"After spending 4 rainy nights tent camping on the Cabot Trail, St. Ann’s was a ray of sunshine! Our room was comfortable and had everything we needed. The view was fabulous, the shower amazingly hot, and the bed super comfy. I got the best night’s sleep EVER! Tina and Vince were so friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home (and our dog loved it too). We highly recommend St. Ann’s and hope to return."
