Fodor's Expert Review Oceanstone Seaside Resort
8650 Peggy's Cove Rd., Indian Harbour, Nova Scotia, B3Z 3P4, Canada Fodor's Choice
Resembling a traditional seaside hamlet, Oceanstone's cluster of buildings sits picturesquely on the shore of St. Margaret's Bay. The attractive interiors are accented with antique pine, barn board, and other salvaged materials. In addition to the lovely rooms in the main inn, private cottage rentals are available. Tranquillity is the draw here—guests watch buoys bob, comb the small beach, and stroll the woodland path on the 18-acre property. On-site restaurant Rhubarb is exceptional, with a large patio and serving wonderful brunches.
