The master bedroom has a super comfy queen size bed, there are twin beds in the second bedroom. We have two, superb quality, air mattresses to accommodate additional guests if required. Whale Watching: Digby Neck is arguably the Whale Watching Capital of the World and guests to The Gardener's Cottage are spoilt for choice when it comes to Whale watching operators. The exciting Ocean Exploration Zodiac Whale Cruises, www.oceanexplorations.ca, describe themselves as 'Nova Scotia's most exciting and popular whale/sea bird cruises!' As repeat customers of Ocean Explorations we can vouch for their excellence, the Zodiac ride on it's own is a worthwhile experience! Tom Goodwin, the Tour Director, is a Marine Biologist and his knowledge and experience further will certainly enhance the enjoyment of your Whale Watching adventure There are, of course, other operators who depart from within a few miles of The Gardener's Cottage and,whilst the boat ride may not be as 'fast and furious, the sheer magnificence of these wonderful marine mammals is not diminished. The Town of Digby: Digby is 20 miles or so from The Gardener's Cottage and is situated on the picturesque shores of The Annapolis Basin. The town, which has a population of 2,311, has a wonderfully quaint atmosphere, the residents are extremely friendly and welcoming and we’re sure you will enjoy visiting the restaurants, cafes and shops. The Harbour is home to a working fishing fleet and Digby is famous, rightly so, for the delicious scallops harvested from the clean and clear local waters. Visitors to The Gardener's Cottage should make it a priority to try some Digby Scallops in one of the many local restaurants - they are world famous for a reason! In 1997 Canadian Living Magazine asked readers to nominate their home towns as the 'Best In Canada'. After reviewing all nominations the magazine announced Digby as the most romantic place in Canada! We'll leave you to make up your own mind about that, but one thing's for sure, you'll enjoy a relaxing, energising break at The Gardener's Cottage. Kejimkujik National Park: Kejimkujik National Park is the only inland park in Canada. Situated in the Maritimes this park is easily accessible to visitors of The Gardener's Cottage. Kejimkujik (or Keji for short!) features abundant lakes and rivers ideal for canoeing. The lush woodlands and rolling landscape are home to a variety of wildlife and visitors may enjoy historic canoe routes including portages as well as many beautiful hiking trails. Parks Canada say that Kejimkujik provides the best canoeing country in Nova Scotia. You don't have to be an experienced canoe handler to enjoy the quiet lakes and gently flowing rivers as guided canoe outings are given throughout the summer by park interpreters. This is also an ideal place for first time canoers or children to learn how to pilot these vessels. Cyclists may use their own bikes or rent one and then enjoy the 5 multi purpose trails in the park. For those that prefer the security of their own two feet, Keji offers a trail for everyone. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Ski-in/ski-out access ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 accessible parking space - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a hospital - Near the sea - On a lake ### Things to do - Optional golf privileges - Ski-in/ski-out access - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Local artist showcase - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Recycling - Unit size: 1,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92030000/92022600/92022565/a99cede4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Victorian ocean front cottage on the shores of the highest tides in the world.

Sep 9, 2013 #### Clean, spacious and comfortable with good views The location is excellent for several rough walks, which we located by looking at Google satellite images, for the outstanding fresh fish in the local harbour, the excellent whale watching trips and the proximity to Brier Island, which is fantastic for coastal walks and local history. Joshua Slocum grew up on Brier Island and you can still see the workshop and smell the smells that eventually drove him out to sea on his epic voyages. ##### Matthew H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Merrill L.

Aug 17, 2011 #### Wonderful and Relaxing Spent a week at this cottage in Little River on Digby Neck - the cottage is great - great living room and kitchen (eat-in) with everything you need to cook your own meals. Went down to the dock in Little River and got fresh Haddock to cook. The LR has great windows and a great outlook. A quick walk out back to a lane and trail to a hilltop outlook down to Little River (St. Mary's Bay view) and a trail leading to the Fundy Bay Beach (although don't go after a rain - the trail can also be a river!). Great little store with everything you need and easy travel to the ferries to Long Island and Brier Island for Whale Watching and more hiking. Had several rainy days in the cottage, reading and watching some TV. ##### Caroline W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter S. Jun 6, 2019 #### Super Cottage After an interesting and scenic drive down Digby Neck we arrived at this Cottage which stands on a small hill overlooking St Mary's Bay to the south. The Cottage was spotless when we arrived and a freshly baked pie was waiting for us!! During our stay we found the Cottage very comfortable (especially the beds) and the Cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed even things we don't have at home and we found the locals very friendly and eager to help and answer our questions. Diane who is the house keeper met us on arrival and was very knowledgeable and a mine of information about the local area. The deck area at the back of The Cottage is new and we enjoyed sitting here watching the wildlife and the world go by - very relaxing. The Cottage is well placed for day trips out to see some of what this picturesque part of Canada is all about and we really enjoyed our stay. ##### Peter S. Stayed 5 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MICHELLE LAVIGNE L. Aug 16, 2016 #### July 2016 We had a wonderful stay at the Gardener's Cottage. Diane was there to greet us and answered any questions that we had. She also stopped by a few times during our stay to see how we were getting along. She gave us many suggestions on what to do and where to eat, We did day tours to Digby, Annapolis Royal to the historical gardens, St. Mary's Bay and Yarmouth. We also took the ferries to Long Island and Brier Island, fabulous time. We spent the day at Sandy Cove beach which his 5 minutes from the house. The whale watching was the highlight, we used Petite Passage whale watching tours, say so many whales and got amazing pictures. We ate at many restaurants, the seafood was delicious, the Digby scallops, the clams and the chowder were to die for. Again this was a great base for days trips, so much to see. Diane, thanks so much for your hospitality and the wonderful pies, cherry cheesecake and a coconut pie. ##### MICHELLE LAVIGNE L. Stayed 18 nights in Jul 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet H. Jul 18, 2017 #### Tranquility with homemade pie This is a lovely cottage in a great location to allow for access to Digby, Long Island, Brier Island, Annapolis Royal, the Acadian Shore, Yarmouth and other points on the Southern Shore of Nova Scotia and the Annapolis Valley. Fresh seafood abounds nearby, easy access to highways, hiking, balance rock formation, Lake Medway park, whale watching and all within a tranquil surrounding. Then, there is fabulous Diane - what a gem. She makes you feel right at home and greets everyone with an enormous awesome pie - the apple and blueberry are favorites. But she makes many others and offers great advice about local attractions. The Little River Trading Co is a well kept store with everything from meat to small hardward. A real general merchandise store. Sandy Cove beach is not to be missed and everyone is so friendly and helpful. The cottage offers great views with nice breezes. Diane is the hub that truly makes this a great place to stay. The kitchen is well stocked and the table beckons for coffee and "pie". What a great spot for a short visit or for a long retreat. ##### Janet H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### CHRISTINE C.

Unfortunately, most of the windows did not open (1 was taped shut) & grew warm during the day, outlet was taped to wall, & lacked communication with management. Google maps location was incorrect & had to seek help from neighbor to where cottage was; owner said they sent email 2 weeks prior with instructions to contact local mgr to get key. Called & left voicemails with local manager about windows & after no response, emailed owner (in England per local mgmt). Was told windows were expected to be replaced & local mgmt indicated other items were supposed to be fixed when workers were available. Local manager (woman) finally came "stoming" in about 8pm the night of the voicemails stating she couldn't call me back because she kept getting notice that she couldn't make overseas calls, which made me wonder if she couldn't call me back how could she help me find the cottage the day I went looking for it. Grass needs cut & local mgr said she couldn't because owner broke her mower & it was in for repairs. Communication needed help & both owner & mgr could have been more gracious. I would stay here again when things have been improved. ##### H. D. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabrina S. Jun 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Schönes Haus Das Haus ist schön gelegen und mit allem ausgestattet, was man sich wünscht. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohlgefühlt. Der einzige Nachteil für uns war, dass der Einstieg in die Duschwanne für meine über 80-jährige Mutter zu hoch war. Besonderen Dank an die Hausverwalterin für alles! ##### Sabrina S. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth B. Aug 21, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location The cottage was close to all popular attractions. We would definitely return as it was very affordable, and the house had everything we needed. We also enjoyed the homemade pies upon our arrival. The only thing we were missing was a fire pit. ##### Elizabeth B.
