Breathtaking!
Review Submitted: October 11, 2009
Date of Stay: October 2009
My husband and I just returned from spending the most amazing week at the Chimney Corner Cottage near Margaree Harbour on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Our stay and Stewart and Bell's hospitality far surpassed our expectations and we are already planning a trip back next summer. The cottage, built by Stewart, is amazing! There is no detail missing in regards to the comfort the cottage provides and the magnificent views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence from the sitting area, the kitchen, the porch, and the upstairs bedroom. We watched a bald eagle nearly fly up to the back porch, watched seals daily in the bay near the beach and a large pod of pilot whales moving slowly up the gulf. The location of the cottage is also on the Cabot Trail and provides easy access to explore all areas of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park and the East side of Cape Breton. We saw large moose on two occasions and completed the trail several times. You must also visit Cape Breton Clay and purchase one of Bell's beautiful art creations, shop at Two Mac's, eat at the Dancing Goat, and much more than we can ever list here. If you are even considering a trip to this magical and spiritual land, the perfect compliment is staying at this cottage.
