Great Destination for Reunion and Getaway

Recommendation Silver Spring, MD, USA
Review Submitted: September 16, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Old Salt is located on a hilltop with a great view of Mahone Bay, Little Tancook Island and the Atlantic. It is isolated away from neighboring properties and has access to the bay - although there are good beaches a mile away and 3 miles away (Bayswater). The accommodations were comfortable for a group of 5 adults who divided time between local sightseeing (Halifax, Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay and Leunenburg) and hanging out on the back deck. Chester is the closest town with shopping and has a good harbor-view restaurant/bar - the Rope Loft. We enjoyed our two weeks at Old Salt tremendously. The owners and caretaker are very easy to work with and have local roots.

We had a terrific time at Old Salt - a great old home with all the modern conveniences. We shared the space with another family and had plenty of room. Loved the view, the beautiful and convenient location, and the hospitality. Thanks for a wonderful, restful family vacation.

For a curling team of four teenage boys and their coach, Old Salt provided a spacious opportunity to relax between matches. The rugged coast line offered stimulating strolls and the scenic view rewarded our early rising for competition each morning. Conveniently located as a launching point to curling clubs in Chester and Lunenberg, as well as day trips to Peggy's Cover or beyond.

Our stay was so relaxing, and we felt comfortable in Old Salt right away. It's a great location to be away on your own, but not too far for things to do.

Old Salt is a quiet and secluded place to relax, the back deck being the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or an evening BBQ looking out on the water. Plenty of grassy space outdoors for children to run around. Owners and local contact friendly and responsive. A good location for day trips by car, whether saltwater/freshwater fishing, exploring local coves and harbours, or a ferry trip to the Tancook islands from Chester.
