Lakeside Guest House - Porters Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Very calm and relaxing environment directly at the lake. Best thing was to sit on the dock with a cup of coffee in the morning listening to the birds. We used the boats and SUPs frequently. The water was warm and nicely and the water trampoline for the kids got full approval.It's big enough for a family of four and you have everything you need inside.We went to Halifax several times, so it's not to far away from something else to do. We think the location is perfect and we miss the place already."
