Stayed Oct 10, 2025Very clean cottage with all the amenities you would need. We had a great supper at the rusty anchor, which is only a short drive away. Neighbours and dog barking across the street were loud at times when outside using the hot tub, but relaxing in the hot tub was still amazing. Overall, it was a very nice place to stay the night while we explored the Cabot trail.

Stayed May 21, 2025We really enjoyed this quaint little cottage in Pleasant Bay, Cape Breton. It is in a very convenient stopping point along the Cabot Trail. The cottage is well appointed and having a private hot tub was an added bonus, especially to warm up in the cold weather. Hosts Elizabeth & Brian were very responsive.

Stayed Sep 15, 2025Had lots of dishes, equipment for an overnight stay. After you pulled out the hide a bed, there was not much room left in the cottage. Would be best for a single or a couple that did not need the extra bed.

Stayed Jul 8, 2025We had a great stay at the cottage while visiting Pleasant Bay. If you're hoping to go whale watching, this location is very close to a couple of whale watching companies. Literally just minutes away. We loved the private hot tub after a big day of various activities, including hiking.

Stayed Aug 12, 2024The Mactoimin Cottage was perfect for us. We were out early every morning for hikes and back late in the day. A couple days we were back early for coffee on the porch and soaks in the hot tub. Heavenly. The best part perhaps was that we were three minutes from the sunsets on the beach! Stunning. We did not do any cooking, other than coffee. I was a wee bit surprised how close to the road we were, but there were barely any cars that went by. The owners were so kind, even when I called one night at 8:30 p.m. to report I had lost the key on one of our hikes! Very gracious. The place worked perfectly for us, and we wouldn't hesitate to return.
