Here’s what they have to say:
Beautiful home - we had 2nd floor to ourselves. Wonderfully decorated. Comfortable bed. Very clean. Hostess was a wealth of information about nearby attractions and potential stops on our trip. Breakfast of yogurt with homemade rhubarb compote and french toast sandwiches was delicious!
Resident cat on premises was super friendly! .....
Jennifer - Canada
​
Our host pleasant and welcoming - we immediately felt at home. The house was spotless and very attractive: view of the sea from our bedroom; great sunset from church road & our favorite beach just down the road. Dinner & breakfast were scrumptious! We were only there one night - should have stayed longer!
Alan - United States
​
A fantastic house decorated to the highest standard. The host Louise is a very welcoming and knowledgeable person who provides a wealth of travel and activity tips not only for the local area but across Nova Scotia. Staying with Louise has been the highlight of our trip so far (and we don’t expect it to be topped) - it was superb!

This was the best guesthouse we’ve stayed in so far on our road trip around Nova Scotia. Perfect host, beautiful house.

The property inside was beautifully decorated with interesting artwork . The bed was very comfortable and bedroom was spotless. Nice touches like quality toiletries and lovely soft, white towels in the bathroom. In the morning we had a delicious breakfast with juice and coffee.

We greatly enjoyed our stay.
