Friendly place, We recently stayed at the Claymore hotel in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The hospitality was warm, the accommodations were comfortable, and the charm of the town made our stay truly memorable. Antigonish is a beautiful place with a welcoming community — we look forward to coming back again!

I did not like the shampoo and conditioners bottles. Too hard to squeeze. But the room was great. It was clean. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great. And the people who worked there were very professional and nice.

Such a beautiful town, beautiful landscaping and gorgeous flowers everywhere, very clean, well maintained town. The University grounds are so gorgeous to walk through, as an Alumi, I was in Town for a wedding. The University has grown and its stunning to see the New Building and the Architecture ❤such a quant little Town.

Antigonish is a pretty little town with many interesting shops and good restaurants. Main Street is very walkable and parking is not a problem. Their library is a jewel in their crown. We visited to take in a play at Bauer Theatre - neat little theatre on the St. Francis Xavier university campus. Enjoyed it thoroughly. There is a great farmer's market on Saturdays with many tasty food stalls as well as works sold by local artisans. There are beautiful beaches within 30 minutes of the town. We could have easily stayed longer if our schedule had allowed.
