The Fair Isle was the perfect location for the start of our Cabot Trail experience. Two amazing dogs greeted us and yhe lady at the front desk was so friendly and even added to our Cabot Trail experience with some recommendations. The motel had a pool and beautiful views right across the street. It was very clean and we had a good nights rest. Highly recommend to stay here!

Older motel and facilities. Seemed reasonably clean and ok for a night passing through. Major downside is the dearth of dining options around; we would have had better vibes driving a little further to Baddeck.
