Wonderful Inn with an Amazing View!

We spent 10 days around Nova Scotia and Cape Breton and this was by far our favorite stay! We had a lower level room with a beautiful view of the cove and the ocean! There were walk out patio doors with chairs for each room and every room has a view that makes the stay that much more memorable. The owners who run the motel and restaurant were wonderful and very helpful suggesting things to see and do in the area. They recommended a beautiful beach a few miles down the road to watch the sunset that we would have never found if not for them. We did not get breakfast, but it is available for purchase in the restaurant part of the Inn and looked delicious. The coffee in the lobby was hot and fresh and was all we needed to get our day started. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.
View from our patio area. Every room has a similar view.
Sunset a few miles down the road from the Inn.
Sunset just down the road from the Inn.

2/10 Poor

This hotel have zero consideration for customers issues. With AC strike, we had to cancel our trip. Almost every other hotel reversed their charges for me because of the extreme situation, but this one would not do it - even if they were informed good 2 days before. Not only that, they were a bit rude in their response. My rating is simply based on this. Besides they double charge me. And I had to call them - a bunch of times to get it reversed. Annoying.

This has been renovated since the last time I stayed and it’s looking great. Clean, very comfy beds. Will definitely stay again.
