Comfort with a view
As far as a country inn is concerned, this one was a delight. Jane was such a joy in every encounter. She made the visit even more special. It was a comfortable place to get away, have an adventure and rest my head.

We had a great stay here. Great pricing, beautiful location. Rooms are charming, comfortable, and most importantly, very clean. We got a free room upgrade which was awesome! Kim was so kind and made our stay very welcoming. Breakfast was simple but did the trick. Kim came around and took our egg order and made ham as well. We would definitely stay here again.

The super nice lady that checked us in was amazing. She was so friendly and accommodating. She grew up in the area and was able to give us a lot of information. Our rooms were comfortable and clean. There was plenty of socializing space down stairs with a television and large couch. The breakfast in the morning was delicious. Lots to choose from and the owner of the Inn, she was very friendly. Would stay there again!

I had booked two rooms for 4 adults, and the reservation showed just one room. Two of us were put in a dirty basement room with stained sheets. The other room wasn’t much better. The main area was decent, the staff were great, and the breakfast was great, but the rest was rather dismal.

Great place to stay for exploring the eastern portion of Cape Breton National Park. Kim (part owner) is a great host snd made us feel very welcomed. We stayed in room #6 which is upstairs (no elevator on premise) and faces the back (not ocean view). The room is pretty standard. Decor is outdated but very clean. The included buffet breakfast has a variety of breads, yogurts, cold cuts and hot dishes like sausages and scrambled eggs. Overall we had a great experience at Castle Rock Country Inn.
