The Pebble

I dont typically post reviews online, but Ill make an exception for The Pebble. This is the most charming place Ive ever stayed. Before even walking through the doors, my travel companions and I were greeted by our host, Liz, with genuine warmth and excitement. Liz and David were outstanding hosts. They were kind, attentive, knowledgeable and, most importantly, always ready to share a laugh. For two nights, I stayed in The Garretwhich is the top floor of the bed and breakfast. The beds were comfy, and the sitting area in our massive room was the perfect to place relax after long days of exploring Halifax. Now you cant have a B&B without breakfast. The breakfasts I had at The Pebble were restaurant quality. Seriously. Ill be dreaming of their poached peaches in yogurt for years to come. As a whole, The Pebble is stylish and immaculate. But Liz and David are what make The Pebble extraordinary. Stay here if you can. For the views, the warmth and the awesome people youll meet. Thank you Liz and David!

Our stay at The Pebble was lovely. Every aspect of our stay was characterized by intention, care, and excellence. Elizabeth is lovely - at every interaction she was helpful annd ensured we were listened to and felt valued. We particularly enjoyed the jetted tub and spa-like nature of the en suite bathroom. A heartwarming and relaxing getaway - hope to stay again.

Experience encompassing luxury and true Irish hospitality at this exquisite BnB! I've stayed at hotels, Air BnBs and boutique BnBs during my travels. While I have always enjoyed travelling to new places, my discriminating taste in lodgings, has often led to disappointment even in those hotels that are rated highly for luxury. The Pebble is simply the highest quality in a meticulously designed, carefully curated and impeccably maintained BnB experience. From the moment you walk through the lovely arched doorway, you feel your senses alight in the delicate fragrances of citrus, warm candle light and beautifully appointed dcor. The ultimate highlight is the warm welcome of the hosts - Liz and David. You are made to feel like family, greeted after your weary travels with enthusiasm and care. Careful consideration has been put into every aspect of guest experience, from how furniture and lighting are arranged, artful cabinetry, window treatments, multiple French doors leading out onto cozy nooks of the gorgeous grounds, heated floors, spa like baths, beautiful rooms with luxury linens, candles, artwork, plush robes and toiletries. Everything is thought through and everything is maintained so well day after day. Liz and David's effort to curate every aspect of a guest's experience meticulously, is evident in even the smallest details like the placement of candles, choice of cutlery, linens and books. While a picture might say a thousand words, no picture can truly communicate the breadth of the luxe experience of staying at the Pebble. And no place might ever come close to bringing Liz's unrivaled Irish hospitality.

A high end B&B with charming hosts (Liz and David) who hold themselves to a very high standard of hospitality. The rooms are lovely, recently renovated. Breakfast is very nice, customised if you have dietary restrictions. Liz is a very engaging hostess: draws you in and gets to know you intimately, which for us is a huge part of staying in a B&B (the getting-to-know-your-hosts part). Very lovely large house, view of the Bay and a well appointed sitting room to relax in. They have their liqueurs and port out for you to enjoy, extraordinarily generous. Liz also makes it clear that you can use her kitchen to brew tea, essentially her attitude is that it's your house as well. Full of advice of what to see in the city and where to eat. She can get you reservations at the good restaurants that tend to be booked up. We took her suggestion for 2 of our dinners during our 3 days (one in Halifax and one in Peggy's Cove) and were not disappointed. The third we did not (was an impromptu night out) and regretted it. The O'Carrolls have been in this house for 25 years and have clearly been constantly investing in it. Liz makes up the room every day (you'd be surprised at how few B&Bs still do this; we are B&B veterans and have stayed at dozens over the years in the US and Canada...) Would stay here again in a heartbeat. We stayed here 3 days (longest stay during our NS road trip) and no regrets.
