Basic hotel located on a hill overlooking the lake. It was very quiet. There was ample parking. The room was spacious and clean, though the decor was a bit dated. The reception staff was efficient. The amenities were very good. It took about 20 minutes to walk to the main area of town so we drove, which took only 1 minute.

Nice stay in Baddeck

Cute lodge well located in Baddeck. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to enjoy the pool or take advantage of the bicycles available, due to the weather. We still enjoyed the facilities and the beautiful view on the Bras d’Or Lake. The overall look of the place is a little outdated, but has a nice old school feeling. But some details could easily be improved: by replacing the plastic cups and disposable coffee cups by glasses and coffee mugs, upgrading the restaurant menu, etc. Also, the mattress in our room was due for a change. This being said, we had a nice stay at the Silver Dart and would recommend its location, service and price!

Beautiful lake views, lovely nature trail..great customer service, front desk was excellent. Unfortunately the rooms (I asked for a different room due to the strong musty/cigarette- like smell) are very, very dated. They were clean, yes..but still felt icky to me due to the severe wear and tear. It felt like time travel back to the 60s 70s early 80s…and not in a good way. This place was probably great about 50 yrs ago.
