Bailey House Bed and Breakfast

This B&B has classic rooms, is tastefully and artistically decorated throughout and is meticulously maintained. The morning breakfasts featured cups of fresh fruit, homemade baking, juice, omelettes and tea or coffee. It is the only B&B in Annapolis Royal bordering on the water. Suzan, the owner/operator is a perfectionist. She helps with restaurant recommendations and reservations and does everything she can to ensure that her guests enjoy their stay in the Annapolis area. Well worth considering if you are staying in Annapolis.

Pictures and descriptions on the B&B's web site are accurate. Location is in a quiet area of Annapolis Royal, but no more than 5 minutes' walk to restaurants and shopping. All four guestrooms are on the second floor. Guest living room and dining room are on the first floor. Suzan has done a great job renovating the home while still maintaining its historic characteristics. There are a few quirks like slightly wavey flooring, but we appreciated these as well. Ensuite bathroom is completely up to modern standards. Two wonderful outdoor sitting areas. One across the street facing the Annapolis River and one in the garden behind the house. Breakfast will be one of the highlights of your stay. Definitely among the best I've been served at a B&B. Suzan is an accomplished chef. Ample parking behind the B&B. No lift. I agree with the four-star hotel class rating.

Our two night stay at The Bailey House was fabulous. Suzi couldn’t have been more welcoming. Even though we arrived quite early she greeted us warmly. You can’t miss the many pieces of whimsical art, often done by local artists. We were moved to the Joseph Totten room with a water view. It was very large; even with a king size bed there was room for two chairs by the windows, still leaving plenty of moving around space. Personally I loved the walk-in shower in the en suite bathroom; no climbing into a tub to have a shower. Other people have mentioned the food. Oh! The food! It was all so delicious and filling, set on gorgeous dishes in a beautiful period dining room. Suzi explained each dish, pointing out the local produce and jams. The breakfast set us up for a day of sightseeing. The Bailey House is in a great location in Annapolis Royal. It is right along the water, within walking distance of art galleries, museums, shops, and restaurants. When looking for accommodation here you can’t do better than The Bailey House - warm hospitality, beautiful bedrooms with comfy beds, whimsical artwork, and fabulous food.

I've never met a grouchier innkeeper. If you were a vegetarian, or didn't eat cheese, or didn't eat pork, like three people at our breakfast table were, you literally got an exasperated response. If you needed something minor like storing a few items of food in her fridge, and she acted like we shot Kennedy. I don't care for experiences like this, especially after sweating it out in a non AC room on a rare hot and humid night. We feel we vastly overpaid and won't be back.
