Property is very dated. Bathroom has been updated but is very small with very tiny shelf for our personal toiletries. No housekeeping. No clean towels until we asked at office. Expensive place to stay for such a dated property. Would not recommend. There appear to be nicer properties around for the price.

Great little Motel

2 separate units with us and friends were a bit different. They were missing water and coffee cups, although they could have asked. The lack of power outlets was an issue. The view was spectacular and much appreciated.

The location was perfect. We were close to Peggys cove and the Memorial. The host was very kind and helpful. The room had plenty of space, nice shower, coffee maker and AC. There was ample parking, with a lovely seating area on the cove. The room looked like it got a nice recent update. We had everything we needed for our stay.

Absolutely darling property on the water in Peggy’s Cove. Very clean, beautiful view and gracious staff. We highly recommend you stay at Clifty Cove. We stayed in The Delta Hotel in St. John the previous night, and while good, it could not hold a candle to this amazing setting. And, it was less than half the price. Wish we could have stayed longer!
