A wonderful one night stay at the Glenora Inn and Distillery. A nice change from chain hotels. Loved the pub, the whiskey tasting and the great live music. Our waitress Grace was so helpful with travel tips for our journey the next day.

Rooms in old section where we were put in badly need an update. Floors in upper rooms squeaked horribly and woke me often. Dinner was delicious but tables too close and overpriced for what it is.

Loved the property - the Distillery building was iconic in look and the grounds were very well maintained. The Pub and restaurant was great and the live music was perfect for atmosphere. Staff was extraordinarily friendly and helpful. Loved the proximity to Inverness but also the quaintness of being situated in the valley. Great night time exposure to the Red Moon!

Glenora Distillery is a unique place to stay along Cabot Trail/Cape Breton. Our room was comfortable, yet for the price I would’ve expected a little higher quality linens, towels.
