The view from our bedroom window was amazing, the staff was polite and friendly and the property easy to find a place to quietly enjoy a coffee or bring your own drink. One km to our restaurant dinner. Included breakfast was top notch. Absolutely loved this resort.

Pros: Amazing view and space outside to sit and enjoy it. A/C worked great. Location was close to the golf course we played at and the Skyline trail on the Cabot trail. The breakfast was pretty good. Cons: With a decor redo this place would be awesome, with fixing up what they have, it would be pretty good. As it is, it would be hard to recommend to friends.

We chose this property because it was on the Cabot trail. We wanted something comfortable and with a good view. The Inn had a homey feel and you felt safe. The gentleman at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful with restaurant recommendations. The room was homey. We chose it because it was able to sleep 3 people, which it did but it was tight. The breakfast that was provided was excellent with hot and cold choices. The views from the property are gorgeous.

Friendly, helpful staff. Ocean view rooms are quiet and comfortable enough. Outdoor deck and lawn are nice sitting spaces. It’s older and a bit dated but that’s also what gives it some of its charm.

A very lovely old property. We were comfortable and everything was clean but it is definitely showing its age. Very welcoming and lots of communal space on the deck and the lawn. Nice breakfast with everything you could want including seats on the deck to eat with a view. It was quiet. A short drive took us into Ingonish for supper.
