I hope that this place open for many years to come. A beautiful place to stay. You cannot beat lying in bed at night with the surf rolling and the breeze.

The property needs some TLC, (the buildings are aging and in need of an up date) The Provincial Park Beach, adjacent to the property is definitely worthy of a visit!!

Great little hotel by the beach
Stayed at the hotel the night we arrived in NS after taking the ferry into Yarmouth. We only stayed 1 night but the place was great. Super cute room which was just renovated and the location was perfect. The beach is walkable as well and is definitely worth checking out (make sure to walk down to the cliffs to the south). Homemade banana bread for breakfast the next day and the manager was nice enough to give my son a few slices to go! Just a really nice experience all around and really nice staff.

I was going to be late because I had spent the afternoon at the ER in Halifax. I called and let the owner know that. When I arrived at about 8:30 pm, the owner asked me if I had had dinner - I said that I had not. She brought me a generous plate of cheese, crackers, apple slices, and olives along with an adult beverage. I was SO IMPRESSED AND THANKFUL.

Excellent place to stay, quiet and comfortable. Travelled with two girls 10 and 12. Loved the beach and the waves were awesome. Girls loved using their boogie boards. Close to Yarmouth and also the benefit of having a food boat on the premises.

Wonderful hostess named laura who bends over backwards to help in any way - offered great tips on where to eat, what to see and do, etc. Delicious breakfast including homemade pumpkin bread. And an absolutely beautiful beach to walk or swim you can hear the surf at night if the window is open. They offer cottages and motel rooms . We stayed in a motel roomperfect for our needs. Comfortable bed and very clean
