Tripadvisor is a great tool for finding nice places to stay. We stayed at several recommended places on a recent trip with great success. We found the reviews to be very accurate. But our visit to this motel was a disappointing exception. Based upon prior reviews we were eagerly looking forward to a planned three night visit. We arrived (on... More

We spent one night at Big-Lake Motel in Peggy's Cove on October 8th 2011 and we really enjoyed our stay. A clean, comfortable, quiet little motel with great hospitality, situated on the edge of a beautiful lake. Included a delicious continental breakfast served in the cosy little restaurant. The view from the balcony was absolutely stunning. A great place to... More

Stumbled on this place late at night. The owner wasn't there but his daughter was managing it with a friend. It was the best place I stayed in our week in Nova Scotia. Nicely appointed room. great deck overlooking Big Lake.for breakfast in the morning. surrounded by trees and very serene. Sorry we only had time for a single night... More

This is a fantastically clean and comfortable motel just 5-10 mins from Peggy's Cove along the gorgeous lighthouse route. The motel is literally built right on the edge of the lake (actually more of a large pond), and the view from the balcony is absolutely stunning. A very talkative and friendly host will make you feel well at home! Free... More

Just finished 3 night stay. This hotel/motel is perfect for those who want to see the sites and take in the attractions. They are about 10 mins from Peggy's Cove and as close as 15 mins from some championship golf courses. Halifax is 30 mins away, Lunenburg 40 min and Liverpool an hour. You can't have a better location to... More

I just got back from a small trip arround Nova Scotia, and i have to say that this place was one of my favourite places. At first i wanted to sleep in a hotel near the sea but after seeing this place i just didn't need to look anymore. The view could not be decribed in words, we came on... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night and the owner was very obviously not ready for guests yet. We arrived around 3:00 to check in and found a note on the door saying that someone would be there in a half-hour. Because it was raining and we had been driving since early that morning, we opted to wait... More

My wife and me picked the place by a chance. We were passing by and were attracted by the outstanding landscape view and the unique location of this motel. We have booked ourselves for one night but stayed more than a week. Everything was excellent - primarily the hospitality by the owner and his lovely dauther. Breakfasts were great and... More

I stayed at Big Lake Motel in August 2009 with my girlfriend for 3 nights. We saw a few other places around, but once we got there we just knew that we had to stay. We were welcomed by a young lady who was extremely nice and helpful. Our room was overlooking the clear water of Big Lake. The view... More
