Friendly, helpful staff. Ocean view rooms are quiet and comfortable enough. Outdoor deck and lawn are nice sitting spaces. It’s older and a bit dated but that’s also what gives it some of its charm.

A very lovely old property. We were comfortable and everything was clean but it is definitely showing its age. Very welcoming and lots of communal space on the deck and the lawn. Nice breakfast with everything you could want including seats on the deck to eat with a view. It was quiet. A short drive took us into Ingonish for supper.

Poor Customer Service

The stay was adequate enough but upon checkout, we thought the amount seemed higher than what we thought - mentioned to the person at the front desk that it was booked through Hotel.com and they said- “yes and you pay here” so I paid the amount and then checked my booking which was 43.00 less. The booking had all of our details and provided a total amount (taxes included), which was 276.76. The hotel charged more 319.44. Truthfully we would have stayed at a different place. I am sorry but this was not an over 300.00 a night stay, it just wasn’t. So before you pay here, make sure you check your booking and DO NOT pay if it is more. I was told that the hotel would not issue a refund in the amount that was overcharged. This is terrible customer service on the hotel and hotel.com. This is false advertising.

Good - Old fashioned, quiet country hotel with amazing views over the Gulf of St Lawrence, excellent choice of breakfast foods with plenty of healthy options and lovely room. Only slight downside was the restaurant is not open this season which meant going back out when I would have preferred staying in after a long day of driving.

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.
