The Periwinkle Cottage is a charming cottage in the woods with a lovely ocean view. The Periwinkle Cottage is tucked in the woods above a cove one mile south of the northern tip of Campobello Island and within walking distance of the beautiful East Quoddy Head Harbour Lighthouse and the Head Harbour wharf where working fishing boats dock and Whale Watch Tours take on passengers. The East Quoddy Head Lighthouse is one of the most photographed in the world . At low tide you can walk on the ocean floor to go over to the island the lighthouse sits. The Periwinkle is a 2 room cottage with an expansive deck for bird and whale watching and a lovely view of the Pasaquoddy Bay. Enjoy dining alfresco with eagles and ospreys flying overhead and the sounds of whales feeding in the cove below. Easy, close-up views of whales are frequent in the summer and early fall. This is a private and charming retreat surrounded by trees and Adirondack chairs on the cliff overlooking the water

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Periwinkle Cottage. It was great to take a few days to relax and unwind. The cottage is exactly as described and the views were spectacular. We are definitely going to return to Campobello Island!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 6/6

It was nice to come back to the Island since not being here since I was a little girl. This time I brought my own boys who explored almost every beach on the island. We found sand dollars, sea glass, sea urchins and beautiful shells. Eagles were nesting in the trees near the cottage. We also saw Peregrine, falcon, seals and porpoises and its been lovely to come back. The Periwinkle cottage was perfect and a quiet respite. Thank YouDid you find this review helpful?

First of all don't miss the sunrise at the Lighthouse down the street. Seeing the sunrise and coming back to hear the whales blow from the cottage deck was unreal. Visit the Roosevelt information center for inside information. We saw seals, finback and minke whales, eagles and osprey, porpoise and lots of gulls from the cottage deck. The cottage was so clean and had everything to make our stay on Campobello Island comfortable. Thank you so much!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My husband and I loved the Periwinkle Cottage and whished we had a few more days here. This cottage is perfect and the scenery off the back deck is breath taking. We have seen whales, dolphins and eagles along with a scolding seagull who about startled my husband to death. We hope to return soon. Thanks for the break!Did you find this review helpful?

Loved our stay at the Periwinkle Cottage. We saw whales, dolphins out front of cottage and by the shore of the Lighthouse. We ate Lobster dinner at Family Fisheries. We also saw seals and eagles from our back deck at the Periwinkle Cottage. I took a wonderful painting workshop from Michael Chesley Johnson who is a great painter and sells his beautiful art of the Island down at the Friars Bay studio. PS: Dennis & Margaret, your cottage is a labor of love that is so evident in all of the little touches. Thank YOU! A wonderful experience.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

50TH ANNIVERSARY AT THE PERIWINKLE COTTAGE

Our one week stay here has been the best 50th Anniversary celebration. Our spirits have been lifted by listening to the song birds, gulls, eagles and the cries of the seals and lap of water on the shore has been inspirational. The Islanders have been very helpfull and have extended the usual friendship of Canadians. This cottage is outstanding. Thank you for all of the hard work . The attention given to decorating and furnishing the Periwinkle Cottage has been outstanding. I love the blue dishes in the cottage. Loved our Tea with Eleanor at the Roosevelt cotage.. We enjoyed searching for sea glass at Pollock Cove and the round rocks at Racccoon beach are neat.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
