We
have holidayed at Periwinkle Cottage for the last four years. Each
visit is like coming home, with the warmest of welcomes from our hosts
Tom and Ann Murdoch. We come for the sailing in St. Margaret’s Bay, but
we also enjoy the sea-kayaking, walking trails, shopping in Chester and
Mahone Bay, and fine seafood dining. At Colwells’s Cottages, we are
only 45 minutes away from Halifax or Lunenburg, but the best part is
really relaxing in our comfy cottage, taking in the view of our beach
from the deck, shopping at the local farmer’s market, and feeling like
we belong. Nancy Krygsman and Terry Lee Toronto
Colwell's By the Sea
is in a perfect location for touring Nova Scotia. A half hour south you
have Lunenburg and Mahone Bay with their picturesque streets and
interesting shops, and a half hour north you have Halifax. The drive
south along the coast is beautiful with many photo opportunities.
Colwell's By the Sea offers a price and property that are fantastic.
The cottages are comfortable and provide everything you could need in a
home away from home, including an ocean front view! CW - Minneapolis, MN
There
is no need to look anywhere else if you are searching for a
comfortable, well appointed cottage adjacent to a beautiful sandy beach
on the South Shore. The views are spectacular, and if the beach isn't
enough to keep you occupied, the cottages are within an easy hour's
drive of each of Halifax, Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg and the Annapolis
Valley. Tom and Ann run a top-notch operation, with friendly attentive
service and easy conversation. We have stayed here more than once and
will be back again soon. There is no finer spot than this and our kids
love it, too. G and LG, Calgary, Alberta
My husband and I were
delighted with our accommodations at "Colwell's by the Sea". Ann and
Tom Murdock were wonderful hosts. The cleanliness and attention to
every detail in our darling "Periwinkle" cottage were outstanding. The
kitchen was fully equipped with all I needed, the bedrooms, living area
and bath were cozy and tastefully decorated. I especially loved the
knotty pine panels,the cobblestone fireplace and nautical porthole
window that overlooks the sea shore. The bath even had a jacuzzi tub
which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was so nice to come back to such a warm
and inviting cottage after a long day of sight seeing and hearing the
waves lulled us to sleep every night. Colwell's is close to Peggy's
Cove, which was more beautiful than I had imagined, also close was
Halifax, where we went to the Maritime Museum, complete with Titanic
artifacts, and the CSS Arcadia, which was built in 1913 and was used
in hypography(charting the depths) which was fascinating. The museum
is a must see along with Mahone Bay and The Fisheries of the Atlantic
museum at Old Lunenberg, definite jewels along the coastline. These
towns are so picturesque, absolutely postcard perfect! We also drove
the Aspotogan peninsula where we took in all the quaint fishing
villages with breathtaking views around every corner. We enjoyed every
meal we ate in Nova Scotia, too, especially the mussels! We had a
memorable 32ND wedding anniversary trip and staying at "Colwell's by
the Sea" was the very best choice we could have made. We hope to come
back again soon. We recommend Colwell's highly! LM&KM Rochester, NY
