Reviewer Comments:
The cottage was easily located and check-in was a breeze. We had a woah moment when we entered the house after being welcomed by a dozen of seals lounging on the dock. The interior was as described, and smelled clean and everything was impeccable. The cottage was very quiet and we had a wonderful time. My wife and I would recommend this property.

It was a beautiful spot. Quiet, close to town and everywhere we wanted to go. Fun to watch the seals fishing so close. Cottage had everything needed just like home

What’s not to like about this place! Peaceful, quiet, clean; everything we needed plus the birds and seals to enjoy!
