The cottage was beautiful, exactly as advertised and very clean. We enjoyed our stay very much. It was a great base from which to explore the south coast of Nova Scotia.
We stayed while displaced from our home. It was clean and everything we needed. A home away home, Plus a beautiful view! Quiet neighbourhood and easy to check in, thanks for having us!
Great property and hosts, definitely a repeat place to visit!

Hi Mark,
I looked at my review on my page and it shows that I gave you 5 stars for everything. Can you check again and see if your page and see if it shows something different?
If you see fewer than 5 stars I will need to phone VRBO and ask about the discrepancy.

Wildrose Cottage is everything you could ask for and more for a home away from home. It is extremely well stocked, has wonderful amenities like a hot tub and sauna and beautiful outdoor set-up, cosily decorated inside and the bed and furniture were very comfortable. The location is perfect....half way between Halifax and Lunnenburg with Peggy's Cove and Chester/Mahone Bay in between. The hosts were very responsive and extremely helpful. We will definitely be back so we can watch those amazing sunsets again!
Good location for visiting Halifax and small villages. The house had all the cooking amenities one could ask for. The hot tub was fantastic on the cool evenings we were there. Quiet area and nice side street to walking our dog.
Everything was well-stocked as well as easy to find and use. All in all it was a great stay at a great property. The owners were fast in replying to a question and very accommodating.
Property is in a wonderful location to see the local sights. It was very clean and well organized and the hosts were very responsive. I would recommend this property.
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at this immaculate cottage. I love how close the cottage is to the city. I bet it would be perfect in the summer as well so you could have a fire by the water.
Great home for good value. The home had some added touches (condiments, utensils etc) the were very beneficial for our stay. The home and backyard areas are excellent for a friend's or family get-together.
Wonderful fully equipped cottage provided relaxation, access to bike riding, dog walking and Thanksgiving dinner with our son currently training at CFB Shearwater.
