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.

Corner guest room with two walls of windows over the water

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.

Window seat and benches in the common room, facing the water

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.
