A beautiful oasis of calm

A lovely property in a gorgeous location. Very quiet - hardly any traffic noise as it is off the main road. A beautiful oasis of calm. We had a wonderful three nights here as part of a road trip and could happily have stayed much longer. The kitchen was very well stocked. Aileen was welcoming and helpful, we couldn't have asked for anything more.

A beautiful getaway with a stunning view that is within a short drive of stores/gas/eateries, as well as cultural events in Port Hawkesbury, Judique, Baddeck, and the Gaelic College.
