A perfectly-appointed cottage with spectacular sunsets
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.
