This was such a beautiful place to stay. We came for a family reunion and many family members stayed in this B&B together. We would all gather for a delicious breakfast, sit out on the veranda and look at the ocean. Breath taking view. The rooms were so cozy, clean, and had names for each one. We spent lots of... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Vespers By the Sea. Joyce was a great host, very welcoming. The house was amazing, like stepping back in time. One morning we woke to a thick fog coming from the Atlantic, priceless. The view is jaw-dropping at sunset. The rooms were clean, comfortable and charming.

Great rooms with comfortable firm beds and an extremely well decorated interior. The house has been well renovated and maintained and as well as 360 degree wonderful outdoor decks to enjoy the sea views, the interior is photography worthy in itself with its polished wood and antique themed decor. Our wedding group stayed here and it was well worth it.... More

This huge B&B, a former convent, is charming and beautiful, with great view of the Atlantic Ocean. The rooms are comfortable and quiet, although I did miss having a TV in our room at night. Aside from that, it was very nice. The breakfasts are wonderful, with homemade items by Joyce, including homemade jams. We did end up cutting out... More

Another perfect "home away from home". Such a lovely spot overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. From our second floor balcony we enjoyed a beautiful sunset in the evening and watched the fishing boats off the coast in the morning. Very peaceful and serene. Joyce is a perfect hostess and is quick to point out areas of interest in Glace Bay. Wished... More

Upon arrival to this beautiful location, we were greeted by Joyce, the general manager. She showed us to our rooms and apologized that she was in a bit of a hurry as she had plans in the evening. She was going to see actors from her favorite show Coronation Street! She was so excited, she could hardly wait. The former... More

We had a great experience at this former convent, now a lovely and well-run B&B. Our large room, on the top floor, had its own ocean-facing balcony from which we watched a stunning sunset. The decor was dignified and historic. Proprietress Joyce was truly friendly and helpful, and provided a nourishing breakfast with homemade items nicely laid out in a... More

The owner was very welcoming and the room was comfortable and the rates are reasonable. You can not get any closer to the sea the property being 50 yards from the cliff edge. To see the sunset on the veranda with a glass of wine was one of the highlights of the visit of our holiday Not far from the... More
