Book a Sampson Cove Resort

"Lovely location; great staff "

"Great views and clean rooms! "

"This was exactly what we needed! Our family of four (kids ages 9 and 11) were so comfortable here for four nights. We enjoyed watching sunsets on the beach each night, fishing from the beach, and relaxing on the deck. We explored some local spots as well as Louisburg and the Cabot Trail from here. The team was very responsive when we needed them. On our last morning we saw three deer in front of our dome!"

"My stay was perfect. Having spent my summers on the Bras d’Or lake as a child I knew what I was getting with regards to lake (it is clear, warmer than the ocean, salt water —perfect to me!), but this was my first stay at Lakeside Luxury. I booked the cottage which was a great option for privacy, the screened porch was perfect for the mornings and evenings to get away from bugs. The bed was very comfortable and so was the sofa and there were some really great finishes in the cottage to give it a luxury feel but still with the Cape Breton vibes I grew up with. It was so peaceful and I loved spending my days on the private dock and then going back in the evening to get my sunset pictures (Bras d’Or Arm of Gold). The staff were exceptional. I stayed a week so saw them come and go and they checked in periodically to see if I needed anything and were very pleasant. I needed to get away from my life and spend some time alone with just the sounds of rustling trees and the water lapping on the shore and this place was the perfect choice!! Thank you for an amazing vacation!"

"The house is located in a quaint and picturesque community off the beaten path. There is a lovely ocean breeze that cools the house down in the evening (if you are concerned about no air conditioning). We did not struggle to sleep in the evenings. The host is amiable and visited us as we were checking out. I mentioned that there was no coffee (only tea) and that there was no laundry detergent (to go along with the washer and the coffee maker). I grew up in the area, so I was able to find these items, but he thanked me for updating him and assured me this is something he would address.This was minor because the rest of the amenities were excellent. The beach is great for an evening stroll and there is ample sea glass for the beach combers out there. Overall, we loved our stay at the Fisherman's rest house. "

"The most awesome fantastic and incredible place you ever want to stay!"

"Nice location. Nice view from the hill. Went clam digging. Went to the beach. Went to Louisbourg Fortress. "

"Great property with a lot of character - hot tub is a nice touch too "

"Amazing! Secluded, all of the convenience of home, pristine beach, mesmerizing sunset and night sky. I will be back!!"
