The Birch Plain Tower

I liked the small but efficiently designed 2 storey apartment. The large balcony and upper floor offered a beautiful view of the ocean. The bedroom has 2 skylights and I could see the stars while lying in bed.

All was good.

Very pleasant surprise. Well appointed kitchen, washroom grounds.

Touring through the Maritimes I have deliberately looked for unconventional and quirky place to stay in beautiful places. Feeling very smug about this one - the Birch Plain Tower fits the brief ++. The location is remote but on the main Cabot Trail road and a vehicle is absolutely essential. The site has 4 cabins plus the Tower set in woodland bordering the sea with a short walk to a breath taking private beach. Very stoney - don't expect sand but beautiful and so peaceful. Ton, our host was very welcoming and helpful and cooked a fantastic breakfast for us - have the pannenkoeken, delicious! The tower itself is self contained with it's own facilities. It is above the comfort station for the other 4 cabins. I didn't realise this until we got there but it really wasn't an issue. It is the Rolls Royce of comfort stations and our fellow guests were very quiet and respectful of each other's space and privacy. The tower is an amazing structure, it's bijou but very well thought out and does feel a bit like staying in a tree house - exactly what I was after. Be assured the stairs to the sleeping area. although steep, are 'proper' stairs and not a ladder. We had such clear nights we kept the blinds open and watched the stars. Fantastic value for money. We had 3 nights in the Tower and were so sorry to leave. Magical place. Thank Ton & Yvonne. I really hope we'll be back one day.

Absolutely nothing regarding the property. Top tip - Like anywhere in Canada near water there are bugs. We forgot to bring some bug spray - don't forget yours!

Everything. Accommodation was quirky and brilliant. Superb views and wonderful listening to the waves and seeing the stars from the bedroom
