Breakdast was a standard buffet. Not outstanding, as I had read in reviews. The second morning we ate at Tims. There was enough parking, but awkward for 2nd floor guests, as they oarked in front of downstairs rooms. Beautiful views, well renovated main house, several options for rooms. Great value, all in all.

We stayed in a very large room at Ceilidh Country Lodge. King bed was very comfortable. Room however was old and run down and needs TLC. When had quite a lot of wasps and bugs around windows as well. View off deck was lovely. Breakfast was nothing special. Very very basic buffet. Not quite what expected for an Inn. We unfortunately wouldn’t book again here.

check in procedure was very poor. Made to feel like we were inconvenience. We were party of 4 and advised a bus load was checkin in later and took priority. At checkin he said dont come for breakfast early as he needed to tend to bus load who were eating at 7-8am. When we went for breakfast it was cold and clearly a leftover situation. Manager1owner has only been in hospitality a short time and it showed. Far for the warm loving friendly Cape Breton welcome
