Guest TestimonialsWe had a fantastic stay at Francis Louis House on our honeymoon. It's a relaxing and beautiful! This is a truely a unique place and we enjoyed every moment here.
I would book another stay at Neptunes Rise in a heartbeat. We spent a lot of our trip on the porch off the kitchen, watching seals, deer, eagles, and osprey go by. My son stayed busy with the toys and books. It’s a totally private space, yet minutes from Shelburne and not far from many beautiful destinations on the south shore. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is well appointed, and the property is lovely.
Home sweet Home
This is a wonderful house on a wonderful North Atlantic beach. Sanderling Beach House is just perfect, thousand times better than the pictures can show. Spotlessly clean, well built, well equipped, very spacious, full of taste. Right on the beach yet very private, as the beach is hardly shared with anybody else, if not for the 8 sandpipers which are among the very few left in Canada, the seagulls, and the sight of the seals. We were so lucky to have perfectly dark night with millions of stars, shooting stars, clear water, and beach fires. And yes there are bugs, and they sting you, but this is a little price to pay for the wilderness of untouched beauty. We have enjoyed our stay at our cottage so much. The location is ideal and lovely. The cottage is lovely and well equipped. Everything was great.

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 |
