The place as portrayed on the website is false advertisement. Rundown, beds were terrible, old dirty furniture, the list goes on.

Overpriced, $250 for a little run down cottage where everything seemed like it came from the 1970s. If it were $100 less, maybe but not for that price. The only good thing was the location very close to the beach. It was cold at night, around 7°C in mid June, and the extra blanket wasn’t enough to keep us warm. Definitely avoid.

My husband and I stayed here three years ago, room was clean but entire place was very tired. We stayed again Sept 30, 2024. Many Many issues and still waiting on Management to address the issues. Dirty room, mould in the room, gal who checked us in, cancelled our reservation so they could not even find us in the system. Management emailed us twice, second email dated Nov 22, Kathy Graham-MacKinnon ( Manager) stated that she would deal with this early the next week.

The location is great for touring Ingonishand The Cabot Trail. The reception area is cheerful and updated. Sadly the rest of the property seems outdated and neglected. We stayed in a Garden room. The towels and bedding are new and embroidered with the resort name. Nothing else has been updated for years. The wooden slat ceiling had water stains, and was black in places. The windows were ill fitting and rattled. The furniture was old and scratched. Only two lamps with ripped shades in the whole room, so very dark. Most of our hotel/ motel stays have included a continental breakfast. One is available here..for $15! I would recommend looking at other properties if you are staying in this area. …pictures on the website are not representative of what you will find

Had booked a week for a photo retreat. They were overbooked and later asked me to share my room with a stranger, I was FINE with that and FINE with rustic run-down buildings, love that, expect that, part of the charm. Then my flights were cancelled and I called the day before to cancel and was told REPEATEDLY not to worry, there would be no charges because of the overbooking. I was charged ANYWAY, called back about that was told sorry, we'll take care of it. 4 days later and nothing. They abused the trust of someone who would have loved the place despite all the bad reviews, and that's the real shame.

We were a group of about 20. We wanted to dine together at the “resorts” bar/restaurant so a few of us asked if we could move a few tables together and would put them back in place before we left. The staff were incredibly unreasonable and rude at the idea. We would’ve been spending a lot of money and understanding that dealing with a larger group is challenging so we always tip well. After a brief argument we ended up sitting outside and ordering pizza. Also it also appears that there have been no updates to the facility in a VERY Along time. Any work that has been done is of very poor quality. They do have very nice towels and the bed was comfortable. The location is very good. The did offer us a group rate but considering the low standard of service and the state of many of the rooms it was still overpriced. I would strongly recommend finding other accommodations on your journey to beautiful Cape Breton.

Out of 5 places we stayed at during our visit to Nova Scotia (including overnights in New Brunswick), this one was the worst. I would say unfit for rental really. The property grounds and their various accommodations are all in a very poor state of maintenance. We had selected this place as our 'base' to explore Cape Breton but decided to relocate elsewhere (Baddeck) - for the better - after only one night.

It pains me to have to write this review. Four of us booked this site for a cottage overnight stay. Before we entered the cottage we knew we would not stay there. Moldy windows, interior worn out and shabby, entrance step was a tripping hazard with very small treads, and debris on the grounds from a storm that occurred 2 years previous. The whole complex shouted ‘run’ but when we went to the desk the woman there was seriously nice and offered a ‘suite’ in a newer building at the same rate. OK - we decided to stay because it was around 5:00 PM and the accommodation looked a little better. Very spacious but not clean. We moved a sofa so the 4 of us could have a better conversation and found a dirty black crumpled sock, a Cheerio and mega dirt. Beds were good. Bathrooms were just OK but convenience features such as mirrors were oddly placed, jacuzzi tubs that did not work and the list goes on. Old carpeting that has not been cleaned in many years. I wonder where Provincial inspectors are! This ‘resort’ (used loosely) should be closed and mostly demolished. Please do not stay here. Our rate was almost $260.00 and we consider it money poorly spent but more than that the experience was a downer for our trip to Cape Breton. Barb, Del, Barb and Gary.

I’m going to try hard and find positives so here goes: 1. It’s near the sea and has its own ‘beach’. Actually it’s pebbly but there are sandy beaches a couple of k further South. 2. The rooms are clean and ours, at least matched up the website photos. They had good towels and bed linen. Outside, a different story, the verandah was bare and peeling, the door was difficult to shut or open. 3. Breakfast was probably better than our experience in Canada. Although nothing was hot, they had fresh fruit, yoghurt and several different flavours of bagel. 4. Staff were genuinely helpful and friendly. Negatives 1. There was no atmosphere to the place. 2. Dinner food was very poor. 3. It’s not good value for money. 4. The general condition. It desperately needs only spent on it but is the money there and would people come.
