Location

Bright View Cottage is located on the eastern shore of Lockeport Harbour in the sparsely populated seaside community of East Ragged Island - just around the corner from Ragged Island Retreat and Black Point Cottage.

Ruggedly beautiful, the immediate area is stunning and there is no shortage of exploring to be done. There is a natural beach just down the lane and a swimming spot known by locals as the 'deep hole', a short walk away. Close by are the beautiful Louis Head Beach and Crescent Beach.

It is about a 15 minute drive to the closest town of Lockeport. The historic town of Shelburne, known for its museums, restaurants, theatre and harbour is about 30 minutes by car. A little further afield are Liverpool and Lunenburg. It is a 2-hour drive to Halifax International Airport and 1.5 hours to the ferry terminal in Yarmouth.

Great spot for family and pets! Short walk down main road to private beach! Lots of beaches, lots of choices. Mary, July 2021

Great Stay -- Great cottage in a beautiful peaceful location. The cottage is comfortable, well equipped and has a great view of the ocean. Our only disappointment was that there was no bbq, other than that, it was wonderful and we'd definitely go back! L. Ayre, Nova Scotia, 2020

Wonderful! Wow, what a wonderful time we had! This beautiful cottage was exactly what we needed. The views are incredible and the amenities are so convenient. We stayed here for a couple of weeks in September. The weather was lovely and the surrounding environment was peaceful. We spent a lot of our time lounging on the main deck, observing the ocean and the wildlife. At nighttime the second level deck is an incredible place to view the stars. We played sports on the surrounding lawn and took walks (and swam!) at the nearby beaches. Great place for bike riding and jogging as there is little to no traffic. We were able to cook every meal at the cottage with a very well equipped kitchen. We especially loved having access to the extensive library both up and downstairs-lots of classics! Overall a fantastic place to reset and take it slow. C. Harlow, Nova Scotia, 2020

Peaceful south shore retreat with great views. Loved staying at Bright View. It is on a dirt road with only a couple of other houses on the same road, so very peaceful! Great open floor plan, bay window with view of the water. Highly recommended. J. Maloof, California September 2019

Our stay was absolutely amazing at this fabulous cottage. Beautiful house, beautiful beaches and total relaxation. Thanks Helen! Natasha, Chelsea, Canada, 2019

My Happy Place -- Fantastic beach, nice neighbors, Bright View Cottage is a great place to unwind and play board games with the kids and star gaze on the balcony with a glass of wine at night! S. Asprey, Quebec, Canada, 2018
