For one of the few accomodation options in the area, it was clean and quiet so that was a plus. The "Reserve now, pay later" was not applicable as they charged for the room 3 days prior to arriving. So where it tells you that you can pay at the accomodation upon arrival, this is not correct. They will charge your card before you arrive.

The lady at the front desk was funny, energetic and very fun to deal with! The room was clean, and had been renovated lately. Even with the AC on, it was a bit humid, but this was during a very hot week, so that might be why. A good stay, with a very nice view!!

The owners were very nice. Despite telling Expedia on the phone they would not charge a fee for service dog, they did. That said, they were helpful. I can tell they are working hard to improve the property, so there are pails of tar around, along with other supplies that could be a hazard, but that’s temporary. The views are stunning. Our room was very well furnished with an unusually comfortable bed. It was a very good sleep. I’d go back for sure.

Wonderful Inn with an Amazing View!

We spent 10 days around Nova Scotia and Cape Breton and this was by far our favorite stay! We had a lower level room with a beautiful view of the cove and the ocean! There were walk out patio doors with chairs for each room and every room has a view that makes the stay that much more memorable. The owners who run the motel and restaurant were wonderful and very helpful suggesting things to see and do in the area. They recommended a beautiful beach a few miles down the road to watch the sunset that we would have never found if not for them. We did not get breakfast, but it is available for purchase in the restaurant part of the Inn and looked delicious. The coffee in the lobby was hot and fresh and was all we needed to get our day started. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.
View from our patio area. Every room has a similar view.
Sunset a few miles down the road from the Inn.
Sunset just down the road from the Inn.
