Ideal views and the place is spotlessly clean. Comfy bed. There’s a private trail along the river. Stones throw away from the Cheticamp Visitor Centre.

Great place but room is small. Glass shelf in bathroom is too close to sink, a couple of bumps.

Close to entrance of the trail. We were we’ll greeted and were informed of where to go eat. She even made the reservation for us. The rooms were cleaned but they have carpets and I am not a fan. The back of motel had a great view by the lake. I would try to book elsewhere next time but if this was the only available rooms I would stay again

We had unit on end of units down by river. Quiet and great view. Big room and clean. Motel is a drive out of Cheticamp, but a very short 5 minute one. And has natural setting and trails. Actually prefer it to town. Units by highway would not have window view onto river and may be less quiet, but still convenient.

Nettes Motel am Carbot Trail
Sehr gut gelegen am Anfang des Carbot Trails, ideal als Ausgangspunkt für Hikes in der Umgebung jedoch etwas außerhalb von Chéticamp (Restaurants, Hafen eher Auto als fussläufig). Das Motel war sehr sauber, die Anlage gepflegt, das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Würde es ohne weiteres wieder buchen.
