We were greeted by the friendly owners who not only checked us in but also gave us wonderful recommendations about Cheticamp, local restaurants and hiking trails in the Cape Breton Highlands Park. We could walk out our motel door and walk 10 minutes to some of the hiking trails in the park. Our room was spacious, clean and well maintained. It had attractive grounds around the motel that guests are encouraged to use. We would highly recommend The Cornerstone Motel to anyone wanting to take in Cheticamp, Cape Breton Highlands Park or just looking for a getaway.
