Views were amazing as well as the service and the room. The only issue was the food in the restaurant being a little overcooked but it was nothing too bad. Overall an amazing experience and we would love to return and recommend to others.

Amazing stay in Baddeck! Everything from the staff to the (optional for purchase) to-go picnic lunches was perfect! Location is great for multi-day Cape Breton trip, though a little bit of a drive each day. Beautiful and well maintained property as well.
