Holiday houses in Pleasant Bay

We love our stay in Rose's Apartment at the Salty Rose and Periwinkle Cafe. The décor was tasteful, the bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking basic meals - a must when visiting during the off-season when most restaurants are closed. Sarabath and Caitlyn provided clear instructions on how to access the apartment, and left some nice little touches such as soap from the neighboring soap-maker. Our only disappointment was that we couldn't enjoy a latte and pastry at the Periwinkle Cafe, as it had closed for the seasons a few days prior. But that's on us for visiting at the end of October when tourist season is done. We would 100% recommend the apartment to other travelers!

This was an amazing experience right off the bat! We were able to check in a little early which was extremely convenient. Right away we were informed that there was complimentary gelato and coffee with our stay! The gelato was absolutely delicious - we tried both the chocolate hazelnut and vanilla bean. You absolutely need to visit the farm animals and feed the goats, they are hilarious. The room was perfect and was absolutely spotless. Shannon was a great host and we would definitely recommend you stay here if you are travelling Cabot Trail.

Roland's place was wonderful! I spent two nights (with my mother, and our toy poodle) but wished we couldve stayed longer. The farmhouse was full of character, clean, comfortable, and we could tell that a lot of effort has been put into maintaining and improving it. My favourite features were the wood panelling on the walls upstairs and the clay fireplace, which kept the house warm and cozy. The beds were comfy, the towels in the bathroom were super soft, and the kitchen was well-stocked with all the essentials. The wifi and smart TV worked great. We didn't get to make use of the deck due to the rain and fog, but on a clear day/night it would be wonderful to enjoy a meal, watch the sunrise, or stargaze. The property around the house was beautiful - lots of birds singing, a big grassy yard, and an A-frame cabin off to one side, all surrounded by trees. There's an art gallery/shop just down the road that's definitely worth a visit too! - Jen, Jane, and Rosie

We never did meet Amber so did not comment on personal interaction with her. certainly all was as described. Pleasant Bay has a very limited selection of supplies so plan accordingly. We were appreciative of the early check in.

What a fantastic find, a little slice of heaven in Cape Breton! The cabin is modern with a large comfortable bed, sofa, TV and kitchen with a dining table and a modern bathroom. The location is great about 5mins from the Cabot Trail with loads of great hikes / places to explore. Claudia and Randy were lovely hosts and introduced us to their chickens and provided a couple of eggs for breakfast. I would 100% reccomend a stay here and will be back next time I'm visiting Cape Breton! Thanks again!

Loved my stay at Meat Cove campground, and super happy about getting a cabin with some windy weather overnight. Great spot to hike around a little bit, super friendly staff, and so nice just be out comfortably in a gorgeous middle of nowhere location. I may never make it back, but all the more glad I came out here, 100% worth the trip. If you’re thinking about it, just do it.

Very nice and cozy. The decor was really nice. Felt right at home. Last night of our trip and it didn't disappoint. Denis and Lorraine

Priyanka was fantastic. Traveling to the Cape Breton Highlands in the middle of February can have its challenges. The weather did not want to cooperate but Priyanka and her caretakers sure did. There was a power outage prior to our arrival so we were expecting it to be cold and dark. To our surprise the house was bright and warm as they had a generator up and running allowing us to fully enjoy our first evening. The caretaker of the property continually checked on us, kept the driveway cleared and when the weather cleared, made sure we had access to all of the outdoor amenities. We were able to walk the never ending beach and were left speechless at the incredible views. There are very few places on earth that can offer the feeling of being on that beach and looking into the mountains and out to sea in the heart of winter. I hope we get the opportunity to return!! To say Priyanka and her staff go above and beyond would be an understatement! Thank you for a spectacular weekend!
