--- Welcome to the Periwinkle Cottage ---
Discover the perfect family-friendly escape at our charming cottage nestled along the serene shores of St. Margaret's Bay in Nova Scotia. This cozy retreat, just a scenic 35-minute drive from Halifax International Airport, offers a delightful blend of comfort and seaside allure.
Whether you're planning a tranquil getaway or a family adventure, our cottage, located a mere 1 km from Queensland Beach Provincial Park, provides the ideal setting. Explore the wonders of the provincial park through invigorating hikes and beachcombing adventures, perfect for collecting seashells with the little ones. Embrace the joy of paddleboarding and kayaking for a splash of excitement, or, in winter, revel in the thrill of snowmobiling.
Step into the cottage, where warmth and relaxation await. Sink into the plush couch, offering a front-row seat to the rhythmic waves lapping at the shore, a soothing lullaby for both daytime and nighttime repose. Venture outside to witness the sun's farewell, followed by a captivating display of stars, all enjoyed alongside a crackling campfire. Don't forget to bring an ample supply of firewood and adhere to local burning restrictions for a safe and enjoyable experience.
Our accommodations include two bedrooms: one with a king bed and one with a queen. The sofa also pulls out, so we can accommodate up to five people. The accommodations also include a fully equipped kitchen, dining area inside or out, fire pit, and a BBQ grill on the deck.
Create cherished family memories by the sea at our enchanting cottage, where the comforts of home meet the magic of coastal living.
