10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at 8 Island View Cottage was perfect. Chelsi was responsive and helpful throughout every step of our booking and stay. She answered our questions and gave recommendations of things to do. The cottage is great and was very clean. The large hottub was so helpful in loosening our aches and pains after a day of scouring the beeches. The views are breathtaking and unmatched by any place we have stayed. The ability to blend relaxation with outdoor activities made our stay very memorable. Parrsboro is a great small town. Most of your necessities can be covered by the stores in town plus there are some other nice shops focusing on original creative works and antiques. Make sure to get to Partridge Island. We had so much fun beachcombing there. Our pretty rock collection has blossomed."
"This is the most amazing place. A hidden gem. We only had a reservation for one night. We couldn't extend as the Cresthaven was booked which was unfortunate for my husband and me. Cathrine and Warren, our hosts, went out of their way to make our stay the very best. We arrived late in the evening. The local restaurant was closed. The next nearest place was over a half hour away. Cathrine volunteered to make us a chicken salad for dinner instead of us driving to the nearest town. That was so sweet and unexpected. The next morning at breakfast Warren fed us a breakfast that stayed with us most of the day. He had coffee with us; we talked about our plans and Warren offered wonderful suggestions which we took. Between the offer of dinner, the previous night and tips on what to do that day things couldn't have been better. Already planning our next trip to Cresthaven and believe me, we will stay more than one night. Plenty to see and do. But the best part was probably sitting on the porch, watching the eagles and the tide going down on the Shubenacadie River while enjoying a glass of Canadian wine."
