Absolutely darling property on the water in Peggy’s Cove. Very clean, beautiful view and gracious staff. We highly recommend you stay at Clifty Cove. We stayed in The Delta Hotel in St. John the previous night, and while good, it could not hold a candle to this amazing setting. And, it was less than half the price. Wish we could have stayed longer!

The location was perfect. We were close to Peggys cove and the Memorial. The host was very kind and helpful. The room had plenty of space, nice shower, coffee maker and AC. There was ample parking, with a lovely seating area on the cove. The room looked like it got a nice recent update. We had everything we needed for our stay.

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.

Property is very dated. Bathroom has been updated but is very small with very tiny shelf for our personal toiletries. No housekeeping. No clean towels until we asked at office. Expensive place to stay for such a dated property. Would not recommend. There appear to be nicer properties around for the price.
