The setting could not have been more beautiful. We stayed in the older “main” lodge. Not super modern, but that was a big part of its charm. Enjoyed a short hike along the Middle Head train which started just a few hundred yards from the lodge.

The property is beautiful with amazing views. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The middle head trail is supposed to be a wonderful hiking haven but it was closed due to recent fire in Nova Scotia. Otherwise, the beaches are excellent options.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Keltic Lodge. The staff were reasonably helpful and nice but not the best service ever. Really stunning property with amazing views and we appreciated the landscaping on the property. The room was dated but in a quaint way. We particularly appreciated how clean everything was.

The main lodge was fairly loud so neither of us slept well - can’t say it was worth the price. Nice location and beautiful views though.

Great place to stay!

This was a great place to stay while skiing near by. The hotel had the most beautiful view of the hills and water. The room was clean and big, had everything we needed. My only complaint is that the TV is across the room from the bed and makes it very hard to see. The room we had was a premium room in the Corson house, which is where their main desk is located on the off seasons. Pulling up to the main lodge it looks extremely run down and I would have been scared to stay in that location. All together this hotel is beautiful and worth it when staying in the area!

An overpriced hotel, badly run by a government agency. It is in a wonderfull location with a prime golf course. Unfortunately it is badly maintained and has lost its former quality. Staff is uninterested, installations often out of service and the restaurant has an atmosphere of a bad office cantine. One of the locations that still live of the reputation it had some 20 years ago.

The room was small and not worth the money. Just be careful if you have trouble going upstairs, there is no elevator in the main building. The room and place needs to be updated.
