I could not have asked for a more quiet and peaceful place to stay for my birthday weekend ! Check in was easy and flexible! Only issue was when moving the sofa to fold out in the bed form, we found someone’s underwear underneath . Definitely will be back though !

Pool hours are not posted, if nobody seems to be around they close it up early. Outdoor washer toys, games, etc are in a building that used to be a reception desk. Not told or any indication on building that you can go in there. View is nice.

The cottages are so run down. The place is basically a dump and I will never stay there again and would never recommend this place to anyone. The windows were filthy, the doors didn’t close properly, there were earwigs everywhere. The grounds are so pretty and the view is so nice that it’s a shame that no one has done anything about the disgusting accommodations.

Great views, poor breakfast
Supplied continental breakfast left much to be desired. A single cup coffee maker to make coffee, tea, and hot water for oatmeal is grossly inadequate for a breakfast bar. Zero protein with continental breakfast. Three of us, two yoghurts... Views were great, people were friendly and helpful.

The property was right on the water and was a very pretty view. They had just got over hurricane Dorian so they only had electricity back the night before we got there. The room was unique and clean but old and dated as were the bedding.

Love the kitchen suite Easy to clean Part of Clothes rack is in the way of the tv Can be move Great view nice garden near the restaurant Fabulous plant Need more hooks for dishes towels Excellent service by the lady at breakfast time Good fresh fruit Scramble Eggs tasteless But good variety of bread and excellent muffins to make toast and oatmel etc Newly renovated restaurant is well done contemporary look navy blue fresh plants and boat decoration. Room can have more furniture to put your suitcase on racks and need a side table to one side of the bed. Old furniture in the suite. Comfortable Carrying luggage need time as the car is park 30 feet away from our front door. It's better to move your car in the back water entrance Night was quiet They have a fire place outside handy to meet other guest Little cottage for kids with fun entertainment Would love to see local artist painting in the room nothing in the wall Information on radio and TV local station can ne handy Note on the breakfasts time o. The room will be good with I do of the local area in the room Big old jacuzzi bath. Jacuzzi not working but bah is huge and deep. Need power support bar.

Located right on Smith's Cove, a few minutes drive to small town of Digby for stores, gas and waterfront restaurants. Friendly, helpful staff, hiking trails nearby. Beautiful view of the Cove. We had a comfortable room with a full kitchen. There's a restaurant on-site for breakfast and dinners.

Shabby
We were Initially allocated an inappropriate room. We are a family of four and were sent to a small "lodge" with one double bed. We were then sent to a dilapidated house and given a two bedroom apartment on the top floor (no.35). This had faulty sash windows propped open with bits of old wood, a broken stair gate at the top of a dangerous staircase (we have a crawling infant), and the shabby interior clearly hadn't been updated for decades. The restaurant was fine and the outside pool area was pleasant. I suspect there is a reason that they make guests pay on arrival before they've seen their accommodation.
