THE INN
The Glengarry was built in 1880 and has been a place for people to stay and gather ever since. The original 19th-century general store on the ground floor — untouched since the 1950s — now serves as an on-site museum that your group has exclusive access to. It's the kind of detail that turns a good stay into a story you tell for years.
Every room has been fully renovated to modern comfort standards while preserving the character of the original building. Self check-in via keypad — every guest gets their own code and can come and go independently.
THE LOCATION Dingwall sits on the north shore of Cape Breton, at the foot of the Sugar Loaf and Sam's Mountain range. North Harbour Beach on Aspy Bay is a walk down the driveway. The Cabot Trail — one of the world's great scenic drives — begins 7 minutes away.
