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.

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.

Port hood has warm beaches

This little gem of a stay had fantastic views of the ocean. Great setup of outdoor seating including a bbq, Adirondack chairs and picnic table. The beach being so close was great for early morning walks and after dinner walks. Colin was wonderful in getting in touch for check in.

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.

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!

Our first time exploring Cape Breton and we made this our base for a few days. We were expecting it be rustic and it sure was - a real old-style beach cabin. The plumbing had a few issues but it delivered hot water no problem. The kitchen is the front entry so a bit crowded. Still, we had a great stay. The porch and picture window allows for great views of the sunset and lighthouses at night. Colin was very helpful with our reservation when we needed to make a change. It seemed a bit over-priced for what it was but in line with other properties in the area.

Amazing property - ocean view and less than 2 minute walk to a secluded beach. Cabins are clean, well stocked and well kept. Hot water a plenty for showering. Thus is a hidden gem, two bedroom cottages, amazingly caring staff and it was just an enjoyable experience all round. 3 year old grandson was easily kept busy and loved the beach. We will be going back - again and again !!

The cottage was clean and had a fabulous view. The staff were very friendly and helpful and there is laundry available. It is very quiet and peaceful. The tv channels are very limited and the couch was not very comfortable but the cottage had everything we needed during our 9 day stay. A good location to explore Cape Breton from. 30 minute drive to Inverness and Cabot golf courses.

Lovely little cottage. 2 bedrooms. Beds were comfy. Nice view. Clean. Needs more electrical receptacles. Suggest a multi plug that has usb and c ports. TV is not a smart tv so bring your own Roku or AppleTV type device if you want to watch something. Would also suggest more wine glasses. I would absolutely stay again.
