The closest motel to Peggy’s Cove. It is located on the water with a patio area near the water. The rooms overlook the water. Some have outside decks directly off the room. No restaurants nearby or not in early September. Reduced hours due to off season. We ordered pizza from a flyer that was in the room. Great pizza!!!

Location and view say it all for this motel. You can watch gorgeous sunsets right from your room or from the chairs located in the back by the water. Room was clean, spacious, and relaxing. Great towels. And just down the road from Peggy’s Cove. It was perfect!

Love it!

We stayed in one of the hotel rooms, with a queen bed. The rooms are furnished with furniture that is quite old and mismatched, but if you can get past this, it is a great place. It was super clean, and the bathroom feels a bit more modern than the rest of the room. The bed was super comfy with a thick, modern duvet/doona- much better than the other budget hotels we have been staying in. The view is lovely, even from the motel rooms.
