This small (16 units), family-run motel is a gem. The rooms are clean, spacious, well-appointed, with free WiFi and parking at your front door. The views from the windows are spectacular. It is an oceanfront location, within walking distance from Peggy's Cove and nearby restaurants. The new young European innkeeper is charming and understands the meaning of hospitality....she and her... More

We stayed at this roadside Motel by the ocean for one night. The room was spacious and comfortable, the bed very comfortable and the bathroom well-appointed. Very clean, with free wi-fi and coffee service and a very friendly staff/owner. This is a great spot to watch the local fishermen bring in their catch and then sit by the ocean to... More

Stayed at the Clifty Cove in sept. of 2012. The motel is located close to Peggy's Cove, so that would be a plus even if the owners weren't so great. We were on a motorcycle and the weather was wet. I was having cell phone trouble and needed to do some business communications the owners were more than accommodating .... More

I've stayed at the Clifty Cove 3-4 times over 20 years and love the place. It's not fancy but it's super clean, comfortable and the sound of the sea from your room is soothing. The view from your window offers great sunsets. The lady who operates the motel is very helpful and kind. Super location, close to everything in the... More

I enjoyed my four night stay atThe Clifty Cove while I visited family in Indian Harbor. The view out the oceanside windows is of a little harbor including fishing village and island. The ocean air can be let in and the sound of waves on a rocky shore ensure a great nights sleep on a comfortable bed. The operators and... More

Clifty Cove was just want we wanted. A beautiful view from our room, with chairs on the bluff for viewing the water, boats and birds. There were also chairs on the opposite side of the rooms. The hostess was especially nice. She made a small fire out on the bluff and invited guests. We really enjoyed the evening. The room... More

We were going to stay just a night and ended up staying two. We loved the view, right on the water with amazing sunsets. Owners had a fire pit on the rocks in the evening everyone was welcome to join. First night the owners mum (visiting for the summer) cooked us all sausages, second night we brought marshmallows. If that... More

While it is not fancy the staff were friendly and it was close to Peggy's Cove. Fantastic view at sunset. Chairs were available to watch the sunset and the motel was very comfortable. We will definitely return and I have told others about this great facility.

We selected this motel from the "Doers & Dreamers" guide for our last night in Nova Scotia because it was one of the few in the Peggy's Cove area and in our price range. From the description I expected an older motel probably across the road from the water - one that would provide shelter and not much more. What... More

This was a gem of a find. The room was very simple and tasteful, so clean and comfortable. Yasmilla (I hope I am spelling her name correctly), the owner, was very warm and friendly and accomodating, making sure we had everything we needed. The ocean view and the sunsets we saw on the two nights we stayed were stunning. I... More
