Guest TestimonialsWe had a wonderful time! The view is fantastic and we experienced all kinds of weather from warm and sunny to a "nor easter!" We love the seals! Had fun taking day trips; seeing all the beautiful beaaches and quaint villages. Lunenburg was great! Our best supper was the lobster we got in town. We cooked them here-they were delicious! All in all: a perfect way to celebrate our 30th anniversary!
We have both had a wonderful time staying in your beatiful house in Liverpool. The investments you have made in time and care to furnishing and decorating the house have been very much appreciated. This certainly is a much different place to the Liverpool we have in our country!
We have had a fabulous week here at Sanderling Beach House. The house is in a wonderful location and is very comfortable. Our boys had a great time on the beach despite the lack of sunshing and I managed to read three novels (a holiday record!). The house has everything you might need. We saw seals out in the bay as well as a humming bird and red squirrel. All in all a perfect week despite the weather.
We have spent the last two weeks in this wonderful cottage. It's old world charm and character, heightened by the scenic view have made for a relaxing vacation. We also enjoyed the wild blueberries! There were many visits by deer; a doe and 2 fawns!

DescriptionHistory:In the spring of 1783, over 5000 settlers arrived on the shores of Shelburne Harbour from America. Assurance of living under the British flag, and promises of free land, tools, and provisions lured many to the British Colonies at that time. In the fall of 1783, a second wave of settlers arrived and by 1784, the population of this new community is estimated to have been at least 10,000 the fourth largest in North America - much larger than either Halifax or Montreal. Today, Shelburne is a charming historic town set on a truly spectacular harbour. Unspoiled by industry or shipping, local town's folk like to boast that it is the third best natural harbour in the world after Sydney and Halifax. Over 16 km long, and dotted with small communities and beaches, the harbour is perfect place to sail, canoe or kayak. A walk through the Historic District is a trip through architectural history. The six narrow lanes and four streets retain the same dimensions and character as laid out by the original British surveyors. Of the 46 residential properties in the District, only one was built after 1900. Eight of the twelve dwellings facing the water were built before 1785. With over a dozen architectural styles present Shelburne's wooden heritage is considered the most significant in Canada. The museum complex, with it four museums - the Muir-Cox Shipyard, Dory Shop Museum, Ross-Thompson House and the Shelburne County Museum are all worth a visit. When the dory shop was established in 1880, it was part of a dory-building industry, which at its peak, included at least seven shops along the Shelburne waterfront.
