Was a great stay over all. Only 2 negatives Beds were very firm and didn’t have a BBQ for our room as described. We had 4 adults and 2 kids with a dog and we had way more room than we needed for our stay! If you have pets it’s very pet friendly the staff loved to see all the dogs around. Would definitely recommend and if in the area again would definitely stay here next time.

Host was very friendly and because of the early season and room availability she upgraded us to a nicer room, with 2 beds and a view of the ocean. Great location. Wish the restaurant was open but again too early in the year. Would stay again and recommend to friends and family.

This is a fairly large property has access to a beach at the end of its property. It is comprised of different types of structures spread out throughout its grounds. Our room was facing the roadway and it appeared to be an older section of the hotel. The room was clean but it was very dated. It was almost impossible to get an internet connection, making it difficult to search for anything. The location is a few short minutes from Ingonish Beach. There is a restaurant and bar onsite, plus a few really good restaurants around it.

we had a great stay here during our time in cape breton. the location was great, the private beach on the property was beautiful. i forgot the lady's name at front desk that was working on the evening of june 22, 2026, but she was so helpful in figuring out if we should drive to the skyline trail for the sunset. it was quite cloudy in ingonish that time, so we were unsure, but she checked online, gave us some tips, and we saw one of the best sunsets of our lives. i think it started with an L. anyway, i hope she sees this or someone shows her. she made our stay so much more special!

We stayed here for a single night while driving the Cabot Trail. Overall, it was a very comfortable, solid stay, though we wish we had a bit more time to fully experience the property. The one-bedroom unit with the pull-out sofa was very spacious and gave our group plenty of room to relax without feeling cramped. The location is incredibly convenient, with a lot of different restaurants in the surrounding area. While there is a restaurant right on the property, we chose to head out and try a few of the local spots nearby instead. The highlight for us was definitely the beach access. The resort has plenty of places to sit right by the water, which made for a beautiful, peaceful spot to watch the sun come up in the morning. It’s a nice, dependable place to crash during a busy road trip. If we pass through the area again, we'd consider staying for a couple of days next time to actually unwind and get our money's worth from the beach layout.
