Cozy cottage

Our family really enjoyed our short stay in this cozy little cottage. The private hot tub was definitely a highlight! Close to the Pleasant Bay harbour, whale watching and a rocky but nice beach. Highly recommend the Rusty Anchor resteraunt a short 10 minute drive away.

Great Spot in Pleasant Bay

We had a great stay at the cottage while visiting Pleasant Bay. If you're hoping to go whale watching, this location is very close to a couple of whale watching companies. Literally just minutes away. We loved the private hot tub after a big day of various activities, including hiking.

Very clean cottage with all the amenities you would need. We had a great supper at the rusty anchor, which is only a short drive away. Neighbours and dog barking across the street were loud at times when outside using the hot tub, but relaxing in the hot tub was still amazing. Overall, it was a very nice place to stay the night while we explored the Cabot trail.
