Handy

A great place to stay en route to the Cabot Trail and Cape Breton Highlands NP. The staff are nice and polite and the rooms are spacious and clean. There's not much going on in Whycocomagh though, not easy to get a drink at all with most places being about a 30 minute drive away

We used this to tour around Cabot Trail and it was perfect. The accommodation was comfy and the owner was nothing short of sweet. Charlene’s restaurant is just down the road and was good home cooked food. The Farmers Daughter was great to get a sandwich and goodies in the morning.
