Getting to Swept Away Cottages
There are several scenic routes from both the bridge and the ferry, we have compiled a route that we feel is the most direct route to our cottages.
Directions From Confederation Bridge:
Follow Rte. 1 onto Rte. 1A - Heading towards Summerside. Follow through for about 19 kms, you'll cross a small bridge called Dunk River, take the first right onto Rte. 8 (Freetown) follow this through and you'll come out at Hwy. 2- Turn right and go down about 2 kms and take the first left onto Rte. 254 (Rattenbury Rd) (Please note that 254 also runs south onto the Mill Rd. this will take you back to the bridge.) Follow the Rattenbury until the very end, you will come out at Rte. 6, follow this down we are the second right hand turn at Simpson Mill Rd.
Directions from Wood Islands Ferry:
Once you have arrived across the Ferry you'll need to go Northwest onto the Transcanada Highway 1. Follow this until you come to Hwy. 2 (approx 27 miles) Follow Hwy. 2 - heading Northwest towards Summerside/Kensington. Follow for about 11.5 miles, you'll come to a community called Hunter River, You'll see signs for Rte. 13. Follow 13 down about another 4 miles, you'll see signs for Saint Anne's/Stanley Bridge. Turn left onto Rte.224. Follow this down another 4 or so miles, you'll see signs for St. Anne's Lobster Suppers, we are just a little farther down - you'll see a sign for Simpson Mill Road on the right hand side, follow the Simpson Mill Road almost to the end, we are on the right hand side.
Should you miss the Simpson Mill Road, you'll come out in Stanley Bridge, you'll see a shell gas station on the left, take a right onto Rte. 6 - This will lead you into Cavendish, we are the 2nd right hand turn from the Shell gas station. We have both signs on Rte. 6 and at our entrance.
Please drive safely, if you should get turned around, please feel free to give us a call, or if stopping and asking for directions tell them you are going to the old drive in theatre property in Cavendish or it's near the COW's boardwalk. (Most Islander's know where at least one of those are located.)
