DesBarres Manor’s Top 10 Activities for a
Nova Scotia Winter Getaway

DesBarres Manor is the perfect location for a Nova Scotia winter getaway. Far from the crowds and the hustle of the city, DesBarres Manor takes you back to winters past with a range of winter activities that will help bring you back to life. Here are some of our winter favourites:

1. Curl up in front of the 19th century hearth fireplace with a good book or a glass of wine from the Manor cellar.
2. Sign out some cross country skis or snowshoes from the community recreation centre (for free) and get on the TransCanada Trail.
3. Open the tickle trunk and build a snowman to welcome guests to the Manor.
4. Savour Nova Scotia’s “gold nectar” at DesBarres Manor Inn’s annual Fire & Ice Dinner celebrating the Nova Scotia Winter Icewine Festival.
5. Play games in the Parlour Room cocktail bar. All your favourites await you.
6. Build a puzzle in the private dining room. Our collection is extensive so stay an extra night.
7. Find the constellation Orion in the night sky. It’s at its brightest.
8. Grab a sled from the Manor and go coasting on the Mussel Cove road. (That’s tobogganing in Chedabuctese!)
9. Or just relax in your luxurious guest room.
10. Whatever you choose to do on your winter getaway, DesBarres Manor will renew, rejuvenate and restore.
