Blomidon Inn was our home base during our ‘Taste of the Annapolis Valley’ tour. The property dates from the late 1800s. Built by shipping magnate Rufus Burgess in the style of an English Country manor house, it fairly oozes Victoriana. Not to mention the finely crafted model ships dotted throughout. My room off the second floor landing was, appropriately, the Captain Burgess suite, a Wedgewood blue room with a 4-poster bed so high that I almost needed a running jump to get into it each night.
