Nice place. Staff was very helpful. Could have used a fridge in the room, but that is my only complaint.

You have a lovely property close to nature, but if you need convenience for food, you’d be better off staying in Chéticamp’s main area. It’s about 43 kilometres away, and we arrived around 7:15 p.m. Unfortunately, they stopped taking dining orders by then, so I had to drive back and forth to Chéticamp to have dinner with my family. It was quite a hassle. If you have a family, I’d advise against staying here. Next time, I’ll stay in Chéticamp, where there are many great seafood restaurants. Besides that, the property itself was quite nice; I’ll definitely give them a thumbs up.
