Not only is the location convenient, it is also scenic . With one of the hundreds of apple orchards in this part of the world as its back drop and namesake, the Old Orchard Inn provides wonderful views from right on the property, and is only minutes away from some of the most eye pleasing locations in the province. Cape Blomidon is a rugged ghost on the horizon from the Inn's Northwest face, and the renowned Valley lookoff awaits 20 minutes up the road. W olfville itself is a bustling community with Acadia University at its heart. During school season the village swells with academics, in Summer the scholarly influence is felt in such artistic pursuits as the acclaimed Atlantic Theatre Festival and a vibrant local craft scene.
Winter is still a wonderful time of the year here.
Apple trees, once blossoming with the vibrant colour of life , now become a canvas for mother nature's elaborate ice sculptures. Then of course, there's the snow, far too little of it this year for the regions skiers. But whenever the white stuff drops, the Old Orchard is a perfect headquarters for apres-ski activity. Martock ski hill is only 20 minutes away, and the Inn's grounds lead to 20 kilometers of cross country trails. There's even ski rentals and instructions on site.
