A hidden gem

We booked Clifty last minute as a decision to stay out of the city on our way to Lunenburg. What a wonderful stay. Friendly check-in with a map of the area provided..and recommendations for food. Water bottles provided, and so amazing to wake up seeing the ocean outside your window. Was a very peaceful and quiet evening.

The staff are very welcoming, friendly and easy to approach. The view is amazing and very quiet and nearby the light house and family grocery store. The room itself is very cozy, equied with small fridge, microwave, dining counter with 2 chairs and Kuurig coffee machine. The owner she’s so sweet and helpful. Suggestion: a kettle to make tea would be amazing.

Great Oceanview close to Peggy's Cove Lighthouse

Great ocean view room very close to Peggy's Cove Lighthouse so I could drive a few minutes and visit the Lighthouse at sunset and in the morning. Close to a grocery store and restaurant and Swissair memorial. The room was spacious and very comfortable with a fridge, microwave and kettle.

Great location to Peggy Cove and all room s are facing ocean. The room was very spacious and bar like table was very useful. One thing to point out is water. It took super long to complete shower or washing face due to very slippery water (must be super alkaline water). Just be patient to remove all spinal out of body.
