Family Visit

We were in London a month for our daughter's wedding. We're familiar with the Old South area and the location was convenient to restaurants and stores. The house was suitable for our needs and the property manager great. Answered any concerns right away. Only downsize is the kitchen is a little small, lacking cupboard storage for a long stay, but otherwise the apartment was very well equipped.

Recommend - however....

Lovely one bedroom apartment on main floor of a house in a cute area. It was advertised as a non-smoking property, however, there definitely was smokers or are smokers within the apartment as my clothes all smelled like stale cigarette smoke, as well as the towels and bedding. As a non-smoker, that was the only downfall...otherwise very clean and welcoming. would be nice if there was a few chairs on the front deck to sit on

Centrally located, my stay at The Lookout allowed me to attend three outstanding Celtic Colours concerts in Judique, Cheticamp and Mabou. The accommodation is all that was promised… spotless, all amenities, comfortable bed, great shower, cozy even as the October temperatures dipped and wind drove the waves along the coast. One morning, I walked to the shore on the private path… here are some of my impressions— Collindale I walk a well-tended path to the shore past the lonely cormorant perched on Sutherland’s Pond past the pair of flickers startled from feeding on rose hips Up and over, through wind-waved dune grass to powder soft sloping sands white-capped waves sailing on blue water Crashing the beach I follow the faint track of a coyote stopping to see where he circled round a derelict lobster trap once fragrant bait bag hanging from wire ribs I sit on a weathered trunk bleached by sun and salt water watch a flight of crows helter-skeltered by the wind On my slow-stepping return through the tangle of bayberry and regosa one last raspberry reveals all of summers sweetness on my tongue October 17 2024
