The place has a very distinct character. There’s nothing fancy about it (very rustic), but it’s clean, everything works as it should, and the staff is very helpful indeed. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Staff was a highlight - great help and very friendly. The views - highlands cows, sunset, and a firepit to watch the stars. Our cabin came with a sunroom with a day bed and porch swing. On-site restaraunt was delicious! Thanks Dave and Jack. Highly recommend this stay.

Arriving at the Normaway Inn in the dark, we were greeted by the owner in the driveway and invited to their quaint barn to hear a talented fiddler. We didn’t stay long as we were tired, but our stay was comfortable yet short. Our cottage was homey and cute. Had everything we needed. We appreciated the hospitality and good nights rest.

We only stayed one night but it was an excellent experience. All the staff were extremely kind and helpful. The property is lovely and the cabin itself was clean and cozy. We had our dog with us and so it was nice to be able to walk the grounds with her. We were booked in for dinner with our reservation and had a yummy meal with excellent service. I would definitely stay again.

Very cute little rustic cabins. No tvs which was awesome. Beautiful scenery with horses, some cows and even a donkey. A property with tons of character, a little off the path but well worth the drive. Thanks Dave and son đź‘Ť

Normaway Inn offers a peaceful and unique countryside experience, far away from the noise and crowds. The property is surrounded by beautiful rural scenery, and the quiet atmosphere made our stay feel especially relaxing. One of the highlights was spending the evening around the fire, which created a warm and memorable experience. The room was generally comfortable, although I think a little more attention to some housekeeping details would make the stay even better. Overall, it is a lovely choice for anyone looking for a calm, rustic escape in a beautiful natural setting.

The property has great potential but is in a bit of disrepair. The cottages are cozy but in need of some updates, specifically the bathroom. The beds need to be replaced as they were very uncomfortable. Enjoyed seeing the farm animals. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed due to kitchen issues. The property owner and his daughter are good, kind people and very friendly. If you are looking for something rustic with comforts of running water, showers and plumbing in a country setting you may like this.

The cabin itself was lovely, very rustic. The location was perfect for my family to fish the Margaree River pools. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The cabin had cobwebs and quite dusty. The pullout bed was made but full of crumbs and dust bunnies. I believe it’s most likely from not being used and folded up inside the couch, if you have a hide a bed that doesn’t get used often you know. (Cleaning staff were great to deal with) The bathroom smelled musty All and all it wasn’t THAT bad. If a little more attention was given it could be a 10/10

The pictures are much nicer than reality. The animals are nice from a distance but dirty up close. They are well fed though. The house and the cabins are very musty smelling. They need new curtains and upholstery to get rid of that. The bones of the place are ok but it needs a really deep and extensive update. The food was good but not sure farm to table as described. Maybe we visited at the wrong time of year. If you’re a salmon fisherman and looking for bare essentials it will probably work fine. I’d stay in Beddeck next time.
