The owners were extremely accommodating. We arrived late and they had already closed their laundry room, but they open the laundry room and just told us to lock it up when we were finished.

What a great little cottage! Older but well cared for and clean. The view and beach access can’t be beat! This was one of our best beaches on our trip…it was a beautiful hot afternoon and we swam and played in the waves for a long time.

Great location with a short walk down to Lawrence's Beach, which rarely had more than a dozen people on it. Great for nice walks. Cottage was compact, but had everything we needed. Good central location to explore the west side of Cape Breton. Steps to Ceilidh trail head.

Best place to stay!

We had the best time. This cottage property is superb! Clean, comfy and beautiful views. The beach was an added bonus! Oliver was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable of the area. We watched the Oilers pull out a win after an amazing day on the Cabot Trail. Win, win. We will be back!

The cottage was small and dated but very clean. The view from the front porch was awesome! The property description online indicated that it was air conditioned - it was NOT. We had to sleep with the windows open and a fan. Not quite what we expected for the price we paid.
