Built as a wedding gift for the daughter of one of Sackville, New Brunswick's wealthiest families, the present day Marshlands Inn maintains the splendor of a bygone era. Furnished entirely in period antiques and local Piece D'arts, the Inn has blended today's amenities with yesterday's charm . S ome of the best The Marshlands has to offer is served up in one of its newest additions, the Dining Room - built in the 1970's. Here you can feast on their wonderful selection of beautifully prepared meals, many of whose recipes span generations . My bowl of Maritime traditional seafood chowder was hearty and devine .
Shellfish are also wonderfully prepared here.
The broiled scallops are served on an oyster half shell with a creamy white wine sauce and a lovely rice medley. Then it was story time. Innkeeper Peter Weedon spins a great yarn about the Inn's colourful past. In the 1930s it was called in to service as a guest house for the traveler and has remained so ever since. The Weedons have been the Inn's proprietors for 5 successful seasons now, after Peter decided to escape the rat race of his financial consulting company.
