Aug 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Spot Port Hood is a small and lovely community. The cottage is a stones throw from the beach and has everything you need to enjoy your time. The third bed room as a walk through, which isn't the most convenient. And there was little more dog hair than we expected. Over all good value for money - we would go back. ##### Mark A. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim W.

It was our first time in that area and it is a beautiful town. We loved the bike trails and were also able to find beautiful places to kayak.

Sep 19, 2011 #### A Slice of heaven We loved this cottage!! The personnal touches, the decor inside & out make this a special place. We were pleasantly surprised that there was no TV, this certainly added to the disconnect, and the re-connect to nature and each other. The proximity to awesome scenery, great pubs and restaurants with ceileighs every night made this a vacation to remember. We hope to return... ##### robyn g. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Antigonish](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Microtel-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Antigonish.h64402536.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Orchard Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Wolfville-Hotels-Old-Orchard-Inn-Spa.h903228.Hotel-Information) > > [Digby Pines Golf Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Annapolis-Royal-Hotels-Digby-Pines-Golf-Resort-Spa.h890065.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Halifax - Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-By-Hilton-Halifax-Dartmouth.h2432733.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Bridgewater Hotel & Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Lunenburg-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Bridgewater-Hotel-Convention-Centre.h3812334.Hotel-Information) > > [Inverary Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Baddeck-Hotels-Inverary-Resort.h3845323.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Halifax Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Halifax-Airport.h1942038.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Halifax Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Halifax-Airport.h1379443.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Sydney.h13904.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Sydney - Waterfront by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Sydney-Waterfront.h27986.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Halifax-Dartmouth.h27486693.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Glengarry Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Best-Western-Glengarry-Hotel.h6213.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Windsor NS](https://www.expedia.ca/Wolfville-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Windsor-NS.h1710981.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Dartmouth Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Dartmouth-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-Dartmouth-Hotel.h92611337.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Hotel Bayer's Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Comfort-Hotel-Bayers-Lake.h4258037.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn on Prince Hotel & Conference Centre Truro](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Inn-On-Prince-Hotel-Conference-Centre-Truro.h428538.Hotel-Information) > > [Tru By Hilton Yarmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Yarmouth-Hotels-Tru-By-Hilton-Yarmouth.h58323252.Hotel-Information) > > [Alt Hotel Halifax Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-Halifax-Airport.h6159326.Hotel-Information) > > [Oak Island Resort & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Lunenburg-Hotels-Oak-Island-Resort-Conference-Centre.h1215229.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Chocolate Lake Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Chocolate-Lake-Hotel.h11505.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Halifax - Dartmouth by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Halifax-Dartmouth.h34504431.Hotel-Information) > > [Halifax Tower Hotel & Conference Centre, an Ascend Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Halifax-Tower-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h76690078.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Halifax Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Halifax-Dartmouth.h27486696.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Dartmouth Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Dartmouth-Hotel-Suites.h2256605.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Dartmouth.h15692.Hotel-Information) > > [Keltic Lodge At The Highlands](https://www.expedia.ca/Ingonish-Beach-Hotels-Keltic-Lodge-At-The-Highlands.h90103667.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Membertou-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Sydney-Nova-Scotia.h4905064.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Stellarton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Stellarton.h2066604.Hotel-Information) > > [The Simon Hotel Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Cambridge-Suites-Hotel-Sydney.h8311.Hotel-Information) > > [HFX Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Goffs-Hotels-HFX-Airport-Hotel.h528264.Hotel-Information)
