About Brier Island Lodge

Brier Island Lodge offers a mixed experience that shows great potential. The restaurant boasts a wonderful view, and while some meals can be mediocre, many dishes, like the poached lobster and scallop dinner, stand out as fresh and well-presented. Guests have enjoyed great fish and chips and a very good hamburger, although the fish chowder has received some criticism for being mostly potatoes and watery. The lodge provides clean and comfortable rooms with unique amenities, such as a fan over the door. Visitors appreciate the quiet atmosphere and the kind and helpful service at both the front desk and restaurant, although some have noted that the restaurant service can be slow.

Guests have noted the opportunity for a 'bucket list' whale-watching trip, adding value to the visit. The lodge also offers access to nature trails, including a 0.75-mile path to Seal Cove and a gravel road to the Great Passage Light House. Overall, Brier Island Lodge combines a pleasant dining experience with unique amenities, making it a worthwhile destination and a convenient stopover for those heading out on whale tours.
