This house welcomes you in a centrally located yet very peaceful setting. Tastefully done to make you feel right away as if it wasn’t your first time there. The epitome of a vacation home!
We were dropping off our son at Mount Allison and the Tidnish Pearl was an ideal base for exploring parts of New Brunswick, PEI and Nova Scotia. The house itself was well suited for our family with 3 bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, multiple areas to relax inside, WiFi, and a nice deck of the back to enjoy eating outside. Would definitely stay again.
What a great house! A wonderful mix of quaint old house with modern amenities. Check-in process was uncomplicated, and communication with the host was outstanding. A very helpful binder of information was on site. Location was lovely - close to so many sights. Would definitely recommend this property.
The pictures don’t do the house justice! It’s a beautiful 1800’s home with character, spacious inside and out. Lots of lawn space to play. All the amenities to make it comfortable. The breeze, the birds and friendly passers by made it homey. The personalized welcome basket was a very nice touch, fresh flowers from the yard greeted us and Piercy came to make sure everything was suitable and to care for the trash. Norma was extremely accommodating. We couldn’t have asked for a better week at The Pearl.
The Tidnish Pearl lives up to it’s name, it is a real gem!
Norma & Rick were amazingly reliable and generous hosts, promptly replying to all my questions and concerns. Upon arrival at The Pearl, we were treated to a welcome tray of bottles of wine, complimentary certificates to check out the local winery and ice cream parlour, homemade loaves of bread
and jam. All were delicious!! Our little ones also received personalized gifts which were perfect for the beach and the cottage.
The house is just so darn cute and homey, with plenty of room for family and friends. Each uniquely decorated room is a delight for the senses. The well stocked kitchen will remind you of your Grandma’s and take you back to the good ole days.
The Tidnish Pearl is centrally located and is only a 20 minute drive to Amherst, a little further to the quaint town of Pugwash, with several beautiful beaches, for exploring low tide, in between. Be sure to check out the Winegarden Estate winery and distillery, which is just around the corner and up the road. If you want to learn a thing or two about art, we also recommend visiting the Blue Heron Gallery located in Lornville, which is also a short drive.
We were thoroughly delighted with the Tidnish Pearl and were so sad to leave. This little cottage perfectly represents Nova Scotia and is as inviting and welcome as the people who inhabit this province and the East Coast.
We spent a week at the Tidnish Pearl this August, and it was truly lovely. The house is cozy, well equipped and tucked away in a quiet corner of Nova Scotia. So nice to come home to after busy days adventuring in NS, NB and across the bridge to PEI. An easy day trip to Charlottetown or Cavendish, quick drive to Amherst, Sackville or Cap-Pelé.
The house is lovely and quirky, as a 19th c. home would be, and more than comfortable with room to spread out for our family of 4. The front porch was perfect for morning coffee, the kids saw a meteor shower while sitting around the campfire, and we could keep up with the Olympics on the small TV in the family room. Both bathrooms were clean and functional, laundry and dishwasher all work well. The kitchen has all the utensils and tools you could want! Air conditioning in the kitchen and main bedroom only, but wasn’t needed during our week (evenings cooled down nicely and it’s so quiet it’s easy to leave windows open at night for a breeze!)
The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are connected - you have to walk through the Queen bedroom to get to the twin bedroom - which was no problem for our family, but might be a consideration if friends or mixed families are sharing the house.
Cell service was unreliable. Internet/wifi is available, but did seem to be affected on cloudy/rainy days. The large dining room table was perfect for art and games on those days!
We had a great stay and would recommend for small families looking for a quite getaway!
Had a great time! The house is well stocked. Only a brief walk to an ice cream stand, and a 5 minute drive to a pretty beach park. It had everything we needed, and the host and handyman were responsive.
Norma was an incredible host! The instructions for finding her house were very clear, and everything matched what was described on the website. She made sure we had everything we needed for enjoyable days at her lovely home, even providing us with some treats! I highly recommend this place if you're looking to relax, explore the nearby small businesses, and enjoy the beaches. I will definitely return with my family!
My family and I headed out East from Ontario so my 84 year old father could experience the east coast for the first time. The Tidnish Pearl was the perfect place to stay, right in the centre of PEI and NB. We were greeted with a lovely welcome note, yummy treats and
The house was beautiful and spacious, and was equipped with everything we needed, plus lovely touches like fresh bread & jam and wine tasting coupons! Norma, Maxine, and Piercy were great hosts and super responsive. The house is in a serene neighborhood with a huge lawn, and having breakfast on the back porch was idyllic. :) This was a great home base for us to explore the area. We recommend Island Hill Farm on PEI (we got to hold baby bunnies!), the Winegarden Estate right near the house, the Hopewell Rocks, and afternoon tea at Jassy Boutique in Moncton!
Norma and her staff Maxine and Percy were amazing. We arrived to a sparkling clean and well presented home that was Pride and Prejudice worthy. (I could imagine Mr Darcy striding into the parlour) A loaf of fresh baked bread, homemade jam, butter, cream and milk in the fridge awaited us, as well as a bottle of wine and 3 complimentary cheese plates at a nearby winery.
The rooms were all beautiful and accomadated our group of 7 quite nicely.
The location was wonderful for a visit to PEI and other places.
We would not hesitate to recommend this lovely home to anyone visiting the area.
Everything as advertised. Lovely amenities with all the comfort of home. Wonderful communication with the host and the handyman stopped in to see if we need anything.
This property is very well maintained. The home is equipped with everything you could possibly need. It is very spacious and Norma ensures that you arrive to the warmest welcome with fresh baked bread homemade jam and a bottle of wine. Located near many historical sights, a beach with seals, a winery that were so welcoming an art gallery and an amazing restaurant called the Blue Cat.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Tidnish Pearl. The home is beautiful, location serene, and the people are friendly and welcoming. Norma and Rick were great hosts and left goodies for us and the kids which we throughly enjoyed during our stay. We highly recommend checking out Winegarten Estates (and their summer concert series) which is located nearby. We are looking forward to our next vacation at the Tidnish Pearl.
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely heritage home. As other reviewers have written, Norma could write a book on hosting!. There was nothing we lacked in our stay. The extra special touches waiting for us when we arrived (fresh baked bread and homemade jam and a bottle of wine for us and gifts our teens) and Piercy, the local handyman, who checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable made our stay more memorable. The home was more space than we needed as a family of four and we enjoyed the antiques that decorate the home. It was a lovely stay to cap off our trip to Nova Scotia!
There was 7 of us, we had lots of room. A large yard for outdoor games and very close to both the river and the gulf. The owner and caretaker were friendly and accommodating.
The Pearl is a beautiful old home with many rooms and space for a large group. Three bedrooms, (one is attached to another) bathrooms, good wifi, great space for kids and dogs outside. Everything you need is provided….beach towels, beach toys, outdoor games, fire pit with wood, descent bikes and trails close by, a fully loaded kitchen including tons of spices, baggies, foil and plastic wrap, soaps, and every kitchen tool needed!
Norma thoughtfully treated us to to a amazing tray with wines, homemade breads, butter, jam and complimentary passes to Winegarden Estates, 10 minutes away. It is such an amazing wine tasting experience, we highly recommend it. Piercy, the handyman is so friendly and thoughtful. He came by everyday to see if we needed anything and always dropped off something from his garden or oantry. 😋 Maxine is close by if anything needs attention in the house.
The Northport beach, 20 minutes away has gorgeous red sand lots of tide pools and the warmest water! The Birkinshaw Tea house in Amherst is a fun experience.
We loved our stay at The Tidnish Pearl!
This place is fabulous - much more spacious and well equipped than we expected! The space was very clean! The home is decorated with care and has so many interesting things to look at - have never seen this in a rental before! Highly recommend Chases lobster !
