"Motel has been renovated fairly recently (at least where we stayed - not sure about the two storey building attached to the office/reception/dining room). Price a bit high but in line with what we paid in other hotels of cape breton. Comfy beds, fridge, microwave, no kettle, no coffee machine in the bedroom (I think the receptionist said you have to go to the reception to get coffee/tea). For one night, this was a pretty good option."

"Our 2 bedroom cottage was amazing, very clean and well stocked with all your travel needs. The view across the river was incredible. We were 5 so the BBQ was a little small(just a table top) but it did the trick. The owner was very friendly and takes pride in her work. If you’re looking for a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature/cottage life this is a must stay. Be sure to Visit the Coop!!(they sell adult drinks too)and, there’s a great antique store across the street. 10 minutes to the right out of the driveway. The beach 12 minutes to the left. BONUS!!! It’s amazingly priced."
