Wonderful, relaxing place to stay

Our stay at the property was superb. I have never stayed anywhere where everything, part from food and drink was there! The property is cosy inside, although perfectly fine; but it is the outside and the views that are fantastic! The water is just across the road, (yes there is traffic on the road, but it didn't spoil our enjoyment at all), and there is a patio deck with table and chairs, two other 'deck chairs' near the BBQ area, and seats under the verandah in case of rain. Lovely to sit outside and have breakfast and dinner looking across the water! The owners are nearby and extremely helpful and friendly. Excellent end to our East Canada holiday!
