Beautifully renovated Victorian house. Curated spaces throughout for sitting, lounging, listening to music, reading or playing a board game. Coffee and snack stations including ice cream sandwiches in the second floor refrigerator!! Breakfast was fresh, homemade and plentiful. Walkable to town for craft beer and delicious eats!!! Fantastic place.

Comfiest bed of our stay so far! Great location close to the main street in town. Loved the complimentary snacks, including chips and ice cream sandwiches, as well as the light continental breakfast. A very beautiful property, inside and out. No TV in the room but for a one night stay it's really not an issue.

This was quite possibly the best place I’ve ever stayed on vacation ever. The rooms were clean, the bed was comfortable, the breakfast was amazing, and the staff that we met were wonderful. The whole house was just beautiful. If and when we make it back to Nova Scotia, I’d really like to come here again!

We had a wonderful stay at this unique boutique hotel. The property was exceptionally clean, and our room was beautifully designed, comfortable, and well-maintained. The attention to detail throughout the hotel made it feel special and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and relaxing experience

I can’t say enough positive things about the August House. First the main building is from the 1860’s and it both maintains the character of the place but was tastefully updated during COVID when converted to a hotel. The is no reception, when we checked messages via Expedia had not come through fortunately the local staff had sent me enough info I could contact them directly and they were lightning fast with responses. There are a couple beautiful sitting areas in the main drawing room and on the third floor. In the second floor kitchenette, free ice cream sandos (nice use of hockey slang in keeping with Windsors hockey history or someone loves Shoresy.) Great king bed, lovely bathroom all very clean. Mellisa on staff that day laid out a beautiful breakfast and specifically catered to my wife gluten free diet.She also shared the history of the building and the preservation of stained glass windows from a local church. As well they have thoughtful amenities, umbrellas, and snacks set out in addition to 2 fire pits and private saunas, if we had known what this place was like in advance we would have stayed longer to fully enjoy it.

We had such an excellent experience at the August House, we didn't want to leave. The House is gorgeous, and the rooms are comfortable and beautifully decorated. You can tell a lot of heart, soul, and thought went into making every detail perfect. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were all so kind and happy to chat with us. We would definitely recommend The August House, it's a gem!

What a hidden gem !!! This property is filled with surprises. We enjoyed sitting in the front living room after dinner in town. We had a glass of wine listening to Cat Stevens on the record player then snuck an ice cream sandwich from the freezer upstairs. Our room was stunning and filled with interesting details such as power set up for all our electronics, sound machine for sleep, comfortable bed, hot shower. Woke to breakfast in the hidden surprise of a dining hall. Perfect selection of foods ,hot coffee and pleasant chat with other guests...newcomers to Canada from Scotland. Drove away wishing we were staying longer.

Every thing was clean, tidy and organized, there’s heat pumps in the rooms with easily accessible controls. They left a sweet note on check in and check in and check out was a breeze! We missed breakfast due to a tight schedule and the hosts offered breakfast parfait’s to go. I’m extremely happy with my stay and will stay again
