The view from the East block room, and the chairs outside so we could enjoy it, were appreciated. Very comfortable beds and soft towels. However the place looked a bit tired and a musty smell permeated the room and hallway. Tub drain slow.

We stayed for 3 nights at the Silver Dart on a recent trip to Cape Breton as a couple on holiday from Scotland. Baddeck is a good location from which to explore all the island has to offer and the Silver Dart is conveniently within walking distance of the centre where there's a good choice of eating places. We had a comfortable stay and were impressed by the standard of facilities, size of room, outside sitting area and surroundings, including wonderful views over Bras d'Or Lake. We had one evening meal and breakfast each morning. Food quality was excellent, with good choices, and service extremely efficient and friendly. The lodge is in a quiet location ensuring a sound sleep, with comfy beds and two chairs for relaxation. Coffee/tea making facilities provided, fridge, and an ice machine close by. We had such a wonderful stay at Silver Dart so I have no hesitation recommending it to travellers looking for a nice base to tour Cape Breton. Staff couldn't have been more friendly and we would definitely go back another time.
