Guest TestimonialsWhat a beautiful spot! The hosts have thought of everything. Fully equipped kitchen, beautiful decor, spectacular view. We would stay at Summerset Cottage again and again. Highly recommended!!
Bright View Cottage is a great scenic spot for a relaxing family weekend away. Pictures do not do this location justice!
An absolute dream spot!
We travelled to the Sanderling Beach House from Ontario in August. What an amazing week! The house was even more spacious than it appeared in the photos, with a beautiful beach theme running throughout. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, and the layout provides a beautiful view of the beach from just about every spot in the house. The white sand beach is gorgeous, clean and so quiet. It almost felt like we were on a private beach. We would 100% recommend this property to anyone considering it. The fact that we had three teenagers who never once missed being "connected" due to lack of WiFi or television speaks volumes!! Thank you John and Helen. We had a lovely stay with spectacularly clear nights. The was a new moon so you could see the Milky Way and rain horizon to horizon. I haven't seen so many stars in years

Liverpool
Brightly coloured buildings on Liverpool's main street.
Max and Sam love this pirate ship play ground in Liverpool.
DescriptionHistory:Originally a Mi'kmaq settlement, the Town of Liverpool was founded in 1759 by the New England Planters. During its heyday, between 1749 and 1812, the town was a hot bed of pirates and privateers. Privateers were given permission from the crown to seize enemy ships and their cargoes. The most famous of these were the Rover, the Lucy and the Liverpool Packet. Every Canada Day weekend (July 1st) Liverpool hosts the Privateer Days - a lively festival that celebrates the town's "privateering" history. Events include boat races, walking tours, a historical reenactment, a rum run, street parade, live music and fireworks. There are a couple of interesting museums in Liverpool. The Hank Snow Country Music centre features some of Hanks' personal memorabilia, including his 1947 convertible Cadillac. The Rossignol Cultural Centre appeals to kids of all ages. The Guide Sports, Hunting, Fishing and Mi'Kmaq Museum features images and artifacts of early guiding and native life. There are folk art, outhouse and apothecary museums. The Wildlife Museum has an 18-foot giraffe, musk ox, polar bear, wolf, caribou and other taxidermies. Outside there are teepees, an early settler's cabin, a yurt and a re-creation of Maude Lewis' tiny house. Fort Point Lighthouse park is worth a visit. The park is open year-round with picnic tables, interpretive panels and a scenic view of Liverpool Harbour and Coffin Island Lighthouse. From mid-May to mid-October, costumed interpreters meet visitors, there is an audiovisual presentation by a previous light keeper's son, as well as a gift shop, viewing binoculars, washrooms, and parking. Guided tours of Liverpool are available from Fort Point Lighthouse Park. Brochures are available from the Queens County Museum and the Visitor Information Centre. If you are traveling with children, Liverpool has an excellent play ground on the waterfront. LocationThe closest cottages to Liverpool are Moose Harbour View Cottage which is about a 7 - 10 minute drive from the center of town. Also close by are Summerset Cottage, Harbour Tide House and Sea Star Cottage.AddressLiverpool, Nova ScotiaGoogle Map |
