Wonderful stay at Sandy Cove Cottage near Chester. General location is perfect for exploring Nova Scotia's south shore in all directions. Day trips SW to the seaside parks north to Halifax and NW to the Annapolis Valley's vineyards all easy day trips in addition to the nearby historic and charming towns of Chester, Mahone Bay etc. Bike rentals in M Bay and Hubbards for the Rails to Trails bike route running for almost 200 km and then there are the quiet coastal roads to bike or drive as well. Cottage is a cozy place with everything needed for a short or long stay. We cooked in half the time and ate out the rest. Wood all around except for a sitting room and the master bedroom which have lots of glass and light. Bring an eye-mask or you'll be up with the sun every day not that this is the end of the world! A few wildlife sitings, birds, flowers, a kayak and dock. Small sandy/gravel beach nearby. On a back bay i.e. not right on the outer (exposed) coastline. Extremely quiet which you'll notice immediately if you're from a city. A wonderful quiet. That said, the wifi is good so you can check out activities and restaurants easily. Chester golf course is a jewel. Nova Scotia wines (white mostly) and craft beers are excellent. Lots of very kind offers of info / ideas from the owner and the folks looking after the cabin. Highly recommend this place!
