Clean, quite, comfortable beds. Good internet. No issues.
Jolie structure et accueil agréable
Chambre très petite, lit qui grince, lavabo bouché et pas de petit déjeuner ni de cafetière dans la chambre
Für eine Nacht okay. Komfortable Betten. Unmittelbare Nähe zum Cape Breton Highlands Nationalpark.
Ein Wasserkocher und ein paar Tassen wären nett. Leider gab es aufgrund eines sturmbedingten Stromausfalles weder Strom noch fließendes Wasser, da die Pumpe für den Brunnen strombetrieben ist. Das Personal war aber bemüht und hat uns Wasser zur Verfügung gestellt.
Direkt am Eingang des Nationalparks gelegen, sehr sauber, große Zimmer Kaffee und Tee gibt es morgens in der Rezeption über die Straße
Wenn es noch einen Wasserkocher und einen Toaster gäbe, wäre es perfekt
Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft mit sehr freundlichen Gastgebern direkt am Eingang zum Cape Breton National Park.

Lovely little place with large, clean rooms and scenic location.
No complaints.
Location was excellent.
Ruime kamer, mat koelkastje
Kamer was ruim en netjes
Very friendly and helpful staff. Room had all we needed.
Nothing
Close to things we wanted to see and do but not in high traffic or populated area. Road was close but traffic stopped early so was very quiet. Staff was attentive and friendly.
There was nothing we didn’t like.
Fantastic location for the Cabot Trail. Very cute motel with clean, basic rooms, and lovely staff. Would stay again!
Die Nähe zum Nationalpark Cap Breton.Die Möglichkeit mit seinen eigenen Lebensmitteln an der Rezeption zu frühstücken.Den Kaffee kochte die sehr hilfsbereite Chefin.
Die Hohe Stufe am Eingang.Es gibt wohl auf Anfrage eine Rampe.Wenn wir fest reserviert haben erwarten wir einen vorgekühten Kühlschrank.Es gab nur eine Mikrowelle und ältere dunkle Möbel.Der Duschstrahl war sehr hart .Und nicht zu verstellen. Vorhänge und Handtücher teilweise nicht sauber.
Location Very clean and quiet Beds were comfortable Good price
Excellent location, right next to the Skyline trailhead, and a great breakfadt place called "the last sandwich". Nice and sweet walking route by the river right behind the hotel. Beautiful and well maintained lawn in the backyard with plenty of benches, picnic spots and birds. Very friendly and helpful staff.
When we stayed as 4 people in the room the bathroom ventilation didn't cope and the water was coming down the walls. We opened the window to fix that but if it was colder outside that may have been a problem. This didn't really bother us, but something to look at.
À proximité de la Piste de Cabot.
Tout était correct.
Pretty motel with walking area behind it. Location was perfect being right on the Cabot Trail.
The mattresses could do with an update but not horrible.
Great staff at reception, very accommodating and informative of the area. The rooms are super clean!
Extra pillows and towels
Zeer servicegerichte en vriendelijke eigenaren. Dichtbij National Park en eetgelegenheden.
Niets
Very friendly and professional hosts; a beautiful, spacious, and clean room. The hosts gave us lots of great tips for excursions, which were a wonderful experience for us.
Place was very clean and organized. Staff very friendly. Location is very accesible to traffic.
Great location right next to national park and a great view of the mountains. Staff was also helpful and friendly!
Beautiful location
Strict checking time and mosquitoes
Staff were very friendly and obliging, they gave us some great tips for our drive around the Cabot Trail.
We were unable to make ourselves a tea or coffee in our room, but these facilities were available at reception during opening hours.
Did not dine at the motel
All good
The property is located perfectly for visiting the local area with an abundance of trails to suit everyone. The property has its own private trail that guests can use which is an easy amble alongside the river and through thin woodland. The proprietor was very helpful with local information on facilities in the town along with restaurants etc. If you are driving towards Cheticamp in a Southerly direction, the Cornerstone motel is the first accommodation before entering the town, look for the unmissable coloured apartments. Each room has its own parking bay right outside its door entrance.
Nothing.
Quiet and comfortable room right on the Cabot Trail, just north of Chéticamp and just south of the National Park border. There was a microwave and refrigerator in the room and coffee and tea in the lobby. The owner told us which restaurants were open for dinner and breakfast.
De locatie was top, binnen minder dan 15 min sta je op de parkeerplaats van the Skyline trail.
Het bed was aan de kleine kant. Wij zijn zelf niet groot, maar de breedte is kleiner dan je gewend bent.
kleines, aber schnuckeliges Motel mit sehr aufmerksamen und lustigen Besitzern, die Biel über die Umgebung berichten könn.
Sehr gepflegte und saubere Zimmer. Gute Ausstattung und alles gut unterhalten. Grosszügiger Umschwung mit gepflegten Waldwegen dem Flussufer entlang. Grosse Feuerschale im Garten für gemeinsame Nutzung.
Die Heizung funktioniert gut, ist aber bei frostigen Temperaturen etwas langsam und im Hauptraum bei gezogen Gardinen etwas ineffizient.
The location was perfect for exploring Cape Breton. At check-in, Greg was extremely helpful and friendly with his advice on restaurants and things to see in the surrounding area. It was close to Cheticamp as well as numerous hikes in the area so it made a perfect base.
La gentillesse et les bons conseils des personnes à l'accueil, la localisation sur le Cabot trail et tout près du parc des Hautes-Terres-du-Cap-Breton, la vue sur la rivière depuis la chambre, la taille de la chambre, le calme, la nature tout autour
Décoration de la chambre un peu surannée mais conforme aux photos
Super clean and well presented room and property. Pretty walk in grounds - riverside and woods. Good facilities in surrounding area. Amazing trails.
Watch out for the heat of the shower. If curtains were a little bigger they would block light completely.
Very Clean room, owner was the cleaner, quiet location. It was close to skyline trail.
Greg, the manager, could not have been nicer or more accommodating! He’s an expert on things to see and do on the Island, and loves to help visitors. Beautiful and peaceful setting by the Cheticamp River!
Haben uns bei unserem kurzen Aufenthalt wohl gefühlt. Zimmer hat alles was man braucht inkl. kleinem Kühlschrank. Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiterin beim Checkin.
Mussten ein paar Spinnen entfernen. Eventuell könnte einmal in den Ecken durchgewischt werden, sonst hat aber alles gepasst.
NA
We found everything more than satisfactory.
Lovely grounds for walking ,quiet.
Proximité de la rivière ou l'on peut aller se promener.
Chambre minuscule.Le lit grincait au moindre mouvement. Les rideaux étaient tâches. Pas de cafetière dans les chambres.Une cafetière collective est a disposition à l'accueil mais il faut traverser la route et cela est très dangereux.
Beautiful setting.
Clean and cheerful motel Staff very friendly and helpful
Beautiful location along the river with a delightful walking river trail. Very gracious and informative host, Greg. Room was comfortable and very clean. Loved our view from our room to the river close by.
Host was great. View of the river was quite and beautiful. Great place to stay
Fantastic location and super neat garden with outdoor seating area with cute building. It covers basic inside facilities (without kettle) but enough for overnight stay. Office is on opposite side of the accommodation buildings open 7am-10pm. Friendly reception staff.
Nice and clean. Close to skyline trail.
The room was very clean and spacious. Property well okked after, scenic. Owners helpful. Not walkable to town and restaurants. No coffe service in room. The bathroom was spacious but lacked counter space or shelving.
Location.
No breakfast. No coffee in room.
Lovely folks managing the motel. Rooms are minimalist, but clean & comfortable. You are very close to the entrance of the Cabot Trail National Park. You are next to the river with hiking trails on the beautiful property. Lots of chairs outside to enjoy the last of the sun of the day.
Great motel, convenient, so clean, friendly helpful owners, great location
Clean, comfortable, friendly greeting and good recommendations for enjoyable supper meal with sunset. Recommend staying here.
Proximity to the the National Park and Skyline Trail
The hot water took a long time to heat up.
Owned by a couple who take great pride in their motel. Very clean and well maintained.
Nothing.
It was a lovely place.
nice halfway stop when doing Cabot trail. only 10-15 mins from the skyline trail and restaurants in town close by
The location is perfect - just outside the park entrance. Immaculately clean unit backing onto a pretty creek. The owner has created a small 15 minute walking trail and there is a large lawn where kids can play away from the road.
Can't think of a thing.
The staff were so helpful with lots of great hints for things to do in the area, bright, cute place in an amazing location.
La dame à l'accueil était bien gentille. Bien situé par rapport au parc et au village.
Équipement vieillot, lit très dur, m'a semblé un peu cher pour ce que c'était par rapport à d'autres habitations de la région (même si c'était le moins cher de la place).
Magnifique motel , très confortable et très agréable très propre et à 3 km du début de la Cabot Trail .
Everything
Nothing
Cute and clean motel conveniently located in between Cheticamp and the National Park - a great base to enjoy local hiking. The room was comfortable with air conditioning, a bar fridge and a full bathroom. The Cheticamp River runs beside the motel providing a refreshing place to stroll and dip your feet (or even swim!) on a hot day! The owners were very friendly and helpful.
This hotel is in a nice location close to a stream and walking trail. The room was clean, comfortable, and had easy access as we were able to drive up to the door. It is a short drive to Cheticamp. The owners live just accross the street, and were very friendly and williing to share information about the area. A very pleasant stay!
No complaints
The property is outside of town but has a lovely area for walking through the woods and along the river. The room was clean and comfortable.
The owner was quite rude when we arrived a few minutes before check-in time. We were prepared to wait the 7 minutes until 3 pm and had just stepped out of the car to stretch after a long drive, but he was quite pointed in looking at his watch and asking quite scornfully, what time is it? Fortunately, his wife was more pleasant.
Facilities and our room are very well looked after, very clean and comfortable
They do not offer coffee/tea service in the room
Cute. Well kept. Friendly staff. Pride of ownership
The parking lot on the back side is crushed stone and with a new motorcycle found it nerve-racking to try to turn my bike around on. it. This may be more about me than the property but almost parked down the way at the front building that was paved rather than risk bike on gravel. In the end I was fine on gravel just scary
Location was ok. Room was spacious. The rooms at the back of the motel faced a lovely garden.(ours didn’t)
Our room faced on to the highway so sitting outside wasn’t really ok. The room had a “funky” odor that didn’t go away even after having the windows open for hours. There was no coffee maker in the room and staff advised “it was because of the electrical” But there was a microwave and fridge so that made no sense. We had to literally cross the highway(the establishment straddles the highway) to get a coffee in the morning. There was no ice machine. When we asked in the morning for ice for our cooler we were given a tiny bag and were declined when we asked for more. Extremely disappointing as this was not particularly inexpensive. We booked beginning of February for June travels and didn’t get a particularly good price. DISAPPOINTING.
Great location at the gateway to Cape Breton. Short drive to town or Skyline walk.
The location and facilities were first rate. It was a haven after a long day’s driving and hiking. The welcome and information on arrival were appreciated as was the tranquility and space around our unit.
We had a great experience staying here! The room was clean and had a beautiful view of the river. Cathy and Greg also gave us a fantastic restaurant recommendation as well! We will be back in the future and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay on their travels.
Great people and good location
Location, as it's right on the edge of the park. And the owners are incredible, welcoming and helpful with information. Next, the rooms are super comfortable and clean. And finally, the property is immense and has the most charming trail to explore...oh and the price is incredibly reasonable.
This place is perfect to stay while exploring Chéticamp. It is perfectly located, very clean with everything you need. The hosts are very kind and responsive, we would definitely stay here if we come back.
I loved that it was right off the trail and easily accessible to everything you could need. The owner was also very friendly and helpful
We had a comfortable sleep at the cornerstone motel. The room was basic and clean.
Loved the bright colors. Owners were helpful. Enjoyed our stay
The location was lovely. The room was spacious.
The fridge was so noisy and the room was hot so sleep was hard to come by
Great location. Scenic surrounding. Newly renovated room and freshly painted
Well kept rooms, Excellent host and hostess. Too far from Cheticamp to walk to, 15 min drive to main centre of town
Shorter distant from town
