We loved having the cabin with a kitchen, and a BBQ. We were able to save some money and cook our own food. The beach was a very short walk, we wished we were staying two nights so we could have had more time on the beach. Our bed was so comfortable, and the linens were high end making it cozy and posh. The shower was very small, but nice to have a private bathroom right in the cabin. Beautiful new deck, and could park right beside making loading and unloading easy. We were able to get a roll away cot for our son to sleep on, it was a thin mattress but did the trick for one night. Loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves. It was a hot day and very hot inside when we arrived. No A.C and one window had no screen it in, same with the window in the door, luckily it was cooking down that evening and there were no bugs that night as we had to have the windows open. Also happy to have the small fan to help circulate the air. Laundry facilities were a short walk from the cabin. $3 for wash and $2 for dryer. Had to go to the main office to get change as they only take loonies. She was kind and helpful. We had our own laundry detergent but you could purchase some for $1 if needed. Facility was clean, and it didn't take long. Nice big table to fold clothes on. 2 washers and 2 dryers available. Would stay again.

No AC on a scorching day. No screen on one window so could only open one. We laughed because 2 are booked but only one chair on porch (?????) Lovely location on the beach, but the cabins need work.

The key lock on door was very difficult to operate. The toilet after flushing made loud “Foghorn” type noises upon refilling tank. I would Not recommend this property as it is way overpriced for what is offered. We were only ones in dining room for dinner, food was OK, but service was slow.

I’ve been traveling to the Cabot trail for decades, the area itself is somewhat remote with no adjacency to city centres but the scenery is unmatched. We stayed in cabin F, had a coffee maker and fridge with a bbq available for each room in the cabin. It’s a minute walk to a fantastic beach where you can catch a pretty fantastic sun rise. The sunsets behind the property over the water which is also beautiful but to see the sun come up over the cliffs with the keltic lodge and Cape Smokey in the distance is pretty amazing. There is a restaurant on site we didn’t get a chance to stop in but it close to some great little stops along the trail.

The property and location were both excellent. The staff were also very friendly. The bar & restaurant in the evening were well staffed and the food was good. We also had live entertainment and he was very good. The location near to the beach was superb and we enjoyed the morning walk at the beach. The only negative was the breakfast. The choice was poor, the only hot food was tinned sausage and powdered scrambled egg, these were in short supply and we had to be quick of the mark as the sausages arrived in batches of 6. We were a party of 5. The hot water urn was tepid at best. The breakfast was not value for money.

nice place BUT

We do like staying at the Glengorm we have stayed there a few times before over the years and really enjoyed the resort, but the room they sold us this time was not worth the money (way ovepriced). and the reason that I say this because the room had a bad smell the TV wouldnt work I tried every way I could think off but we didnt go there to watch TV so it wasnt a big deal and there was no micowave in the room also the other times we stayed there breakfast was inclued so overall we were disappointed

Room was OK and clean, but dated. Easy access to the Water saved the day for this property. Dinner in the hotel dining room was below average. There are many better choices nearby.
