Potter's Cottage on Beautiful property in Lovely Margaree Valley

Great location when you come to fish the Margaree River or for an overnight stay when touring. Building and grounds are good for children with lots of space and set back from the road. If you don’t cook you need to drive 25 minutes or so to go for evening meal.My only critique of the cottage would be that in my opinion the beds need eventual upgrading.

A beautiful retreat! My sister and I loved this warm, cozy, artistic home. The kitchen backsplash tiles were amazing! We loved having these attractions very nearby: music at the Barn-Normaway Inn, Margaret Harbor Beach, The Dancing Goat cafe and bakery, the Salmon Museum, and two Macs for locally made gifts!

Very nice house in a quiet peaceful area near the river. The only negative is the distance to find a restaurant.

Lovely cottage, very secluded and quiet area. Ample room to accommodate everyone in the house. Nice layout of the place and great selection of amenities!

We had a wonderful stay at Potter’s Cottage. We felt right at home with the charming and lived in decor. Beds were comfortable, there were plenty of towels, lots of space for our clothes in the rooms, and the kitchen was well equipped. We definitely recommend this place for its nostalgic vibes and peaceful location.

A charming, cozy cottage that provided both a great base for exploring Cape Breton and a comfortable place to relax in the evening with my daughter and her college friends. Highly recommended :-)

The property was very well maintained and spacious. A great to call home for a few days. We would definitely return.

This charming house has a few quirks due to age and design but the location is close to groceries, cafés, an art gallery, the Cabot Trail and activities. Music fans will be a short drive from the Normaway Inn and the Barn. A great base if you are most interested in exploring.

All good but could use a new mattress in the 1st floor bedroom.

Spacious home for 4 adult sisters; all had own sleep space; kitchen well equipped for meal prep; enjoyed option to take meals at table in covered porch. Stewart very responsive to any queries. Check in/check out simple and convenient.

Too expensive for what the place offers. It's very old, but functional. However, there is no water when the electricity is out, which was the case. A century-old house with equipment from the 80s. Also, we had to ask for smoke detectors to be installed. This was done the day after our arrival. Furthermore, some interior doors are locked from the outside, which scared my daughter! In short, too expensive, yes too expensive, for a clean place, but only adequate.

We had a lovely stay at Potter’s Cottage. It’s a great base from which to explore the beaches, trails, and towns in the area.

My husband, our 13 year old daughter and I used the cabin da our home base to visit Cape Brenton and the Cabot Trail. With some longer days driving and sight seeing the Potter’s Cottage was a cozy space to return to. The property is gorgeous, with a creek nearby and the home was well maintained and equipped for our family. It was a good start to our time in NS.

I want to live there

What an amazing spot!!Enjoyed our stay.

A wonderful weekend with friends fishing the Margaree. A great home with everything you need in a wonderful location.

Great location whether fishing or simply touring. Only a few minutes from the Cabot Trail. If you don’t wish to cook the Dancing Goat is a few minutes away for breakfast and lunch. Evening meals are 20 to 30 minutes away. Spacious downstairs where you can relax and plan your next day.

Great property, clean and comfortable cottage.

Property was very clean, very comfortable. Location somewhat out of the way for our purposes but overall very enjoyable

The cottage was perfect for us - great central location, informative welcome notebook, towels aplenty, well-supplied kitchen, and lovely hosts. Easy start point for day trips on the Cabot Trail and Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

Property was very nice and host was super responsive. However, a couple of things were not

The cottage is the perfect base for exploring the valley and the coast. The host was helpflu and communicative and we would absolutely come back.

Cozy and charming cottage, perfect for our first family vacation in the region! We had plenty of space to hang out, were able to prepare meals with ease and were well situated to explore cities and beaches near by! Most beds were very comfortable. Rustic charm at it’s best!

we enjoyed a very relaxing stay in Margaree Valley at Stewart's place. it's well situated for visiting the Park, roughly an hour from the Skyline Trail, and also close to beautiful beaches (Whale Cove was a highlight), local establishments (The Normaway Inn, Old Miller Trout Farm), and other nearby towns of note (Inverness and Mabou). being there during a bit of a warm spell, it was helpful to have an A/C unit in one of the bedrooms. the 1 bathroom is located downstairs, so the bedrooms upstairs didn't have immediate access, but that was easy to accommodate. the kitchen is a bit rustic but had everything we needed--we really appreciated pantry essentials being available. Stewart shared lots of good suggestions for things to do/see/eat, and we were happy to have Bell stop by for a brief hello.

Good location and quiet

We enjoyed our stay at the Potter's Cottage. It was the perfect location for our three days travelling around the Cabot Trail. The cottage kitchen is well equipped with all things culinary. The only thing we didn't have with us was shampoo. They provided fresh linens and towels. We enjoyed the use of the oven, washer, and dryer. Lovely, quiet retreat.
