The Crooked Cottage
A very beautiful, relaxing location. The cottage was fully equipped and so well stocked with everything we could imagine or ever need on a stay. Loved the view from the covered deck of the water and the local animal life {rabbits, squirrels and several species of birds including a couple of raptors.

North Coast
The cottage was nicely appointed. All amenities were top notch. Lots of beaches to visit. Location was good as we were visiting friends Unfortunately the look-out that is pictured to watch the sunsets is blocked by 15 feet of heavy trees. The bed was more like a futon not a mattress and these old bones were in protest. The water is not potable which we were not informed about until after the final payment was made to VRBO (not cool), bottled water was provided but we didn’t know that until we arrived (we travelled with water). Overall, it was an ok stay but it could have been better. I would recommend this cottage if these problems were addressed.

Great Getaway Stay
We really liked Crooked Cottage…it was a nice location,vey peaceful and relaxing. The cottage had everything we needed for cooking our own meals. Short drive to a nice beach and grocery stores in both directions.The veranda on the cottage was great…a nice place to sit and soak up the view. The owner Catherine was easily accessible…checked with us to see how things were going… We would definitely go back as it was a most enjoyable spot.

Lovely little cottage
The cottage was a great place to stay and relax and unwind. Great ambience. It’s well provisioned for summer with lots of cookware, bedding, candles, bbq ietc. and is located on a lovely piece of property above the red sandstone cliffs. Other than challenging cell coverage (but good WiFi) it was a great place to stay.

The Crooked Cottage Experience
We were pleased with the Cottage, but it would have been better if it was a little bigger and they cleared the high grass and bushes at the water's edge of the property for a better view of the ocean etc. We had technical issues with my husbands phone so could not contact the owners or manager. Now if I had their email I could have used my laptop to contact all, so it isn't the property owners fault. We live in the country so we know how to take care of everything. Overall the Cottage was perfect for us, for what we needed to do in P.E.I.

A chilly week in Tignish
Very comfortable cottage perfect set up for our needs. We had a bad weather week so we could not enjoy the outside amenities of the cottage. We found plenty of interesting sights and activities to keep us busy. Enjoyed interacting with the locals who often seemed to become instant friends. Would definitely return!

Great Escape
Beautiful property. Very quiet on cliff overlooking the gulf. Clean and comfortable for a couple. We picked up our groceries in Summerside after crossing the bridge and were set for a week. Golf nearby and day trips with picnic are a must. Recommend driving north to the tip and walking the the 5K trial at the lighthouse. Would stay again and recommend.

The Crooked Cottage is a little peace of paradise on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The property is peaceful and the birds and few rabbits that show up are a part of that state. Ocean is just off in the distance with many beaches to visit close by the Cottage. The unscreened deck is a bonus feature to the property with lots of shade by mid morning. For the purpose of my visit, the Crooked Cottage was a fine place to stay.

A little piece of heaven
A very nice place to spend some time in quiet and nature, with the ocean at the bottom of the backyard! This small but mighty cottage was very well equipped and really lacked for nothing.. Only one quibble and maybe this will come in time but it would be great if that lovely porch was screened in. A great place to while away the time except for the mosquitoes. In the meantime, pack some insect repellent!
