The property was difficult to find and there was no cell reception on the roads getting there so my GPS wasn't working, better signage from the main highway would be helpful. The fan was broken in my room and the room hadn't been vacuumed as I found a pill on the carpet and dead bugs on the floor and the remote was super sticky..ick. but other than that it was lovely.

Wonderful Place to Stay

This is an excellent place to stay. It seems a bit remote but for the value for your money, it was worth it. Vince was an awesome host. We had a view of the lake so that was very nice. the room is actually as you see on their website, so there were no surprises except they provide more then they state on the website. Actual mugs for you coffee, real glasses, Kettle, Toaster, coffee maker. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone and would definitely stay here again. Also very close to the Gaelic College and about a half hour from Baddeck with wonderful restaurants etc.
