This elegant home was built in 1923 for Dr. Frank "Pa" Wheelock, Provost at Acadia University. The Wheelock family lived here for some 30 years before selling to Freda and David Davison in 1954. Dr. Davison was a family doctor in Wolfville for many years and assisted in the delivery and growth of the population of this small town. The Davisons were much loved and highly respected by the folks of Wolfville and even to this day the property is mostly referred to as 'Dr. Davison's House' by the local community.

We bought the house from the Davison Estate in December of 1996 with the intention of converting it into a bed and breakfast some day. The 'some day' came sooner than we envisioned. We sold our small semi-detached home of 25 years in North Toronto in the Spring of 1998. Peter left his position as project manager with a well-known architectural firm after working with them for over 26 years and Frances pulled out of administration in the educational field.

In the Fall of 1998, we started with the very extensive renovations and upgrades. To meet the expectations of today's travellers we added a new wing to the east side of the house to provide all guest rooms with private bathrooms. We used traditional construction methods and materials to make the addition blend in well with the original structure. At the same time, we upgraded the heating, plumbing and electrical systems in the entire house. All the rooms have been freshly decorated to give an atmosphere of warmth and comfort.

By early Summer 1999, Harwood House Bed & Breakfast complete with a new exterior colour scheme opened for business.

Harwood House Bed & Breakfast is conveniently located off Main Street , Wolfville adjacent to Acadia University. We are a short walk away from superb dining and specialty shops in town.

Come and enjoy a crisp winter week in this beautiful and cozy B&B. Take in a day of skiing at Martock, followed by a first-class dinner in town. Please call and ask about our off-season rates.

The gracious Dining Room overlooks the peaceful setting of gardens surrounded by lilacs. How about starting your day with one of Peter's amazing fruit salads, followed by a delicious hot breakfast.

Finally, the bright and sunny Living Room greets you with warmth and comfort. Relax by the log fire or sit back and enjoy the beautiful gardens in the summer on our patio. CBTV and DVD are provided for your enjoyment.
