Worst place ever.
Worst room ever stayed in. Bed was only 12 inches off the floor and very tiny room. We are seniors, and this was not good. Very spartan room. No chairs or table. Breakfast was terrible. I do not consider breakfast a cupcake, granola bar, and apple. Not for that kind of money. We asked for a top sheet for below the comforter, and they said no. Never even saw the people running the place. Parking was terrible as they also run a restaurant and so no reserved parking for us. I had to email them to get our breakfast and they sent our Sunday and Monday breakfast on Saturday afternoon. Nice and fresh, yeah, right. My son lives fown the road from this place which would be convenient for us, but never will i set foot in that place. You should be ashamed of yourselves for even having them on your website.

Our room was clean. We received instructions on how to access the facilities by email. We had no contact with staff. Breakfast consisted of an apple, muffin, granola bar and cookie and a bottle of water (left in our room). The room is located above a very popular restaurant and we could hear noise from below and room above.

The Fletcher room was modern, beautifully decorated, and well thought out with access to a balcony and views of the lake. It was quiet even with a busy restaurant below. Check in super easy with an email you receive access to the outside door and the room. Breakfast-light continental set up in your room with coffee and tea available in a sitting room setup or on the balcony. The room just needs a small garbage can in the bathroom.

Simple Decent Place
One night stay was perfect for our access to the airport and cross province highway. Place is basic but had a clean room and bathroom. Good parking, clear directions. Room could use a couple of luggage racks.

This was such a great place to stay. We were in the Thomas room so very spacious! The shared space was small but not many were there when we stayed. The upstairs balcony needs some work but the downstairs one was great. This is not a bed and breakfast however! There was some snacks but not a breakfast! Otherwise this was so perfect!

If you want to be able to give the best review ever, then we highly recommend The Fourth Lock. First and foremost, the owner and staff are simply amazing. To say they care abut their guests doesnt do them justice. They went above and beyond our expectations. As for the view, its simply beautiful and peaceful. The rooms are clean and spacious enough for us. If your idea of a bed and breakfast is everyone seated at a table for dinner or shared bathrooms, this is not that B&B. There is a full bar and restaurant on site. The menu has everything you could ask for; with an emphasis on seafood. The fish and chips are delicious, the scallops were out of this world and the nachos would rival any that we get in Texas. The deck is perfect to sit, read a book or simply look across at the magnificent lake. It is approximately 12 minutes to the airport, 15 or so to Sackville and maybe 25 to downtown Halifax. If you are local and just want a few days away from the daily grind, highly recommended as well. This will be our go to every time we are near the Halifax area. And in case we haven't stressed it enough, the owner, the chef and the waitstaff are top notch.
