Our stay at Lesley and Dennis’s cozy cottage was sublime.
There is a view of the Bay of Fundy. Beach access for walking at low tide. Quiet. A fire pit and grill if you are outdoorsy. A full, functional eat-in kitchen with plenty of utensils to actually cook! Coffee, tea, sugar, salt & pepper, a few spices. Great washer and dryer. Two nice bedrooms with queen size beds, and a comfy living room with tv and fast WiFi.
We were traveling without our (now grown) kids, but there was a cabinet filled with family-friendly board games and art activities and a lending library of books.
There are also some lovely Canadian travel and picture books (that stay at the house) for further inspiration.
Deadman’s Harbour and Black’s Harbour and Beaver Harbour are small but tenacious fishing communities with a ferry to Grand Manan Island, Connor’s cannery, and a lovely lighthouse.
Historic (more touristed) St. Andrew’s is a short drive away, and St John is just a bit further if you need a taste of the city. We had an enormous fish lunch up the road at Comeau’s.
We couldn’t have had a better time while staying at Lesley and Dennis’s. Thank you!
