This is a lovely inn in Baddeck. We were too early in the season for their breakfast/restaurant, but there was an excellent cafe across the street. We got many excellent suggestions for activities, hikes, and sightseeing in the area. I hope to visit the area again and I would absolutely stay here again.

Nice Stay with Dinner.

Older motel room but clean and comfortable mattress and bedding. Unfortunatly, there was a heat wave and the floor air conditioner kicked on and off all night, so it was hard to stay asleep. The restaurant on site was very convenient with delicious food. The servers were excellent and very attentive.

The lady that welcomed us was so nice and gave us excellent information about the town and surroundings. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The owner of the House which has been in his family for many years was also very interesting to talk to and had great information to share with us about our stay. I highly recomment the Telegraph House.
