Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Très bien situé, facile d'accès, personnel sympathique, bon déjeuner dans un endroit convivial, la vue du Golfe St-Laurent est belle et le coucher de soleil. La chambre est fonctiionnelle.
Le seul point à améliorer est que lit était double, je préfère les lits queen pour plus d'espace et de confort
Mooi uitzicht. Heel vriendelijke host. Zeer comfortabele kamer met een uitstekend bed.
Niets
Wir können nicht viel erzählen, da es dudurch ein Unwetter weder Strom noch Internet noch Wasser also keine Toilette gab.
Auch wenn der Vermieter nichts für das Wetter konnte, hätten wir schon erwartet, dass man uns wegen der gruseligen Übernachtung ohne Toilette und Frühstück etwas erstattet hätte, zumal die Übernachtung 230 Euro!!!! Gekostet hat.
Good variety but basic self serve pre prepared items - great coffee machine with multiple selections.
L’endroit du service déjeuner est le pire que nous ayons vu comme membre de BOOKING .COM Une seul table Un espace très petit
Le coût de l’hébergement trop élevé L'établissement annonce la vue sur la mer alors que la vue est sur un hâve uniquement Matelas très mou
cute little inn. only a few rooms. very comfortable and clean. host was very nice. they left a few snacks for us in the room which was so thoughtful. met a lot of nice people at breakfast. one large family style table. they had juice, cereal, toast, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, coffee, cheese, muffins, etc. i highly recomment this inn and i would stay here again. see my google review for pictures.
gravel driveway
Great view large space,
old building noisy. Significant noise transferred from the second floor.
Chambre située dans le bâtiment principal. Bruyant le matin car c’est là qu’on sert le déjeuner. Préférable de choisir dans le bâtiment secondaire.
We did not eat breakfast there. Wanted a complete meal.
Bella posizione su una collina di fronte al mare
Staff praticamente inesistente Colazione fai-da-te con cibi preconfezionati Costo elevato rispetto al servizio offerto
Room 14 was fantastic. On first floor, room was massive overlooking Harbour. 2
Wir hatten das Zimmer im EG mit Meerblick. Sonnenuntergang einfach toll. Zimmer sehr großzügig und sauber. Bad sehr schön.. Aussenbereich zum sitzen sehr schön.
Der Check in und Check out sehr unpersönlich. Es gab ein Hallo und den Schlüssel ohne Erklärung. Personal nicht sehr freundlich. Frühstücksraum ist ein Gemeinschaftsraum (1 Tisch). Sehr hellhörig.
Amazing stay, great location.
Location was close enough to central Cheticamp. Rooms were big enough.
breakfast was adequate though basic. Chairs in room were not confortable and pillows were too fat (for our taste)
L’espace de la grande chambre, 2 lits, frigo il ne manquait rien. Lieu bien décorer et très propre.
Bruit des portes qui claquent. Déjeuner moins aimé mais tout de même du choix yogourt, café, toast, œuf à la coque, fruits, jus, lait, etc.
Good staff and the room and inn were clean. The breakfast buffet was hot and good with its selection.
This is not a 4-star, its somewhere between 2-3 stars. The place is run down and its not a close location to the town as its on the opposite end. The air conditioning was not working and the window needed to be propped up with a provided stick.
Good location. Room was a good size and the bed comfortable.
Walls very thin, noise from adjacent, nearby and above rooms. Other guests did not respect the quiet time. The room was not serviced. They did not take into account dietary requirements, eg gluten free, even though requested in advance.
Great location, comfortable room nice staff.
The sound proofing of the ceiling could have been better. Guests upstairs were walking around and it was quite noisy when they were. Probably an issue that should have been addressed during construction. I would recomend staying on the second floor.
Spacious room with comfy beds (four pillows per queen bed). Some complimentary snacks in the room. Shower over bath. Continental breakfast (cereals, yoghurt, waffles, toast, apples, hard-boiled eggs, cheddar) included. Plenty of parking.
Noisy fridge. A little dated. Small breakfast area. Breakfast on a large communal table.
We absolutely loved our stay in our very large, comfy and quiet room with two queen beds and little 'salon'. We appreciated the nice coffee machine with pads and the fact that we could prepare/have a (limited but sufficient) breakfast earlier than the 'official' breakfast service hours. Friendly host and large free parking. Perfect location for hiking at the westcoast of Cape Breton.
The rain hihi !
Le déjeuner est moyen et nous n'aimons pas trop la grande table commune. Les airs climatisés des chambres sont très bruyants. On les entend de la chambre.
The location is great as it’s high on a hill and has iconic yellow chairs to enjoy the sunset. Our rooms faced the back of the property in the “barn” looking building. It was quaint and had a B&B feel.
Breakfast area was tight as it was summer and it was busy but that’s all
This was a last minute booking so there wasn't much choice or availability. Therefore we had to share a room with our kids. It turned out great, room was spacious, clean, comfortable and the place itself was great. Would stay there again.
Exceed my expectations the service the view fantastic
Quiet very clean and very friendly
A nice quiet location facing the sea. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast included hard-boiled eggs, toast, yogurt, muffins, etc. Good conversation with other guests at the breakfast table.
Good location in Chéticamp. The place is dated but was clean. There was a washer and dryer available to use for free and we took advantage of that, which was good after one week into our rtoad trip .
Climbing the stairs with our luggage. However, the biggest disappointment was the breakfast. The options available to eat were very limited. The small dining room was not big enough to accommodate all the guests nor was it big enough to have a decent spread of food. It was total chaos in the morning. We stayed for two days and went down as early as possible the 2nd day, but it was still crowded. It had kind of a weird vibe at the one and only table where people could sit. Some people chatted but many just ate silently and avoided eye contact. Not my idea of a good time.
Great location, perfectly ready room, breakfast was just ride, coffee options were on point.
The price we paid for one evening was a little steep, but I guess, that’s what it is for one night in high season, sometimes
etwas unpersönlicher Service und bezüglich Restaurants in Cheticamp nicht auf dem neusten Stadn.
The bed and sheets were amazing. We slept very well.
Hôte très hospitalier. Bon déjeuner complet. Vue incroyable pour l'apéro. J'y retournerais!
A little way from town, not a problem if driving. Room is clean and comfortable and host provided chocolate snacks and ear plugs (not needed, was quiet). The breakfast area was small and after reading other reviews, we skipped it. Co-op supermarket down the road and cafes / coffee shops open early.
The cleanliness, location and parking
The cost of the stay was excessive, being nearly twice as much as we'd paid in other locations in Maritime Canada. For this cost we expected a very good breakfast as the reviews had indicated. But it was disappointing both from the food selection available and the seating arrangements. It was more like a hostel experience rather than a hotel. We are both vegan, which was advised in advance, but no effort had been made to provide anything vegan for us. Even the non-vegan selection was very poor. There wasn't enough seating for everyone, with some people taking their breakfast back to their room. Providing many bars of chocolates and sweets in the room was not necessary or healthy. The staff were surly at check-in and made no effort to assist people at breakfast.
Wow, what a beautiful place to stay. The Host was super friendly and very helpful with directions and ideas on where to go. Go for dinner at L’Abri Restaurant Et Bar (#1 in Cheticamp).
Should have stayed longer.
Schön auf einem Hügel gelegen mit einen tollen Ausblick auf das Meer. Nicht weit bis zur Stadt und zu Restaurants. Ein paar Minuten bis zum Eingang des Nationalparks. Mit Liebe eingerichtete Zimmer. Kleine Aufmerksamkeiten überall, z. B. ein paar kostenlose Süßigkeiten, Kosmetiktücher im Bad, an der Kaffeemaschine und am Bett, ein Schal, falls man draußen sitzen will. Kühlschrank vorhanden. Fernseher mit der Möglichkeit Streamingdienste zu nutzen. Frühstück ist Self Service. Kein warmes Frühstück, aber Cerealien, Toast, Käse (!) etc. Ein Kühlschrank mit Getränken und eine Nespresso-Maschine können rund um die Uhr genutzt werden. Boxen stehen bereit, so dass man sich was einpacken kann. Sehr nettes Personal. Unsere schönste Unterkunft auf der Reise.
Wenn viel los ist, wird es im Frühstücksraum eng. Keine Bodylotion.
Our room was large, very clean and comfortable.
I would have given this property a higher rating if it wasn't for the breakfast and the breakfast space. Breakfast was significantly below average. The few items offered were highly processed and high in sugar. Apples were the only fruit and hard boiled egg the only unprocessed item. The breakfast room could seat about 8-10 people and the first morning it was packed and uncomfortably crowded.
Lovely location and very handy for exploring Cape Breton.
Felt a bit in-personal and cater for big tour groups so a lone traveller a little over looked
Continental breakfast was included. Room was spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of restaurants nearby. Inn and property were well maintained. Great location.
Wonderful bed and bedroom with AMAZING view down to the harbor. Quiet, lovely accomodations.
All was great !
Ruhige schöne Lage.
Tutto di ottimo livello
Direi niente. L'albergo fornisce solo il breakfast e forse, visto che abbiamo avuto maltempo, la cena in loco ci avrebbe fatto comodo. Ma sapevamo che non c'è ristorante
Location is good. Breakfast is good
Wonderful location with stunning view. Maintaining conditions very good.
Breakfast a little bit simple
Petit déjeuner de base. Pas de buffet chaud.:( On s'attendait à plus de choix considérant le prix plus élevé que la moyenne. Par contre, il y avait des petites collations disponibles à la chambre. L'emplacement était bien.
La chambre est un peu désuète. 2 lits doubles. Il n'y a pas assez de place pour installer les bagages. Le prix était plutôt élevé comparativement aux autres établissements sélectionnés dans notre voyage incluant un déjeuner buffet(8).
Great location, comfy beds, loved the complementary sweets. We stayed for the night as a stop on our way back from the cabot trail.
Sehr schöne Lage. Das Haus ist liebevoll gepflegt
Der Frühstücksraum ist viel zu klein. Da es nur zwischen 8 und 10 Uhr Frühstück gibt und sicher alle Gäste ziemlich zügig ihre Reise weiterführen wollen, quetschen sich um 8 Uhr alle Gäste in den Frühstücksraum. Wir hatten zum Glück das Zimmer direkt neben der Reception und dem Frühstücksraum, so konnten wir das Frühstück bei uns im Zimmer essen.
Good location, clean and well appointed, espresso machine available
Breakfast was not generous.
Quiet location, clean well maintained rooms. Clean bathroom with all basic amenities. The stairs look a little dated. Breakfast area is good with continental breakfast with decent coffee.
Needs a small table in the room to put the kettle and coffee station, just a little cluttered on top of the refrigerator so afraid cups could fall
Beautiful setting and view in front of the building. A very quiet location on the edge of town.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Directed us to the best place for dinner. There was a washer and dryer we used that was not expected. Decent breakfast.
Breakfast area a bit crowed.
Great location, great property and great staff
It is a well-maintained inn, with a comfortable bed, a clean room, friendly staff and a good breakfast. The view of the sunset was Awesome!
Sehr sauber!
Es war sehr hellhörig und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis hat für uns nicht ganz gestimmt, dafür war es etwas zu teuer. (Frühstücksbuffet war sehr einfach)
Location is great and the rooms are spacious and clean. The breakfast was good. Lots of options for a continental breakfast.
I had no cell reception and the wifi was not working and got no help at all. This was the most expensive night of our stay.
Location and personnel
Nothing, it was what was described and good location for the Cabot trail
schönes Zimmer
Die Lage und das Zimmer waren gut und geräumig
Das Frühstück war absolut basic,, für den Preis des Zimmees hätten wir ein ‚hot breakfast‘ erwartet
The room was clean, the view was amazing. Nice breakfast.
Great coffee and very nice manager!
Our room was a bit dated
We thought the accommodations were very clean and well thought out, the location in general was a good one for sightseeing in the area. Any staff we spoke with were very courteous and helpful.
Our only complaint and it's not really a complaint was the small breakfast area. We were looking forward to the free breakfast because there are many positive reviews about it, but it was standing room only and there just wasn't enough there to offer, that I would stand and squeeze in that close proximity to people. I'm sure extroverts love it, but we chose to do breakfast other places :)
Ok breakfast.
The breakfast was only cold options. But good ones.
Top-Ausgangslage für Wanderungen im Nationalpark. Und der Ort Chéticamp hat mehrere tolle Restaurants.
Völlig überteuert. Standardunterkunft mit Standardausstattung. Frühstück minimal.
Das sehr schöne Zimmer und die Freundlichkeit des Personals. Außerdem die ruhige Lage.
Der Frühstücksraum ist recht eng bemessen.
L’emplacement , la propreté
Les oreillers bcp trop gros et durs et matelas trop mou . Manque d’insonorisation
The inn is very attractive from the outside. We were upgraded to a big room with a king-size bed. We had a nice view towards the water. We had to seek help with the heating controls. The parking was very convenient. The lady was welcoming. There was chocolate in the room.
The heating and air conditioner rattled so it was hard to know what to do at night. Breakfast was all in packets except for bananas. It seemed overpriced compared with other places.
Location relative to Cape Breton NP was good. Options seem limited. Room was clean but small and very basic.
There are limited options in the area. Cost was expensive relative to room size and amenities. The continental breakfast was weak.
It has a lovely setting to watch the sunset on good nights. It is a good base for the west side of the Cabot Trail.
The breakfast room was a bit tight in the morning.
L’emplacement au calme un peu en retrait de la ville. Très confortable, très propre. Grande chambre avec café, frigo et petits chocolat! Petit déjeuner très correct.
La salle à manger trop étroite avec une seule table devrait être repensée. On se bouscule un peu !
Loved the location. It was quiet and had great views. Easy parking. We also liked the morning Nespresso coffee, breakfast items, the fridge in our room and abundance of water and juices for our daily needs.
The room was large, well furnished and extremely clean. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and comfortable.
Nice location. Set way back from the road. Panoramic views.
Expected more choice at breakfast considering the price. Room was smaller sthan expected.
The view was beautiful. We really enjoyed breakfast and conversing with the other guests.
Room was spacious and clean. Hotel has great position/view. Staff friendly and welcoming.
The weather was cold during our stay. There was no additional blankets/quilts in the room. This would have made the room much more comfortable
Ample parking. Nice staff. Excellent room. Quiet. Clean. Great AC.
Some bacon with breakfast?
Our room had a nice sea view. Quiet, clean & comfortable
Town wasn't walkable distance
We were very kindly upgraded to a room with a view after we asked if that was possible. Being early in the season they were able to accommodate our request and we were very appreciative.
Offering some gluten free bread or muffins for breakfast would be nice but that being said there were yogurts, fruit and hard boiled eggs available.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Beautiful sunset view. Nice breakfast. Very comfortable beds and rooms.
Little bit out of town.
Great location! Comfortable room Very nice breakfast
Very nice location, nice meadow infront of the inn, nice views.
Bed is not comfortable, bathtub was not very clean, breakfast is simple. The inn is overpriced compared to what you get. We stayed in similar inns that were cleaner and had more comfrotable beds in the area at half the price.
The Inn is very cute. The room was comfortable and well appointed. There was a large (and comfy) king-size bed, fridge, coffee machine, and snacks in the room. It’s slightly outside of town and very quiet. The free breakfast was coffee/tea, cereal, toast, and bananas.
We could hear footsteps and loud noises from the room above us very early in the morning. I don’t think the building is soundproofed.
A beautiful spot and extremely clean and well organized. A lovely Continental breakfast with lots of choice.
It seemed pricey for the experience but was an extremely clean, well organized experience.
Lovely cottage,beautiful view,thoughtful service, a quiet and undisturbed environment
We decided to do a Fall trip to CB and love the Cheticamp area. We had a lovely room, spacious and modern. Everything was placed tastefully and efficiently. What stood out even more was the beautiful view from our large windows. It was a great spot to watch 2 of the World Series Blue Jay games!! We also enjoyed the dining room with breakfast included! Lots of options and the staff were very friendly! Great location with food establishments and great hikes not far, including the infamous Skyline Trail!
The price was a little high for off season but I guess they are becoming that way everywhere!!
. The breakfast is the one nice thing here.
Room was very small and spartan for the price, so much so we had to upgrade to something more average
It was beautiful and very well cared for.
I liked everything about the property.
love rob and sylvias personal touch ! rob even called us to make sure we are checking in as it was late night. breakfast was special - ordered and served individually just like in restaurants!
Everything room was amazing staff even better...booking again next year for longer stay
The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was very good. We only stayed a night after going around the cape so it was very nice to have a quiet place to rest. The area was so peaceful and we enjoyed looking at the stars! It was a nice escape from living in a city!
There is no elevator so consider the weight of your luggage! Cannot complain since accommodations were very good!
Location
Too expensive for the services & room
It was a great location, just out of Cheticamp. Parking was easy to find and the property had a lovely view towards the water. The room was clean and accessible.
Free breakfast was included, however it was made very clear that this did not include a tip. I'd prefer to pay more and not have to scramble to find cash for a gratuity. I found this property quite expensive for what was essentially an older motel.
location was nice with great views...very quite and the breakfast was great. Rooms were very spacious and clean
Nothing
saw cockroach in the room
The staff were really nice. We arrived right after the season was ending so there were not many places open to eat. They called to let us know that only three restaurants were open and only until 7. Also, the breakfast at the hotel was very good.
It was slightly pricey but we understood that it was one the few places open during the off season.
Clean and big rooms. Good Breakfast and top location
The hot breakfast was great, with a lot of choices and they actually served you rather than being served from a buffet. Location was just outside of the main part of town, so it was easy to access everything.
Beds were small - only a double bed size. It was good that there were two, and we each slept in one of the beds instead of sleeping together in one of the beds. Mattresses were a bit uncomfortable but OK for a single night's stay.
Staff was super friendly. Breakfast was hearty and delicious. Room was quite large with a view of the water.
Some features are dated.
Clean. Comfortable. Easy access to Cheticamp.
Nothing.
Great location. Great view. Good breakfast and an excellent host all around. Highly recommended
Gute Lage direkt am Cabot Trail mit schöner Aussicht. Zwei große, bequeme Betten.
Frühstück war zwar völlig ok, für den hohen Preis hätte ich mir aber mehr erwartet und der Frühstücksraum war für die Anzahl der Gäste an diesem Morgen defintiv zu klein.
Hier hat alles gepasst.
