We booked this cottage sight unseen on August 16 2008 based on information through the "Check In Reservation System" located within a Tourist Info Building in Pictou Nova Scotia. The reservation was for that night, guaranteed with a credit card and so there was no canc policy in effect. Upon arriving at the site, we realized that the "cottage" was actually in a Campground, but not advertised as such...also the property was overcharging us from the rate they themselves had guaranteed in the official Nova Scotia "doers and dreamers 2008 Guide". Total misrepresentation, and when we asked them to kindly release us from the guaranteed reservation, they refused. We did not stay there and found other suitable accomodations nearby and decided to take our chances that they would relent and not put the credit card charge through. Just received our bank statement, and the charge is there. So we are not embroiled in a Credit card dispute.
