Cottage très agréable, bien décoré, très joli. Lit très conforable et belle vue. Tout équipé. Très propre. Super acceuil.
Beautiful location and friendly staff
A little run down and pretty expensive for quality of the hotel
View
Not being told it was a basement unit and having kids running above!

The wooden pieces have a old smell
Mit den Basics ausgestattete Küche, komfortable Betten. Nähe zum Cape Breton Nationalpark.
Location, lovely helpful staff. Young guy from Dartmouth gave us excellent genuine tips for local hikes. The housekeeping staff brought us a toaster to toast GF bread in our cabin.
It was older and showed some signs of aging but we were okay with that!
The view from the apartment is amazing
Cozy cabin. Furniture partial old and broken but still workable
Furniture partial old and broken
View, location
The view off the back deck was nice and the bed wqs comfortable.
The cottage was dirty and not well stocked. It advertised a barbeque but was not in working order and not able to be used. We stayed 2 nights and we're provided one towel each and instructions left that if we wanted another towel we had to return used towel to the main office to be goven another one.
Great place to stay while we travelled the Cabot Trail. Staff was friendly. The cabin was very clean inside. Great view of the water. Chairs outside cabin to sit and look at the view. BBQ outside was nice.
Outside the cabin was a bit unkept however great view of the water.
Gute Lage zum Einstieg in den Cape Breton NP. Tolle Aussicht von der großen Terrasse. Bequeme Betten. Sauberes Badezimmer.
Das Cottage ist schon etwas älter und sollte renoviert werden. Die Terrasse war etwas ungepflegt. Der zerbrochene Blumenkübel mit Unkraut hat uns etwas irritiert. Sehr schlechtes WLAN.
Beautiful view. Convenient location. Clean. Comfortable beds.
Property needs maintenance. Deck boards need better supports. Kitchen and bathroom lack counter and storage space.
Great view.
Bed uncomfortable.
I loved the location, room facilities and towels.
The toilet shower got noise.
Cute, clean, stunningly beautiful location
L’emplacement idéal pour profiter de la vue sur l’eau. Balcon privé et chaise Adirondack.
Love the view and the size of the cottage. Very comfortable
Lovely place. We arrived late at night, but arrangements were made to let us go right into our cottage. Very attractive rooms , cosy. Well appointed -;everything you need. And the view from the outside deck is gorgeous!
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Wenn etwas gefehlt hat, konnten wir es problemlos nachordern. Als wir unsere Unzufriedenheit höflich geäußert haben, wurde nach einer Alternative gesucht, leider war alles ausgebucht.
Cottage 1A oder 7, je nach Zählung, ist stark in die Jahre gekommen. Das merkt man an vielen Details wie kaputten Mückengittern, nicht schließenden Türen innen, alter Einrichtung,... Man hört die Nachbarn aus der Wohnung oben. Der Geruch ist muffig. Mein Vorschlag wäre, die Unit erst zu renovieren, bevor sie neu vermietet wird, um schlechte Bewertungen zu vermeiden, da die Cottages durchaus gut sein sollen.
Staff very friendly, view, comfortable cabin, clean, soft towels, green tea toiletries
Wir wohnten in Chalet Nr. 2 und es war ein wirklich traumhafter Aufenthalt mit wunderbarer Aussicht auf die Bucht ganz in der Nähe des Cape Breton Nationalparks. Die Schlüsselübergabe erfolgte sehr freundlich und unkompliziert und wir waren vom ersten Moment an begeistert von unserer charmanten Unterkunft. Wir haben uns zwei Mal Abends in der "Fisherman´s Kitchen" unser Abendessen geholt und es hat uns ausgezeichnet geschmeckt. Sehr freundliches Personal!
Es hat uns zwar nicht gestört, aber im Bad sollten die Armaturen wieder einmal befestigt werden, waren etwas locker.
vue
matelas, niveau de propreté, emplacement du chalet
Comfortable bed, fridge and very presentable
One mug in a twin room, missing cutlery. These little details matter in an expensive room.
Staff and location were excellent. Nice cottages with a good view.
They are a bit pricing however I think in line with the region and time of year, unfortunately.
L’emplacement
Air climatisé dans la chambre et les lumières de la chambre marchait pas
La vue sur l'eau
Le frigo qui faisait du bruit
Great location close to Ingonish beach and Cabot trails. Cozy cottage feel. Beautiful view of the water. Kitchen had mostly everything we needed to prepare our own meals.
Quiet
Nothing
We loved the location, the view and sitting outside admiring the view. We appreciated the staff having the air on when we arrived in very hot weather. Checkin was easy
It was an older building but that didn’t take away from its charm.
The motel is very clean and comfy with ocean view. Breakfast is really good. Made a very pleasant stay at Cape Breton.
Belle vue
1 lit seulement Pas mentionné sur le site...
Amazing view
La vue, et l’équipement disponible dans le logement.
Great view and great food
La vue sur la baie, la propreté des lieux, les randonnées à faire, la plage d’Ingonish Beach.
I liked the location and the cottage was extremely clean. The beds were super comfy. The towels were great. The staff was extremely friendly. The restaurant was lovely as well.
I would’ve liked to have water access but at the same time the beach isn’t far
Die Lage und der Blick sind schön. Unkompliziertes Ein- und Auschecken.
Alles etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Wir hatten 2 Cottages in der 2. Reihe zum See. Die Sauberkeit passte zum rustikalen Ambiente. Küchenausstattung wirkte abgezählt.
View and location
Nothing
Les cottages ont beaucoup de charme et ont une très belle vue. Les lits sont grands et très confortables. Le personnel est très accueillant (et nous a permis de faire une lessive malgré la charge de travail accumulé car les cottages étaient tous pleins !). Le petit-déjeuner est en supplément mais vaut le coup !
Super Lage, bequeme Betten und schöne Terasse
Küche und Geschirr war nicht sauber
Bra beliggenhet
Good location, a nice view. Good parking, restaurant on premises
Very tiny room. The bathroom was functional but needed updating- particularly the floor
Excellent staff, cute cottage and the view is amazing!
Nothing
Location and how spacious the room is
It was a very cute little cabin with decent space. A small kitchen area but all else was nice. Fairly dated but with charm.
Our internet didn’t work.
Spacious living room and kitchen with good comfortable beds
Lots of mosquitoes and small washroom
Breakfast was good & fresh.all the staff were great , friendly & appreciated them . Would recommend them again
Noise above room was little loud .
Er is een prachtig uitzicht en het huisje ziet er mooi uit!
We dachten dat we direct aan het water zaten om te zwemmen, maar dat is nog 20 minuten rijden
Comfortable basic cottage for a road trip. View is spectacular from the deck.
Bathroom is tight.
Location and staff
Clean and quaint.
L’emplacement est superbe et le personnel a l’accueil est attentionné.
Les portes qui ferment difficilement, la propreté. C’est cher payé pour ce tn’us avions.
Bel emplacement, belle vue extérieure!
Breakfast was lacking options. Ran out of things when we got to the restaurant for breakfast service was very good for all aspects of the restaurant
We would tell that upgrades on the property were ongoing. Definitely needs work in that area mainly the landscaping
They were available in the office, which was well staffed.
The cottage was very functional and quiet. The kitchen was well stocked. The hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful with tips on the area.
位置好,游玩方便:安静、卫生,有利休息:服务员说中文,交流顺畅:总之,是个物有所值的地方。

Location was phenomenal. Views were amazing. Very cute and comfortable spot. Our 2 bedroom cottage was very nice and very clean and comfortable. We would 100% return.
Larger menu at the restaurant.
We booked the place last minute and it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. The place is absolutely beautiful, facing the ocean and scenic. It was a bit cloudy during our stay, I can’t imagine how much more beautiful it would be if it was sunny. Place is spacious and spotless clean. Has a bbq too. It’s very close to Ingonish beach, which is a must visit place in Cape Breton.
The property had the perfect amount amenities. It was quiet and comfortable. It was also super close to all the national park had to offer.
The menu at the onsite restaurant wasn’t really my vibe but I had a full kitchen to work with so I was all good!
Location and view. Staff were great.
Wish Id known we didn't have a proper deck and were in a basement. Thought we were getting a full cottage/structure when we booked. But overall, it was a good stay.
A wonderful cosy cottage with a great view. It even had a fireplace for those cold rainy days. The beds were very comfortable.
Tub needs a little refresh.
Charming cabins in a great location. Parking was easy, getting there was easy, and the room was comfortable.
Nothing to discuss.
环境好!
View over the water was great. Restaurant was handy and adequate.
Double bed room was very small..
Location
Room and price was not good
Location was good for exploring and hiking
Below ground unit was given to me. Unit was crowded and furniture uncomfortable. The fridge was full of water at the bottom due to a leak. Poor air circulation made it uncomfortable. The value for type of accommodation was very disappointing. I would not choose to stay here again. Kitchen was very poorly equipped. The balcony has deteriorated to the point safety has been compromised.
Very clean and spacious cabin with a great view. The rooms were very comfortable and cozy. The bed was very comfortable. The dinner at the restaurant was delicious.
Mosquitos were hungry. The restaurant was closed for breakfast because it was still the "off season".
Good
It was quiet and the view was nice
There was no beach access, the cottage was outdated (the floor boards of the deck were old and rickety, the toilet didn’t flush unless you took the lif iff the back and manually pushed it) The property wasn’t located close to any if the things we wanted to do and the food at the restaurant wasn’t good.
The location is good, great view. The young woman at check in was very friendly.
The front step into the cabin is rotted and has a broken board. The bathroom door does not fit the frame, leaving a gap when you close the door. The floor is uneven. The bed, not so comfortable. The cabin needs a lot of maintenance.
Great view and felt like home
The locations was great! We loved the deck overlooking the water. The place was quite rustic and cozy (i.e. dated and small), but very clean. The bed was comfortable. It was very quiet.
It was quite cool out and we couldn't figure out how to use the thermostat to warm up the cottage a bit. We were warm enough, though. There was very little counter space in the bathroom for toiletries.
Cottage no.6, propre, grand (sauf toilette minuscule) avec balcon bbq/table/chaise/vue, bien équipé (cuisinière, frigo, micro ondes...), tranquille. Un vrai petit chalet au bord de l'eau !
Cute comfortable cottage, with deck, lovely view
Great location on the Cabot Trail. Small unit but well designed and comfortable.
View from patio deck was exceptional. Cabin very clean and quiet. The attached restaurant a real bonus. Dinner was excellent
The view
No smoke detector
Prachtig gelegen, mooi uitzicht.
Het huisje was erg klein, we hadden een keuken verwacht maar er was niks. Ook geen broodrooster om ontbijt te kunnen maken.
Loved the view !! Cottage is small but comfortable!
One bed was too soft, other bed was fine
La vue et l'intérieur en bois ,un endroit tres agréable
The view was beautiful ❤️
We could hear very much noise from the adjoining room.
Emplacement
Manque d’équipement et un peu viellot
View, 2 double beds
Lack of tools items in the kitchen, neglected grounds outside, no balcony, bbq very ild and dirty. it was not a cottage despite being called cottage 9a as we had units and guests attached beside and above us was more like a motel… and cleaning inside and around unit could have been more torough
Location Host was understanding regarding our very late check in. Left clear instructions.
The view was great.
Very small bed, lots of animal hair and poor heating system in the washroom.
There was a microwave
I think it was expensive for what was offered
Great little spot along the Cabot Trail.
The room was quite comfortable for one person, cozy for two, and possibly challenging with more than that. It was clean and comfortable. There was a back deck that overlooked the water, although no chairs, just a bench to sit on to view it. Fridge and coffee maker worked. The restaurant was not open when I was there.
Emplacement
Lit pas confortable et présence d'insectes
Location was excellent right on the water But we went wrong time of year Staff were very friendly and accommodating
Cottage was not very comfortable Very small Only good if you need some place to lay your head for the night But we rented the cheapest cottage
check in check out dinners were nice at their restaurant
mattress could have been better but heat pump was great
The view is awesome
Bel emplacement avec vue sur la baie. Logement pratique avec deux chambres séparées.
Impossible de tenir la porte des sanitaires fermée.
Very clean, comfortable beds, well equipped
The cottage was cosy and clean, in a good location, not far from Ski Cape Smokey
It was cold inside of the cottage and the heat pump didn't help much.
easy spot for a one night stay in prep for skiing
