Wildrose Cottage is everything you could ask for and more for a home away from home. It is extremely well stocked, has wonderful amenities like a hot tub and sauna and beautiful outdoor set-up, cosily decorated inside and the bed and furniture were very comfortable. The location is perfect....half way between Halifax and Lunnenburg with Peggy's Cove and Chester/Mahone Bay in between. The hosts were very responsive and extremely helpful. We will definitely be back so we can watch those amazing sunsets again!
