Rates
From $229 per night
Open May to October
The Coastal Knook sits on a red sandstone point above the Northumberland Strait. From the common room and the guest rooms you can see the red sand cliffs, the Confederation Bridge and Seacow Head Lighthouse, and the sun sets into the strait every evening.
The common room has a gas fireplace, board games, cards and movies for a rainy day, and a beverage station with fresh coffee, assorted teas and water. Every guest room has its own coffee, teas and bottled water too.
Wake up over the strait
Three guest rooms, each with the water out the window. Lighthouse One and Lighthouse Two share a private second floor with views of the strait, the cliffs, the bridge and the lighthouse. The Bridge Room is on the main floor, with the same views.
Breakfast is part of the stay
A full hot breakfast of choice, made to order between 7:30 and 10:00. The preserves and honey are made on site, and the coffee bar is open around the clock.
One minute to the lighthouse
Seacow Head Lighthouse is a minute from the door, and it was Gus Pike's home and a filming location for Avonlea. Lobster suppers, beach goats, Cows Creamery and the Anne of Green Gables country are all an easy drive.
Open May to October
The Knook is a seasonal house, open from May until the end of October. Each photograph below sits under the month it was taken.
