"We had an excellent stay at the Harbourview Motel and Port Hawkesbury was a great location to stay before heading out to drive the Cabot Trail.
We had booked one of the motel rooms online, but upon arrival the owner kindly informed us that there had been a cancellation and upgraded us to Room #1 in the Inn free of charge. If you are staying in the Inn you are able to pull your car up directly to the front door which makes unloading/loading very convenient. The check-out process was also extremely convenient as we simply had to leave our key in your room and leave. We did not visit the onsite cafe during our stay, so I cannot speak to that experience. Finally, just note the nearby streets are extremely steep, so take caution when driving to/from the Motel, especially if you are visiting during poor weather conditions."
"Beautiful, clean, quiet, secluded location on the edge of the woods. Very comfortable place with everything you need to relax and unwind after exploring Cape Breton Island. Loved the screened in porch to sit and read in the evening."
Behie House - charming home on the Strait of Canso
10/10 Excellent
"This is a charming house that worked well for us and our adult children. Beautiful views of the strait. On a very quiet road and easy to get to. Very convenient to Guysborough and St Francis Harbour. Very comfy chairs in the living room! We enjoyed our stay here."
"This was one of the best properties I've ever stayed at. Secluded oceanfront property just as described. A bit difficult to get to, but the host was great in proactively providing clear instructions. I highly recommend booking this cottage."
"We enjoyed this cute little cottage by the water. The host was super friendly and helpful as we had a late arrival. They even left fresh eggs for is as a welcome gift and had east coast fiddle music quietly playing- a nice touch!
We were a little surprised by the size of the cottage- it was smaller than the photos represented. The rooms were clean, but very small. The living space, bathroom and kitchen were also tight spaces to navigate 4 people in.
There were lots of thoughtful touches added to make this cottage cozy and inviting, but it is rustic and you have to be ok with a few insects sharing your space.
This is a perfect place it you need to just get away and relax, there is water nearby if you want to just sit and listen to the waves, and at night we experienced fire flies dancing in the trees. It made the stay magical for my daughter!"
