space. Perhaps the two hooks in the entry could come out a bit to accommodate more hangers.
This motel was fantastic. We were only there for 1 night and didn't arrive until the evening, but it was a great place to rest our head. It felt modern, quirky and clean, the amenities were great. Loved the addition of a balcony with fabulous views of the water, as well as the cute swing. The bathroom was really lovely, and the beds comfy. Very quick response to my message when we arrived. Overall a great stay and would 100% recommend.
zimmerausstattung
eine flasche wasser im zimmer wäre kein luxus…
We loved the decor and modern update to the room and bathroom. The mattress was very comfortable and the sheets were amazing! Love the view!
The hot tub location could use a little work. It would be nice to see the ocean while in the hot tub.
The cleanliness and decor of the rooms, the breathtaking view, and the care and appreciation of the staff and owners
Access to restaurants are minimal
Room was comfortable and modern. Contactless key entry was convenient .
We picked this hotel mainly for the additional facilities - my husband and son were keen to fish off the jetty but this was closed off as seemingly needed repairs to make it safe. Also the hot tub was pictured having views of the sea but it’s actually located at the edge of the motel surrounded by timber fencing - not the relaxing views we were expecting. Light sleepers also be aware as the curtains in our room were white so although provided privacy, did little to keep out the sunlight.
Great communication before our stay. Ease of check in/out.
The coffee machine set-up. Just give us a kettle!!
Die neun Zimmer sind alle neu renoviert. Es sind übliche Motelzimmer mit guten Betten und guten Schallschutz zum Nachbarn. Die Lage ist OK mit schöner Aussicht auf´s Meer. Was man wissen muss und uns durchaus bewusst war: Es gibt kein Frühstück und der Zugang ist kontaktlos (deshalb keine Bewertung für´s Personal). Zimmernummer und Türcode werden über die Seite von booking übermittelt. Wenn sie das erst vor Ort abfragen, brauchen sie einen Netzzugang. Bei der Abreise war der (vermutlich) Besitzer an der Rezeption. Ein freundliches "Auf Wiedersehn" und "Gute Reise" haben wird dann doch noch bekommen. 😊 Die Gegend ist noch nicht so touristisch erschlossen wie andere Hotspots in Nova Scotia. Als eher ruhig mit viel Natur.
Infrastruktur für Touristen ist in unmittelbarer Umbegbung nicht vorhanden. Es wird kein Frühstück angeboten. Im Marmalade Cafe in ca. 12 Minuten Fahrdistanz, das mit dem Motel verbunden scheint, gibts ein hervorragendes Frühstück. Auch fürs nächste Restaurant ist mit ca 12-15 Miuten Fahrzeit zu rechnen. Wenn´s nur irgenwo auf dem weitläufigen Gelände ein Plätzchen für Raucher gäbe, wäre das vielleicht ganz nett. So liegen die Zigarettenstummel eben vor der Tür im Kies. (Anm: ich bin Nichtraucher).
Super clean, cute spot
Very squeaky bed
Très joli motel flambant neuf et très bien équipé
Wonderful spot!
It was really warm in the room when we got there. But the host was there in short order with a fan, saved our night.
The Marmalade has really done a lot to make, what could be a humble motel, a special stay. The hot tub was great, views from the balcony wonderful, the overall atmosphere was peaceful. We loved the decor of the No Drama Llama!
Guests should know there is nothing within walking distance in terms of food. The Marmalade Cafe is actually in Sheet Harbour which is a 10 - 15 minute drive. if you don't want to go back out for dinner and drive into the next town, it's a good idea to bring something to enjoy on the balcony. There is a fridge and amenities so making a casual dinner or grabbing take in gives you more time to enjoy the view.
Très belle chambre, lit confortable, belle décoration, belle vue et un bon déjeuner.
Pas beaucoup d’attractions au alentours mais je n’es pas grand chose à dire de négatif sur ce motel.
Excellent ocean view.
It was a lovely spot. Will come back with my husband.
The Marmalade Motel is in a gorgeous location with rooms looking across the bay and a lovely deck per room to enjoy the views from outside. The room has all you could need, with fridge, coffee machine, tea bags, and is well sized. The bed is nice though quite squeaky. For exploring the east coast of Nova Scotia it's a great spot. Would stay here again.
Room was beautiful, comfortable and he view amazing.
Réception chaleureuse
rien
Stayed July25-27. Great spot to get away. I highly recommend the Marmalade Cafe and Bakery in town!
Rooms were nicely decorated clean comfortable bed
There was a coffee maker in the room with coffee pods snd tea bags but no other supplies. The necessities to make a sandwich or toast a bagel would have been helpful.
Check in was seamless! Our room was beautifully decorated, spotless & comfortable!! We enjoyed sitting outside and walking the property to the water. We enjoyed dinner at a nearby restaurant and the locals were friendly and spoke well of the hotel owners. We never met them, but commend them on a beautifully ran business. We’d definitely stay again whenever in the area!
Schaukel vor der Haustür und Whirlpool, Aussicht
Great views and cool property
Very nice and clean Motel. We liked the room design very much and the balcony with sea view.
nothing!
I liked their friendly staff, clean rooms, and great view.

Das Marmelade Motel ist ein ganz besonderer Ort – mit so viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet und einer Atmosphäre, die sofort zum Wohlfühlen einlädt. Die Lage direkt am Wasser ist traumhaft schön, perfekt zum Entspannen und Abschalten. Die Zimmer sind individuell, stilvoll und mit viel Charme eingerichtet – man merkt einfach, dass hier Herzblut drinsteckt. Das Gastgeberteam ist unglaublich herzlich, hilfsbereit und engagiert – man fühlt sich eher wie bei Freunden als in einem Hotel. Ich kann das Marmelade Motel absolut weiterempfehlen – wer Ruhe, Natur und liebevolle Gastfreundschaft sucht, ist hier genau richtig.
Beautifully designed room, stunning view, very comfortable bed
Side building on grounds under construction
Very clean character room with an amazing view of the ocean.
There could be more hangers and shelving.
Great views. Limited dining options and staff on site
Great position on waterfront - nicely renovated and very friendly owners
Have to drive 15mins for dining
Themed rooms, nice balcony with great view. High recommended.
Nicely decorated rooms
It was not as good as the photos suggested. The dick was unusable. The hot tub behind a fence
