We are proud of them all, but particularly proud of the Hillsdale House Inn in having received its second national TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award — the only one east of Niagara-on-the Lake Ontario to do so.

First we dared to go inside the Haunted House at the Sinclair Inn where we encountered a number of spirits from the past and wondered for a while if we would ever be able to return to present day. This was very well done and even provided a little ghostly historic education from previous times in our area.<a href="http://hillsdalehouseinn.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/imagescaalsopr.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-402" title="Pumpkin" src="http://hillsdalehouseinn.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/imagescaalsopr.jpg" alt="" width="207" height="155" /></a><br/><br/>From the haunted house we went on to Goblets & Goblins at the <a title="Historic Gardens Website" href="http://www.historicgardens.com/" target="_blank">Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens</a>. Under the cloak of darkness the gardens provided an excellent venue for Halloween tricks and treats. The decorations throughout the gardens were great, including a carved pumpkin bonfire. The fire was burning in the Acadian cottage and there were a number of samples fresh out of the wood oven. We also took in a ghost story provided by non other than our own Mayor Phil Roberts, who was wearing his horns.<br/><br/>No doubt this is going to become an annual offering, so you should put it in the calendar for next year, and plan to include a night at the <a title="Hillsdale House Inn website" href="http://www.hillsdalehouseinn.ca" target="_blank">Hillsdale House Inn</a> of course.Hillsdale House Innhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14578208460993484624noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508223263823112720.post-54374635345469293942010-10-24T07:55:00.000-03:002013-07-26T13:34:14.135-03:00Home Routes 'Maritime Circuit' Visits Hillsdale House Inn<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.homeroutes.ca"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-390" title="Home Routes Masthead 600 x 200" src="http://hillsdalehouseinn.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/home-routes-masthead-600-x-200.gif?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="76" /></a>Val & I are very excited to be a part of introducing to you the Home Routes 'Maritime Circuit'.
