Lovely stay with welcoming hosts who adore dogs - a huge plus for pet owners
Pros:

The hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with them. They shared lots of helpful local travel tips throughout my stay, which made the stay even better. The location is convenient, relatively close to Baddeck, and has a seafood restaurant right next door. The ocean view from the room was exceptional. The room was very well maintained, with great attention to detail. The hosts have good taste and value quality, even in little things. Overall a very lovely stay and a great base for exploring Cape Breton!

Pros:

I stayed here by myself before driving the Cabot trail. It was a great location & good price for one night with a beautiful view. The Lobster Galley Restaurant was next door for dinner & the night was SILENT. Vince on the desk gave me great travel tips.

Baddeck Gem
Pros:

This was the highlight of my Nova Scotia trip. Clean, well stocked and the most beautiful view you could have. Great big windows across the back of the room. There are also chairs in back to relax in. I spent the evening watching shore birds feeding. The owner was extremely helpful in planning my driving route for the next day.

Cons:

Nothing
