We cannot say enough good things about our stay at Sunset Bank Cottage.Our goal was to relax, unwind and explore the area as we wished. From the cottage, we explored Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and vistas along St. Margaret's Bay. Upon arrival, I knew the photos of the cottage looked great, but I was not prepared for how perfect the cottage was for the two of us - it was tastefully decorated, spotless, comfortable, and included thoughtful touches like hand-written notes about the area and dog bowls were set out for our dog when we arrived. The backyard was peaceful and full of wildlife, including hummingbirds, chickadees, goldfinches, and gulls.You will be blown away by the view of the ocean, and if you're lucky like we were, a sunset on a cloudless night. We sat in the backyard (you may need a sweater) and watched the sky change colours while listening to the water crash onto the shore. You should also go down to the water to see the sunset by taking the backyard pathway – it is worth it! We recommend exploring Peggy’s Cove, the Swissair Flight 111 Memorial, and the Train Station Bike & Bean in Tantallon. We enjoyed our meal at Rhubarb and getting ice cream at Whale’s Back Country Store as well.Thank you to Beth for being a wonderful and thoughtful host – everyone needs to experience a sunset from her cottage and explore the local gems of St. Margaret’s Bay.

A perfect spot. Great location. They thought of everything. The beds were comfortable and the ocean side porch was wonderful. We had a wonderful time.

Really nice spot. Clean and comfortable house with everything needed.

Very sweet cottage, totally cut off from the world. A little private oasis! Kayaked, swam off the dock, watched the birds and seals in the bay. 100/10 would come back again and again!!

Stayed with my partner, our teen sons and my parents. A gorgeous location in good proximity to sites and amenities. Recommended.

A group of 8 of us spent a week at this chateau. It is as stunning as it looks in the photos - beautifully appointed and on the water. Pros: beautiful space, easy to cook (large kitchen, bbq, lots of dishes), lots of cozy places to hang out (big dining room table, 4 fireplaces - 2 inside, 2 outside, games room with pool table, 2 large tvs, and more).Cons: it’s at least a 30-50 minute drive to get anywhere, the showers do not drain well so you end up standing in pooled water).In terms of the sleeping areas: there are 4 bedrooms with queen beds, 2 with en suite bathrooms (1 on main floor 1 on second floor), and in addition there is a full bathroom between the other two bathrooms on the second floor and a powder room (half bathroom) on the main floor. There is also a pull out couch on the third floor in the games room area but it is not close to a bathroom and offers no privacy. I think they would be better served to have the pull out couch(es) in the den on the main floor.

Such a lovely comfortable and well stocked cottage in a beautiful location with fantastic hosts. The local bread, free range eggs and butter, coffee and tea on arrival were such a welcoming gift. The "house book" provided so much useful information and recommendations. These 4 nights came at the end of our travelling holiday through Newfoundland, Quebec, New Brunswick, PEI and Nova Scotia and the cottage was an absolute haven of peace and quiet - with hummingbirds as well as games/cards to keep us entertained. We can't wait to return (just hoping we can secure a booking in the future!).
