Cute, tiny 1 bedroom cottage just off the Cabot Trail. Restaurant on site, although we didn’t eat there. Well equipped kitchen, odd layout. Not at all scenic although promotional photos indicated otherwise. Nothing wrong with the cottage, average price for that area.

Not a great place to stay if your looking for some basic room necessities; no bar fridge to keep drinks or food cold, no microwave and it takes forever to get hot water for a shower.
