The cottage is in a great location. Nice relaxing drive to Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg because you’re right in the middle. Clean with everything you need to sit in and relax if that’s what you’re looking to do. Tim responded quickly with any questions that I had. Would highly recommend. Mike and LoriStoney Creek Ontario.

Clean and comfortable

Nice cottage and pleasant surroundings. Great surrounding amenities such as restaurants, gas station, pharmacy, etc. But, a bit further from Halifax than we anticipated. If not needing or wanting the city visits, it a very acceptable place to stay.

Would absolutely book this cottage again!

The cottage and property was perfect. What a great place to relax at the end of our 2 wk east coast road trip. A half hour after we arrived, we knew we wanted to extend our time here and fortunately the cottage was available for an extra night. Great location for day trips to peggy’s Cove, Halifax and Lunenburg. Beautiful place to relax after a day of touring. You Must go to the shore club for their lobster supper which is a 5 minute walk up the road.

Charming

My husband, parents and I stayed at the Rose Cottage and found it to be just charming and a perfect location between Halifax and Lunenburg. So quiet and peaceful and as advertised. Had we had just a few extra days it would have been perfect, so much to see in the area. Thanks to Tim for the extra accommodations! Will certainly return here if we get to the area again!

Lovely cottage

The cottage is a good size and nice location. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to take advantage of the bay and proximity to water with our 2 night stay. Also, be warned if Google Maps tries to direct you via Old Rock Road off 103 to get there. It was particularly challenging in the dark!

Were very glad you enjoyed your stay and yes there is a lot to do and see in the area and our cottage as you know is in a great location . We hope you come back to see the rest when you can. As for Google Maps, wow, I did not even know Old Rock Rd existed. It is not the way to come to Hubbards, you take either Exit 5A or Exit 6 off of the 103 Hwy, or take the Old #3 Rd.

Location was fantastic, cottage was cute but not very clean.

Dirty dishes under bed with dust bunnies, frying pan filthy, cupboards were dirty, floor was unclean, no hair dryer, bed sheets didn’t fit the sofa bed. Contact name and phone number was wrong. It was a little disappointing for the price/ night. By far the worse property rental I have ever had☹️

Perfect for 4!

Enjoyed staying at Rose Cottage. The location was great and the cottage very comfortable. The only disappointment was that I thought there would be a washer and dryer in the house. You had to go to another building and use a coin operated unit which was just not convenient for us to do. Other than that, it was great. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

A little piece of Heaven

Absolutely loved this cottage. It exceeded our expectations. The location, view were excellent. Everything was in working order and very comfortable. The decor was bright and cheerful. Great area in Hubbards for touring many south shore areas and restaurants. Nice having access to the pool and beach. You can also fish off the dock. Shore club offers a lobster supper for reasonable price and is just up the street. If it was for sale I would want to buy it. Didn't want to leave. Will definitely be making a return visit. I miss it already. We visited Aug27-30 2018
