Property Description

Historic Inn, 132 Water Street

Offered at: $975,000 CDN

Located in the heart of St. Andrews' National Historic District, the inn is an exquisite example of the sea side town's Loyalist roots. Built in 1798 by Sea Captain David Mowat for his wife Mehitible and their ten children, the large Georgian house has evolved from home, hotel, stage coach stop and boarding house. The building was purchased by owners Jay Remer and Greg Cohane who, with the help of local craftsmen, have transformed it into one of Atlantic Canada's premier historical inns.

Each of the four master bedrooms and the two larger suites have private bathrooms which feature Italian marble and deep luxurious claw-foot tubs. Four of the rooms offer guests the cozy intimacy of wood-burning fireplaces and every room is appointed with fine regional antiques. The suites offer panoramic views of St. Andrews' harbour and guests have found the inn's beds to be among the most comfortable they have ever enjoyed. Highest-quality linens, soaps made exclusively for The Windsor House and thick, terry robes lend ease and elegance to every visit. Guests have the advantage of internet access from each room and the inn is completely non-smoking. Accommodation rates include a full, hot breakfast in one of the two fine dining rooms.

Soft, historic colors and rich fabrics compliment The Windsor House collection of 18th and 19th century antiques, paintings, etchings and engravings, including 62 repatriated water-colors by famed New Brunswick artist Anthony Flower. The Parlour Bar welcomes visitors for a cool drink in comfortable surroundings. The billiard room offers a quiet distraction after a full-day of discovering the surrounding area.
