Our cottage was the perfect place for families to vacation. With two bedrooms equipped with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds a family of four can rest comfortably. Loved having a mini-fridge, a patio, a bathtub (perfect for bathing two beach loving boys!) and separate bedrooms for the adults and kids. Clean towels were brought daily and we were just a short walk to the main building where breakfast was served, board games were available and a few steps from a great kids climber and sandbox. It seemed at every turn at Shaw’s family came first. With so many family activities and perfect accommodations it was like taking a trip to a family cottage rather than a vacation resort.
For the adventurer or person craving more than a quiet spot to relax, there are many options near the Shaw’s Hotel. Water toys, activities, and their own private beach are all offered with your accommodations. There are also many local places for crafting, bicycle rides, walking trails, and more within a short distance of the Shaw’s Hotel. There is never a shortage of activities, and are even some fun things for kids to enjoy.
For any foodie visiting this location, they won’t be disappointed. From the classic seafood menu expected on the coast, to a traditional kids menu that will please any picky eater, they have just what you want. A continental breakfast featuring muffins, cereals, fruit, and more is the ideal way to start your day. Worried there will be no time for just the two of you with kids in tow? During summer months, the Shaw’s Hotel offers a special kids meal a few nights a week that gives parents a 3 hour break. Kids are fed and entertained on premises, so parents can enjoy some quiet alone time or a special gourmet meal provided by the renowned chef.
Our meal at Shaw’s Hotel was truly spectacular. It featured all the best of the island prepared with care and attention to detail. Each dish was full of flavour and we devoured every last bite.While there were kids options available the boys wanted salmon so the kitchen split the order on two plates. It was perfect! The dining room overlooks the bay with beautiful views.
From the beginning of the meal we were amazed by the richness of flavour, fresh ingredients and beautiful styling. With Chef Matt Chandler cooking you are sure to fall in love with every dish. From the chowder to the mussels, to the salmon and the seafood stew it was an incredible meal. We finished off with delicious desserts and then took a leisurely stroll while the boys played at the playground. Taking in the beautiful smells from the kitchen and cool breeze it was a beautiful night.
