3-star hotels in Digby
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Digby, Nova Scotia, gathered for travellers who want a base on the Bay of Fundy without giving up comfort. It covers inns, motels and suites from the town centre out to Whale Cove and Smiths Cove, with guest ratings from 3.8 to 5.0.
Staying in Digby
Digby sits on the western shore of Nova Scotia, at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, whose tides are the highest in the world. The town is known as the scallop capital of the world, and its restaurants lean on local seafood. The Digby Gut, a narrow channel where the tide rushes in and out, is close by, and whale watching, fishing and the ferry to Saint John, New Brunswick, all shape a stay here. Annapolis Royal, a historic town with gardens and a fort, is a short drive away.
Most of these hotels cluster in or near Digby town centre: Siesta Motel and Come From Away B&B Inn on Montague Row, Summers Country Inn and Lane's Privateer Inn near Warwick Street and Bristol Ave., Shoreline Suites and Digby Sailboat Suites on Water Street, and Coastal Inn Kingfisher on Warwick Street. Admiral Digby Inn on Shore Rd and The Harbourview Inn on Harbourview Road sit a little beyond the centre. Further out are Annapolis Royal Inn & Suites on Hwy #1, Hedley House Inn By The Sea at Smiths Cove, Whale Cove Inn and A Seafaring Maiden on Granville Road, and Mersey River Chalets, a nature retreat. The mix suits couples, families and short breaks, with pets allowed at several properties.
