This was an unexpected find close to pugwash which we needed. When we arrived , the owner was expecting us , showed us right to our room. What was unexpected was the property itself. Absolutely beautiful gardens with a walking trail , lovey pond , private beach. After our li g drive we lived walking down to the water in the beautiful setting. Would stay again for sure

This felt like a hidden gem. Peaceful and beautifully manicured property on the Ocean with many spots to sit comfortably and enjoy the view and serenity. Dined at the property and the meals were 5 star as well.

The house itself was very unique. It was almost like a Bed & Breakfast. The owner was very nice and friendly. The property around the house was beautiful and had a beautiful view of the ocean. In the morning she prepared a delicious breakfast of scones, blueberry pancakes, OJ, and coffee. It was wonderful.

Easy walk to the beach. Marvin (welcome committee cat) comfortable rooms with AC, fridge, comfy bed, nice clean rooms and showers, gardens to explore, outside seating with propane fire table. And the food is Gourmet delicious! The Chefs should have a Michelin star. The scallops and vegetables, scones/bread, lemon meringue pie - the best we’ve ever had! We highly recommend!
