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.

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.

We really enjoyed this quaint little cottage in Pleasant Bay, Cape Breton. It is in a very convenient stopping point along the Cabot Trail. The cottage is well appointed and having a private hot tub was an added bonus, especially to warm up in the cold weather. Hosts Elizabeth & Brian were very responsive.
