Maison Tait House

Old family home turned into a B&B and restaurant. The rooms are lovely! The food was very nice with a good variety in the menu. Excellent service. They have stay and dine package deals as well. Downtown Shediac, within walking distance to the main part of town or to the Bay park with the famous giant lobster statue.

I was assaulted with a musty airless smell on arrival and a listless welcome. It appeared to be closing down with upturned tables and chairs and a filthy carpet leading upstairs. We learned that a staff party prevented the restaurant from opening so that was a disappointment. Even the bar was closed. Our room was a pleasant surprise with beautiful decor and immaculate restoration work. After 1/2 hour with the fan on the room was pleasant. Such a sin for a beautifully restored old building to not present better.

We stayed June 27-July 4. We loved it there. The owner,Julie was fantastic and Billy attended to our every need. Food was excellent. July 1 they had a concert in the beer garden featuring a Tragically Hip cover band called Bobcaygeon which we thoroughly enjoyed. My wife and I highly recommend the Tait house.

As I don’t get to the East coast of Canada very often, I decided to extend my business trip for a couple days. My client suggested Shediac and Tait Maison boutique hotel. I was not disappointed!! Despite being a couple weeks early, meaning before most tourism things open, everything was great. My room had a fabulous soaker tub and very comfortable bed where I slept well. The restaurant food was good for dinner, but note that in May no breakfast was served. They did recommend a great locals place that was good. I really wanted a lobster for dinner and even though it was not on their menu at this time, they brought one in fresh for me and the cook came out and showed me how to crack it open to eat it!! Such great service!! Also the live music on Thursday nigh was a nice touch.

The price was not the same has my reservation in july, but they change it, no problem.Very disapoiting on the cleaness of the room. The bed did not look clean , especialy the pillows. They had a bad smell.People were very loud until pass midnight on the first floor.The stairway going on the second floor was dirty. They should take off the carpet in the stair, not too clean. It really needs a lot of TLC, because it was years ago very beautiful and clean. We want be going there in the future. Also the outside does' not gave you a good impression .Beer cans on the ground and paper, the stairs could have been cleaner. It does not take very long to pick up and clean more.It's a shame to let a beautiful house like that go to wasted. There is a lack of management.

Host could clue in to french name of reservation ( and regular client). table of 5 placed in small room where live entertainer using PA system was way too loud for venue space ( he could have done well acoustic only). Food and service was decent. They did change our table between courses. Had more of a live tavern feel rather than a quiet place to have conversation with friends.

Rose and I booked Maison Tait House for a one night getaway dinner and they informed her that they had a dinner and stay package. The room was very nice, comfortable bed and lots of room. Dinner was fantastic and we also had a great waiter " Matt ". To top it off they had live music which was a real treat. We will definitely go back.

Nous nous sommes rendus à cet endroit un dizaine de fois en tout sur 20 ans. Depuis les nouveaux propriétaires, tout à changer. En septembre 2022 , nous nous présentons vers 13h30 : personne ne répond. Porte verrouillée et aucun retour d'appel. Carrément abandonnés dans la rue avec nos bagages. Vers 16h00 un genre de staff du restaurant nous ouvre la porte. Unilingue anglais, n'a pas l'air de savoir ce qu'il doit faire au 'booking'. Nous sommes sortis le soir suivant pour être "accueilli" par un party privé à notre retour : vacarme tout la soirée. Impossible d'avoir la paix ds nos propres chambres. Pire: ces VOLEURS et je pèse mes mots m'ont charger 500$ d'extra sur ma carte de crédit pour "avoir fumer dans ma chambre " ce qui est totalement FAUX. Comme fumeur je respecte les lieux et fume dehors . 1:jamais nous ne retournerons dans cette endroit lors des visites de notre famille des environs. 2: je GARANTIS aux propriétaires des procédures judiciaires pour ces frais chargés illégalement en dommage-intérêts.
