Chisholms`of Troy Cottages: Chisholm`s of Troy Cottages

Very pricey for what is there. One bedroom with 2 twin beds, yes , twin beds. My partner has a service dog for sight impairment, not a pet friendly accomodation,which is almost unheard of for a cottage. BBQ on deck, but not covered so we couldn`t use the bbq as it typically rains in Cape Breton, no fire pit either and way to far to walk to the coastline, mosquitos made sitting outside miserable anyway on the one evening it didn`t rain. We tried to leave after the first night, but was told by manager that since it wasn`t 48 hours notice, he was charging us for the second night. So much for making the customer happy....if this guy is a Cape Bretoner, I will be surprised, very unfriendly, obviously is all about the money with this place....There was also an open fuse panel above one of the beds, which I`m pretty sure is against code, if a child had stuck a finger or metal instrument in there, they would have surely been electrocuted....Neither a pet or child friendly place, couldn`t wait to get out of there, stayed at the cottages down the road after we left, much cheaper, friendlier and closer to the water with covered verandas....would never recommend this place to anyone, unless you want to pay alot to sleep in a twin bed and don`t go outside...

Baddeck heritage House: Bed and Breakfast in Baddeck

They have two Queen rooms with private en-suite facilities and 2 rooms that share a bathroom. They offer a continental breakfast and are in the centre of the town, close to any attractions. The cost for a Queen en suite room at the end of September is $120. Not sure if that's off season rates or if it's the normal all year rate. That is a little higher but most of the accomodations in Baddeck seem to be around that price give or take $10.

We had a room on the main floor and the room was a good size with a large bathroom that had a jacuzzi tub and a nice sized shower stall. Impeccably clean. Bed was fairly comfy. There is no television in the building, however, not even in a guest lounge though one is available to use to watch dvds. They have 2 or 3 you can borrow. Ok, that's not really what you're there for anyway, is it? You can walk anywhere you need to go in the town centre, including some nice gift shops and a number of restaurants.

Rooms are non-smoking.
Owner carves wooden folk art figures and the grounds have them displayed.
There is a hot tub on the back deck though we didn't go out to see it.

Ocean View Motel and Chalets: Chalets in Cheticamp

The Ocean View has ... a view of the ocean! It's just on the edge of the village of Cheticamp and has a large property with small cottages (chalets) and a motel section with suites that have either double or king beds. Some of the chalets have 2-person whirlpool baths. Most of the chalets are not singles, they are a duplex style with thick walls between. All motel rooms are wheelchair accessible and one of the chalets is as well. Off season rates after September 15, 25% off. We booked a king suite for $95 instead of $125 for the end of September. They also offer specials and discounts for things like golf and whale watching. Online reservation form promises reply in 24 hours and it was indeed under that. Pets are welcome but at a $15 rate. Same with extra cots, $15. Children under 12 no charge (unless you're getting the cot!) Breakfast is included as the rooms have kitchenettes and chalets have kitchens. Prices range from $100 to $220.

They also have a fairly good selection of dvds you can borrow to watch in the rooms and they will offer freshly baked muffins in the morning. They don't keep tea in the rooms but I think you can ask for some teabags at the office. Better just to bring your own. There's a little fridge for your milk.

Breakfast isn't included, as I said, but there's a really good diner next door that does a good breakfast in the morning.

Free DVDs to borrow, internet access, across the road from a golf course, restaurant next to property and laundry facilities. All rooms are non-smoking.

Stacey House: Accomodation in Louisbourg

The Stacey House is a small B&B in Louisbourg, Cape Breton. There are two en suite rooms and two rooms that share facilities. The house was originally a Methodist parsonage and is furnished with many antiques. Open June through mid October. Two queen rooms, two double rooms and cots are available. The establishment is on the main street through the town and is within walking distance of the playhouse and the fortress though that's a bit longer to get to. Upper rooms overlook the harbour. Rooms are $75 to $85 per night

The house is decorated very elaborately with the antiques, floral prints, and dark wood furniture. Almost a bit too much depending on your taste though i did like some areas. The room we had was smallish, with a tiny bathroom built into one corner of the room with a small shower stall. The only real complaint i had was that the bed was hard. The mattress seemed thin and was of an older type, not the newer, thicker and padded ones. We did spend an uncomfortable night. Breakfast in the morning was really good, though, and the owner and the lady that cooked the breakfast were both very nice.

Furnished with antiques, provide full, continental or vegetarian breakfasts.

Comfort Inn: Convenient and a good price

I am from Cape Breton but don't get back much anymore. We just returned from a wedding and I was very pleased with our stay at the Comfort Inn . Its a convenient location , walking distance to restaurants and easy to find. The rooms are comfortable and a great deal considering there is a big continental breakfast included.

They have a pull out couch...my granddaughters enjoyed it!!

Sea Breeze Cottages & Motel: Poor Choice of Lodging...

Our stay at Sea Breeze Cottages was the only negative experience we had while visiting Nova Scotia. The beds were so bad I woke up with a backache. But the worst was the unfriendly, even rude, woman staffing the desk. Look elsewhere for a pleasant spot to visit when in the Ingonish area. Nova Scotia is so full of charming, helpful people - just not at Sea Breeze!

The Inverary Inn: A destination in itself

Beautiful Baddeck is a destination in itself and the Inverary Inn is a beautiful place to stay while you're here.
I've lost track of the number of times we've been here. We use to take the kids when they were little for get-a-way weekends. We've spent many New Year's Eves here in the company of friends and we've stayed here for meetings and conventions.
The resort sits on 11 acres of impressive landscaping located on the shores of the Bras d'Or Lakes and offers magnificent views.
The Inn has accommodations for all budgets and tastes. There are motel style rooms, traditional rooms, deluxe rooms, suites and cottages.
There are two places to dine, Flora's in the main lodge and the Lakeside Café by the shore, where you can eat inside or out. Thistledown's is a casual pub where you can sing along with local entertainers.
If you want to stay in shape while away, you can swim, play tennis, kayak or canoe.
The Health Spa opened this year and is the only place I haven't been so I can't comment on it yet.
Rates and packages range from $99.00 to $476.00

Pleasant staff.
Lots of activities.
Beautiful location.
Board walk.
Wedding Chapel.
Close to Alexander Graham Bell Museum, Bell Bay Golf Club.
Start and end of Cabot Trail.

Meat Cove camping area: Cape Breton Island's best kept secret

Service was good. There is a little shop where you can get meals. Restrooms are a little scary, I don't remember seeing showers anywhere (we were only there for a night). Not a good place to bring little children as the sites are high up on a cliff with no fences or barriers. I made sure I didn't even drink alcohol for fear of falling off! Absolutely beautiful views and it seems as though you are completely isolated from civilization.

All the sites are built on a cliff above the ocean. There is a path up a hill where there are even better views.

The Telegraph House: An Inn in Baddeck

This is a convenient place to stay in Baddeck . It's right in the center of town and is an quaint old inn....quite historic really .The Telegraph House, built in 1861 ,once contained the office of the first Trans-Oceanic Cable Company, some of the first telegraph messages in North America were sent from the office in the "Telegraph House".

The rooms in the main lodge are done in a Victorian Style . There's an add on motel section...not as nice.

During the summer months there is live music in the dining room.
