Hi Helen ,thank you for your review, we appreciate your your stay with us , enjoy your travels , Colin
The view of PortHood Island is stunning.
The beach is literally right at your doorstep.
The Cottages themself are spacious and well maintained.
All the implements you need to cook a meal, BBQ, or just make coffee in the morning are there; you just need to bring the food.
My only regret is that we only planned for 2 nights; I think we may return next season for the week and totally immerse ourselves in the beauty of the region.

Hi Darren ,thank you for your review , we appreciate your stay & look forward to being our guest again , Colin
This was the best stop on our Cabot trail trip. Beautiful cabin with everything you need, well maintained, well decorated to make you feel at home, back porch facing the ocean, and a beautiful beach right there, we loved it and wished we could have stayed longer.

We thank you Lynn A for your review that says it all ! We were pleased to serve you & hope you will be able to once again offer us the pleasure , Colin
The cottage is simple and very clean. The views and beach are outstanding. Colin and his staff are warm and welcoming. They provided us with information about other nearby beaches and activities. We loved the tour of the Glen Breton Distillery. Next time we’ll try out the restaurant.
I would definitely recommend the Lighthouse Cottages and we plan to return in the future 😁💕

Hi ,thank you for you very much appreciated review , take care & safe travels Colin
Our cottage was super clean, well appointed and spacious. The view and sunset were spectacular. The kitchen was well equipped. Being so close to the great beaches was wonderful. The lady who checked us in was extremely polite, friendly and informative and gave us great recommendations for dining out. I highly recommend this resort!

We arrived around 7:30pm and stayed in an old two bedroom cottage house. All grocery stores and restaurants within 10 miles were closed. The house has very slow wifi, dusty bed, no air conditioner, no shampoo!

Thank you Mathew for your kindness ,we appreciate you staying with us ! Hope fully you will keep us in mind again ,thank you Colin
The view is incredible. Sitting on the covered patio on comfortable Adirondack chairs enjoying the water view over the softly rounded grass covered dunes is amazing.
The cottage was clean and the beds comfortable.
I wish the cottage had had a hair dryer and a working microwave.
Bath soap was provided but no shampoo. Plenty of coffee filters, but the only coffee policed was instant.

It’s very clean and neat , lots of space, nice kitchen. Great place for money it charged. Loved ocean view from the porch, bbq. It’s true ocean cottage experience.

Clean new cabins and most of the amenities needed. Beach access but weather was not cooperative while we were there for only one night. Would be excellent for 4 people for multi-night stay
My wife and I loved our mid Sept visit here. Cottages are great. Staff very friendly and helpful. Beautiful view of the ocean. Nearby beach has nice sand and the water was warm enough for swimming. Will definitely come back. Much thanks to Colin and Heather.

The staff were very friendly and knowlegable about local amenities.
There was direct beach access which is very important to me. Cabin was basic, no extras but it was clean.
Overall it was a great place and we enjoyed our stay.
