Tranquilo, cómodo y cerca de Mahone Bay

Terrific place cute and well appointed. Loved having bikes for the Chester Connection! Jays mom was wonderful.

The property was located very close to Mahone Bay and not far from Halifax and Digby which enabled us to easily travel around the area. The property is located slightly off the main road which made for a very quiet and peaceful stay. It was well stocked with just about everything that you need.

We loved our stay at Far, Far Away cottage. It has everything you need for 2-3 people. They even provide very nice bikes to use and there is a trail just outside of the property.

We enjoyed Halifax, Peggy’s Cove, Mahone Bay, Lunenburg, The Ovens Natural Park.

In Chester the Seaside Shanty had the best Lobster Seafood Chowder! The fall colors were spectacular!

I will recommend Far, Far Away to all my friends!

Far Far Away Guesthouse is comfortable, cozy and uniquely styled- we enjoyed the decor and artwork. Jay was sweet to leave us a card and bottle of wine as I mentioned it was our anniversary. He was easy to communicate with, very laid back, and overall the perfect host.

The cottage is well stocked with extras and some basic food supplies- coffee, sugar, etc, so there is very little one would need to run to the store to get. Close to Mahone Bay (Mug & Anchor restaurant, Jennifer's Bakery are MUSTS) and Chester Basin, (The Galley was wonderful/romantic). The Chester Connector trail goes over the Gold River and along the old train route- we found the area breathtaking. The beauty of this spot is it's out-of-the-way location, while being close to everything one comes to Nova Scotia to see.

Caveats: The bathroom is quite cramped, but we managed. The water pump was so loud I didn't wish to flush the toilet or take an early morning shower because I didn't wish to awaken my partner. But I wouldn't hestitate to come back to visit again- I'd just bring earplugs for my honey.

It fit with our style of traveling- a base camp for our explorations. It's less than an hour from Ross Farm Museum up Route 12, Martock (OnTree Park) up route 14 and Halifax, up highway 103.

Our stay at the Far Far Away Guesthouse was fantastic! It was home for four nights and we were quite happy with every minute. The listing description was extremely accurate, including the photos. It's as cute and cozy as it looks and very convenient for location. My dad golfed to his heart's content while I hit the beach and nearby Lunenburg. The amenities were exceptional and helped to make our stay even more comfortable! I hadn't ridden a bike for a very long time, but being close to the Confederation Bike Trail made it (relatively) painless! ;) The owner is super friendly, helpful, and eager to please. I would (and will) highly recommend this property to friends and family... especially if you plan on 'hanging around' for more than a few days!
