Forest Haven Inn

Our inn keeper Dorim was very helpful and courteous taking my wife's luggage to our room. Our room was clean and spotless and we had a beautiful view of the water from our room. Our breakfasts were very good and varied. A perfect spot for visiting Ramea or Sandbanks Provincial Park.

I can only strongly suggest you book elsewhere. Our first red flag should have been the complete absence of other guests on a Friday in July. Our party was in compliance with the host's strict no scent request, but upon our arrival, she sniffed us deeply and declared that we were not welcome to stay. The host clearly doesn't want people on her premises. We found a delightful air bnb nearby and stayed there instead.

Very strange experience! This was booked several months ahead of time, for an annual weekend away. The day prior to our arrival, the owner called and explained that she scent allergies, asking to refrain from using 2 specific types of laundry. We agreed that wouldn't be an issue. Upon our arrival, she began sniffing the first of the group members as they entered. She said that we would have to leave because one of us smelled of something that triggered her allergies. She went on to say that she's allergic to all scents, despite only mentioning 2 specific detergents on the phone...just the day before! While the website does indicate scent free, it definitely does not cover the extent to which her guests need to accommodate. Definitely would not recommend! We ended up at a very lovely air bnb with a very lovely host not too far away!

Surprised by the higher ratings, this may be because value wise it is good value. However, this B&B is very dated in terms of decor. Bed was comfortable, breakfast was sufficient but despite some reference about smoke free and fragrance free, we have an owner who is incredibly sensitive to fragrances. I was asked about aftershave, which I never wear, and so of course said I don't wear any but deodorant in the morning is also an issue, of which I can only apologise. Please be mindful that your smell, from any perfume, deodorant, aftershave or even washing detergent may be an issue and therefore unless you are willing to be au natural for several hours beforehand, this may be an issue. I feel sorry that this is such a sensitivity but surprised they can operate their B&B in such a situation.
