Travel by Ferry from the U.S.A. via New Brunswick on

the Princess of Acadia - click to see the video on YouTube

Nova Scotia is  approximately 5 to 6 hours by air from the United Kingdom and Europe, so it is possible to set off in the morning and be at the cottage in time for dinner.* Travel from the USA entails a short flight to Halifax, or a drive via New Brunswick and the Saint John to Digby Ferry. St John also has an airport.

Return flights to Halifax Nova Scotia from the U.K. can be purchased from  Canadian Affair, who offer flights with Thomas Cook airlines and Air Transat. Car hire is best obtained from netflights and if you book an economy car from the airport, you normally get a free upgrade to a mid-sized vehicle.

When hiring, be sure to get cruise control for the long stretches of well maintained and extremely quiet roads. In the summer you will also appreciate air conditioning in your vehicle, as the temperatures can get well into the 80s.

* Typical  journey times from Halifax International Airport to the cottage (on Digby Neck) are less than 3 hours

 and from Yarmouth to the cottage are less than 2 hours.
