A fine family hotel very near the Peggy's Cove site. That allowed us to visit the site very early in the day, and go again later, when the cruise tourism is over.

Calming sea views from our balcony, very clean, has keurig, microwave, fridge. Outdoor seating on chairs at water. Great food at Cafe L’Acadie just within walking distance. Highly recommend booking the Cozy Cliff Motel and enjoying the local dishes at Cafe L’Acadia.

The room was clean and great. The view is astonishing similar to Peggy's cove. We look at a spectacular sunset. Also watch a seagull fishing his diner. Very relaxing. Best stay you can imagine. Five minute walk to a great restaurant and staff.

Absolutely darling property on the water in Peggy’s Cove. Very clean, beautiful view and gracious staff. We highly recommend you stay at Clifty Cove. We stayed in The Delta Hotel in St. John the previous night, and while good, it could not hold a candle to this amazing setting. And, it was less than half the price. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great location with a lovely view. Ideal for Peggy’s Cove. Room was fine at a reasonable price. Comfortable beds, microwave and fridge in the room. Coffee machine was a bit temperamental but we managed. Bathroom was OK with complimentary toiletries. There is a small shop down the road that sells alcohol. It was lovely to sit outside our room on Adirondack chairs and listen to the waves lapping. L’Arcadie cafe over the road was great for breakfast. All in all pretty good
