Friendly staff. Nice location. A lower price option for Cape Breton. No food options in the area if you’re arriving late. Right next to the Highland Village Museum.
Shannon, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful property with Great Lake view. The night we stayed had trivia night at the pub restaurant and it was jam packed. Great staff and has a great vibe to it. Premium suite rooms 10 and 11 came with balcony and lake view. The amenities are basic but very clean and comfortable stay! Highly recommended for the great staff, food, bar, and rooms with gorgeous view!
Rajal, 1-night trip

Our stay was comfortable and relaxing — the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. And the highlight? The breakfast! Absolutely delicious and the perfect start to our day.

This is an interesting motel with a lovely view and friendly pub. It's a bit dated but upgraded and clean. The Highlands museum next door exceeded our expectations. We'd stay at this inn again.
