We were here toward the end of the season, so many amenities were not available. However, our room looking out to the lake was good with fluffy towels and a comfortable bed. Breakfast was continental, but could have used maybe some yogurt. There were a lot of sweet choices, but not really any savory. I was glad for the cereal. Location was good. Hotel staff was friendly and definitely on the ball. We were called early on that our reserved room type was no longer available at the end of the season and would it be ok to move us to a different room. Then, day of check in, Expedia sent notice that our reservation was cancelled, BUT after calling Silver Dart Lodge to confirm, turned out that was not true at all. I appreciated then staff the most.

Property was in good condition and room was clean. Water pressure was great. Would suggest that Expedia and property post also when amenities and services would be shutting down so travellers can make an informed choice. Was a bit disappointed restaurant was closed. Also wall was too thin . We were able to hear our neighbors having a good time. Front desk was able to accommodate and moved us to another room.

For the price, it was definitely in need of a facelift. Also, right from the get go we were told there would be no maid service. If we wanted clean towels, we got them at the reception desk. No big deal, but again, for what they charge per room…

Inn is a bit dated but clean. Housekeeping on the third day but requests quickly granted. Good location on the island. Would be helpful to paint some reflective lines near the entrance driveway to help unfamiliar visitors find it in the dark. Really nice little wooded walking path that connects to longer Baddeck multiuser trail. Breakfast buffet ok but not great.
