I didnt fully read the description which included Motel and Dining Room. I admit I was disappointed to not be in the actual house. And, when i got to my room my disappointment vanished. Beautifully set out with lovely bedding, a wonderful bathroom with a full sized tub/shower, and air conditioning. The check-in staff helped me find an open restaurant to eat at, only a short walk away.

This is a lovely inn in Baddeck. We were too early in the season for their breakfast/restaurant, but there was an excellent cafe across the street. We got many excellent suggestions for activities, hikes, and sightseeing in the area. I hope to visit the area again and I would absolutely stay here again.

The hostess was incredibly gracious and well informed of the area. Had a welcoming and helpful attitude. Recommendations for the area and very knowledgeable! I was concerned when we got the room at the top of the stairwell that we would have to deal with noise from other people going up and down, I was pleasantly surprised that it was not the case!
