Absolutely amazing!! Already booking for next year! Honestly, what is not to love. Great location, great beach, great people, great food. Just arrive, hide your car keys and enjoy the best time you can imagine.
We have been coming to Rosewood Cottages for years. First time in the Rose Cottage and we loved it. Thank you again for a lovely vacation.

Nice cottage and pleasant surroundings. Great surrounding amenities such as restaurants, gas station, pharmacy, etc. But, a bit further from Halifax than we anticipated. If not needing or wanting the city visits, it a very acceptable place to stay.

The cottage and property was perfect. What a great place to relax at the end of our 2 wk east coast road trip. A half hour after we arrived, we knew we wanted to extend our time here and fortunately the cottage was available for an extra night.
Great location for day trips to peggy’s Cove, Halifax and Lunenburg.
Beautiful place to relax after a day of touring. You Must go to the shore club for their lobster supper which is a 5 minute walk up the road.

Hi Sue
So glad to hear your east coast tour went well and thank you for the comments about our cottage. We feel very much like you , Rose the cottage , is located in an excellent community, Hubbards, and within Hubbards Rose is locates in the place you want to be. We hope to see you here soon again Tim
Good location...close to sites
Unforeseen health issues kept us away for first week...owner rented 3days to someone else at our location and did not return our money for those day's...
My husband, parents and I stayed at the Rose Cottage and found it to be just charming and a perfect location between Halifax and Lunenburg. So quiet and peaceful and as advertised. Had we had just a few extra days it would have been perfect, so much to see in the area. Thanks to Tim for the extra accommodations! Will certainly return here if we get to the area again!

Lovely cottage
The cottage is a good size and nice location. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to take advantage of the bay and proximity to water with our 2 night stay. Also, be warned if Google Maps tries to direct you via Old Rock Road off 103 to get there. It was particularly challenging in the dark!

Were very glad you enjoyed your stay and yes there is a lot to do and see in the area and our cottage as you know is in a great location . We hope you come back to see the rest when you can. As for Google Maps, wow, I did not even know Old Rock Rd existed. It is not the way to come to Hubbards, you take either Exit 5A or Exit 6 off of the 103 Hwy, or take the Old #3 Rd.
Location was fantastic, cottage was cute but not very clean.
Dirty dishes under bed with dust bunnies, frying pan filthy, cupboards were dirty, floor was unclean, no hair dryer, bed sheets didn’t fit the sofa bed. Contact name and phone number was wrong. It was a little disappointing for the price/ night. By far the worse property rental I have ever had☹️
Simple from booking to getting into the unit. We arrived on a cold February day and the cottage was so warm and toasty which made it feel extra cozy. It was clean and had everything we needed!

Perfect for 4!
Enjoyed staying at Rose Cottage. The location was great and the cottage very comfortable. The only disappointment was that I thought there would be a washer and dryer in the house. You had to go to another building and use a coin operated unit which was just not convenient for us to do. Other than that, it was great. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

A little piece of Heaven
Absolutely loved this cottage. It exceeded our expectations. The location, view were excellent. Everything was in working order and very comfortable. The decor was bright and cheerful. Great area in Hubbards for touring many south shore areas and restaurants. Nice having access to the pool and beach. You can also fish off the dock.
Shore club offers a lobster supper for reasonable price and is just up the street. If it was for sale I would want to buy it. Didn't want to leave. Will definitely be making a return visit. I miss it already.

We are a family of four and we have a cottage of our own in Hubbards. We love it there, it is so close to the beaches and we think everyone should enjoy Hubbards
Why they chose this property
Rosewood Cottages are Ground Zero if you want to stay in the Hubbards area and not have to worry about driving everywhere.
The Tuna Blue Inn, Restaurant and Marina complete with Beer Garden on the ocean is directly next door.
The Shore Club Dance Hall and Lobster Dinners are a slow 2 minute saunter away.
Hubbards Beach is a little further.... more like a 6 minute saunter.
Queensland Beach..... 5 minute drive
Grocery Store, Gas Station, Liquor Store, more restaurants all within a 5 minute drive or less.
What makes this property unique
Location, Location, Location.
Also, the most comfortable cottages, ( not a wood cabin with rustic 1940's furniture and reduced amenities) with the best amenities, the best ocean frontage, large dock with Gazebo on the ocean and swimming pool.
Other than that ...nothing.
