“We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your guesthouse.  The beds are very comfy and we slept well every night. Your standard for cleanliness is the very best, we could not have asked for better accommodations.
The breakfast each morning was served with a smile and we found it to be wholesome with a very good variety of choices, especially the condiments such as brown sauce.
If we are ever in Halifax again we will certainly stay at Kirk Lea Guest House.
Thanks again for your hospitality. Kindest regards” J and L Webb, Canada June 2011

Many Thanks” M. Dutton
