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.

My Daughter came from Ontario with her boyfriend. They stayed in one of the suites that felt like you were in an apartment. Bedroom was a separate room with a TV. Two doors led to the bathroom. The living area was a separate room s well and had plenty of space. There were a table, chairs, couch, coffee table, two rocking chairs, kitchenette and all of the amenities as if your in your own home! What a delight! The view of the ocean was amazing and the noise level around was minimal. The resort is very close to the city of digby, ns so all shopping, dining and touring is about 5-10 mins away. The staff was great and let me enter the premises early to have a surprise basket ready for them when they arrived. The room was clean, with an old school feel. Awesome time they had and want to stay there the next time they visit!

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.

Anlage okay, Service in der Nebensaison mangelhaft

Wir hatten mit Frühstück gebucht, da die Anlage aber nicht ausgelastet war, haben wir (zum gleichen Preis / kein Nachlass) ein "Frühstück" am Vorabend in das Apartment gestellt bekommen. Es gab keinerlei Belag für das Brot und das aufgeschnittene Obst schmeckte am nächsten Morgen nicht mehr.
