We had high expectations of this seaside cottage—and we were not disappointed! We were blessed with 6 days of crystal clear skies, outstanding mountain views, and parades of seabirds, including harlequin ducks, various loons and lots of gulls. A sea otter rested on a nearby rock and devoured a big hunk of fish. Herons squawked at us as they flew overhead. An eagle hung out nearby occasionally. Walking a nearby trail, we saw (and heard) whales spouting. The cottage was clean, cozy, comfortable and quiet. When we weren’t out hiking (or enjoying the pub at Heriot Bay), we spent hours on the deck just gazing. We enjoyed evenings playing Scrabble. Our host, Sam, was super hospitable. She brought us tomatoes from her garden, and even some cod cheeks that we cooked for dinner one evening. We were thoroughly delighted by our stay at the cottage—highly recommended!
