After surfing the net and consulting "Doers & Dreamers Guide available from www.novascotia.com (Good Guide/Good site)We booked 2 nights in Antigonish and 2 in Port Hawkesbury...........bad move............the hotels we stayed in are part of the Maritime Inns Group but do not hold a candle to the others in Pictou & Baddeck far nicer places to stay...........travel the extra mile....miss out 2 nothing towns with nothing to offer! Get in the car and go on the Ceiidh TrailVisit Inverness.Go and see Antigonish University only thing worth doing. Go to Baddeck or Ingonish or indeed both
