Our first time exploring Cape Breton and we made this our base for a few days. We were expecting it be rustic and it sure was - a real old-style beach cabin. The plumbing had a few issues but it delivered hot water no problem. The kitchen is the front entry so a bit crowded. Still, we had a great stay. The porch and picture window allows for great views of the sunset and lighthouses at night. Colin was very helpful with our reservation when we needed to make a change. It seemed a bit over-priced for what it was but in line with other properties in the area.

Amazing property - ocean view and less than 2 minute walk to a secluded beach. Cabins are clean, well stocked and well kept. Hot water a plenty for showering. Thus is a hidden gem, two bedroom cottages, amazingly caring staff and it was just an enjoyable experience all round. 3 year old grandson was easily kept busy and loved the beach. We will be going back - again and again !!

The cottage was clean and had a fabulous view. The staff were very friendly and helpful and there is laundry available. It is very quiet and peaceful. The tv channels are very limited and the couch was not very comfortable but the cottage had everything we needed during our 9 day stay. A good location to explore Cape Breton from. 30 minute drive to Inverness and Cabot golf courses.

Lovely little cottage. 2 bedrooms. Beds were comfy. Nice view. Clean. Needs more electrical receptacles. Suggest a multi plug that has usb and c ports. TV is not a smart tv so bring your own Roku or AppleTV type device if you want to watch something. Would also suggest more wine glasses. I would absolutely stay again.

Great location and loved the beach there but our cottage was very rustic and could probably use an upgrade. It had everything we needed, maybe air conditioning would be nice.
