Top Western Shore Hotel Reviews

Atlantic View Motel and Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Such a quaint retro-looking motel with a real 70’s vibe on the exterior. However, upon opening the door you’re greeted with a modern, recently renovated sea-side retreat! The living quarters are conveniently compact with a very kitchen, table and chairs and a little couch. A blanket is set out on the couch to cozy up under while sitting out front enjoying the evening. The suite holds a very spacious bedroom. The bed is extremely comfortable (both of us have old and bad backs) and the bed linens are of nice quality. The picnic tables out front and the Adirondack chairs outside the suite really add to the charm. I would 100% recommend this quaint little hide-away to anyone. "

Stunning villa at the beautiful Oak Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Le logement était plus grand que ce que je voyais sur l'annonce. La grandeur était parfaite pour notre famille de 5. La vue sur la marina était incroyable! Les enfants ont adorés qu'on puisse profiter de toutes les activités de l'hôtel. Petit bémol, le plancher aurait pu être plus propre et il serait intéressant d'avoir une plus grande table pour les repas. Je recommande grandement ce logement qui est très bien situé entre Halifax et Lunenburg."
