What a great location!
The house was perfect for the four of us, with en suite bathrooms, a big dining area, and a well equipped kitchen - but the front porch is where you want to be when you're not out exploring Pictou and the surrounding area.
The town itself is great, lots of history and a variety of restaurants (watch for some that are not open Mondays/Tuesdays).
In less than 15 minutes, you can get on the ferry for a day trip to PEI, or, in a couple of hours in the other direction, you'll be on the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton. In between there are lots of great little towns to visit, along with several lighthouses. If you like sunrises, head up the road a bit to the Caribou - Munroes Island Provincial Park - you might even see some seals!
Dave's a great owner and communicates clearly, and made everything simple for our trip. We really enjoyed our stay!
