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.

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 😁💕

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.
