A hidden gem

We booked Clifty last minute as a decision to stay out of the city on our way to Lunenburg. What a wonderful stay. Friendly check-in with a map of the area provided..and recommendations for food. Water bottles provided, and so amazing to wake up seeing the ocean outside your window. Was a very peaceful and quiet evening.

The staff are very welcoming, friendly and easy to approach. The view is amazing and very quiet and nearby the light house and family grocery store. The room itself is very cozy, equied with small fridge, microwave, dining counter with 2 chairs and Kuurig coffee machine. The owner she’s so sweet and helpful. Suggestion: a kettle to make tea would be amazing.
