Guest Testimonials

Thank-you for sharing this peaceful spot.  We had a wonderful week here.

Great cottage, sunny, quiet, tranquility.  Quietest cottage we have ever stayed at.  Went down Blanche Rd. to the end (about 10 min. from the cottage) and walked the beach and rocks at low tide.  Saw a colony of seals barking on rocks.  Don't miss Cape Forchu outside of Yarmouth, Outstanding.  Compliments on keeping the natural setting

Willow Cove Cottage is a beautiful clean and thoughtfully equipped house – and delightful location too.  Thank you.  Our first trip to Nova Scotia and definitely not our last.

What a lovely place to spend our week here in Nova Scotia.!  The view of the harbour is spectacular.  We've enjoyed a glorious week of Indian Summer traveling along the lighthouse trail. A few favourite slights were Peggy's Cove and Mahone Bay and the Saturday morning Farmer's Market in Halifax.  Enjoying a soak in the hot tub after driving all day was so relaxing.  Great week!

Founders Days

The talented local band, Heavy Water, perform to the delight of the crowd.
This is one of the many booths and displays that line Dock Street during Shelburne's Founders Days festival.

Description

In the spring of 1783, 3000 United Empire Loyalists escaped the American Revolution and settled on the shores of Shelburne Harbour. With the promise of free land, tools and provisions, and the protection of the British Crown, four hundred families associated to form a town of Shelburne. 

Founders Days Festival celebrates our history and heritage.  Events include a Regimental Re-Enactment, Eighteenth Century Dances, canoe jousting and Dory races; a Yacht Regatta, a "Parade of Lights" and a Coastal Oldies Car Show. There are fireworks, face painting and of course, lots of toe tapping music.
