Seaside/harborside beauty! We loved the view from our room over the water and watching the tidal changes. Watching the ferry come and go like clockwork was fun. We loved the setting, the sweet dining room, the gazebo overlooking the bay where we had a glass of wine both evenings and takeout dinner. We didn't eat dinner in the dining room because of dietary restrictions and also because we were looking for something lighter, but we heard it was good!

No fault of the owners, but nearby construction made it necessary for bottled water to drink or brush teeth. We received 4 (10-12 oz) bottles to begin with, which ran out almost immediately. We had to keep going back for more. Hopefully, the project will be completed soon! We'd definitely return!

Loved everything! Starting with owner Linda, who was very accommodating and friendly with her engaging, joyful, and fun manner. We were in the Wild Flower Room. Beautiful! Big ceiling fan, king bed, fireplace, fridge, coffee maker, microwave, and many windows to open and smell the ocean. Large bathroom with tub and separate shower. We placed our dinner order before 3 pm and sharp at 6. we enjoyed Lobster Penne and Panfried Haddock with veggies...delicious! The dining room overlooks the bay. Enjoyed chatting with other guests. Went for a walk that evening and saw 4 deer. Inn is located a short walk from ferry, and walking the other way is a large beach to search for ocean treasures. We had just spent a beautiful night before at The Algonquin courtesy of our kids for our 40th anniversary, but we loved the Compass Rose Inn very much!

We wished we had booked for more than 1 night.😢

The location is excellent and so are the hosts, Linda and Kevin. We stayed in the Garden Room which had its own entrance from the side of the house. The breakfast that’s included with your stay was absolutely delicious! We both also enjoyed the pan fried haddock for dinner and loved every bite!

Due to the high humidity our room was a bit damp when we arrived. However, it was quickly resolved once Linda was notified. Bottled water was provided to us because of the construction that was going on next to their property, but it was only a precautionary measure taken by the owners to ensure our safety.

This property looks out onto the bay from the upstairs rooms and the diningroom. It is also about a 3 minute drive to the Ferry to the mainland. We really enjoyed visiting with both Linda and Kevin, the owners. The breakfast was wonderful. We were given the option to have dinner in the evening chosen from a fixed menu. We took the dinner option two of the four days we were there and really enjoyed it!

The room we were in for the first 3 days was a bit small and the bathroom was across the hall.

We loved our stay. A perfect location to explore the island. The Ebenezer room was very spacious and comfortable. Loved the view of the harbor from both the bed and the living room and deck. The deck had very comfortable chairs with cushions and tables. Full kitchen with large fridge and microwave and everything you need. The hostess was very nice and accommodating. A very nice breakfast was served in the morning to get your day started. Very peaceful and calm place. Pizza and store near by.

The free breakfast was amazing, The location and views were definitely worth recommending. The atmosphere was very friendly. I had booked the place for my parents who haven't travel much in Canada outside of Ontario and Quebec. Grand Manan Island's one of the best reviewed place was Compass Rose. According to my parents, it exceeded expectations. Hotel level service in a more intimate setting. The people, staff and environment was very friendly especially considering we are a different race from the population.

Honestly there were no complaints from my parents who were staying there. At least nothing that made a dent in the overall experience.

Breakfast was awesome. We couldn't have had better. The dinner was delightful. So popular that even if you stayed there you needed a reservation. The view from the dining room overlooked the bay. It was overcast when we were there but we enjoyed seeing the water below. Grand Manan Island was a total surprise. We enjoyed the ferry ride over and back. The Lighthouse, the Anchorage beach, the small towns along the coast. We went there to get to Machias Seal Island to see the puffins. A bucket list destination. We were surprised that Grand Manan Island had so many surprises such as Compass Rose Heritage Inn.

The weather could have been better. It was overcast most of the time there, but that can happen on an island off the coast of New Brunswick.

The Compass Rose Heritage Inn is where time stood still, but in a good way. The hotel has an authentic charm with an amazing view overlooking the water. Lots of outdoor areas to sit and relax. The room was clean with a very comfortable bed and we slept really well. Bathroom was tiny but the inn is restricted in space by the age of the building. We had dinner there twice, both times a tasty home cooked meal with delicious fresh bread. Breakfast was also lovely. Staff were very friendly and really made this place extra special! Would definitely return!

We stayed in the Garden Room for two nights. The accommodations were very nice: Everything was very clean and well-maintained, the bed was huge and very comfortable. There was a wonderful view from our windows, a private patio, and a nice lawn behind the hotel with Muskoka chairs for relaxing. The breakfasts were very good! Highly recommended!

We were placed in the Katy room at the Flagg Home next door to the Compass Rose. There were so many things that we liked about this room! First off, it wasn’t just a room. We had an entryway. We had a beautiful window that looked out onto the water. It was tastefully decorated too to the period in which the home was built. There were modern amenities too like the refrigerator and microwave to make the room comfortable for our century.

Everything was as it was described on the website. We have no complaints.
