Top Cape Breton Island Hotel Reviews

Ceilidh Country Lodge

8/10 Good

"Rooms were small, clean & comfortable. Parking right outside your door. Breakfast was basic, with eggs, bacon, toast, cereal or instant oatmeal & coffee No fresh fruit or yogurt."

Duck Cove Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the morel for 2 nights. Its location made access to the Margaree Valley to the south and Cheticamp to the north optimal. While it was a bit aged, the motel was well maintained and kept very clean and functional. The bathroom was newly renovated. Everything functioned properly. The staffs were excellent. Check in was very quick and the instructions were absolutely clear. She also offered to lend us a kettle which to us was absolutely essential. The guy owner also ran the motel restaurant, which while it only served breakfast, the varieties on the breakfast menu and the service to the table were great, plus the morning view overlooking the Margaree River was also pleasant. The service was not the fastest, for he was a one man band. He was very friendly though and brought up a good conversation. Positive experience overall."

Hotel North

10/10 Excellent

"This is the perfect place to stay before or after the ferry. Beds are comfortable and room is clean. The stairs and elevator could use a good clean, but just a minor detail for first impressions. Restaurant attached is also good."
