Facility was fine for our needs for the night. It looks tired- needs a little updating. It would not be my choice for a few nights.

Nice accommodation, great location
Our accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable. The private beach was stunning, a walk along it just after dawn was truly magnificent.
Cabin was very clear, had everything we needed and more. We loved the atmosphere of the location. We used the private path to the beach to enjoy the sunrise every morning of our stay. The location was close to everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again!!!

Clean and quiet, well stocked, unfortunately the seating area was insufficient and very uncomfortable. There needs to be deeper cleaning of wooden walls ie...dust, cobwebs. Everything else was clean. More dish cloths, towels needed.

Cabin near the Cabot Trail
This place was, in a word, okay. Not great, not awful. We stayed in a 1-bedroom cabin. The furnishings were tired and outdated but clean. The location was good - close to the Cabot Trail. Would I stay there again? Probably not.
Such a lovely place to stay with the family. Everything was clean and well put together. Access to private beach closed but only because of the fire ban
