Wonderful Place to Stay

This is an excellent place to stay. It seems a bit remote but for the value for your money, it was worth it. Vince was an awesome host. We had a view of the lake so that was very nice. the room is actually as you see on their website, so there were no surprises except they provide more then they state on the website. Actual mugs for you coffee, real glasses, Kettle, Toaster, coffee maker. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone and would definitely stay here again. Also very close to the Gaelic College and about a half hour from Baddeck with wonderful restaurants etc.

The location and view can't be beat. Easy off the highway and can sit in front of our picture window and be right next to the ocean water gazing across the bay. The owners were beyond helpful giving us suggestions on places to eat, see and do. They were a big help.
