Spent 2 nights here. The room, King bed, was clean but quite dated. Breakfast was not special. It was tough to get the toast toasted. In one corner of the dinning room there was quite a draft. The property was convenient, and a easy walk into the town. The view from the prperty is good and the grounds were well maintained.

Check in was easy and smooth but from there it went down hill fast. Doors to the room don’t seal. Very old carpet. Bathroom toilet was running. Bathroom was very dirty and caulking everywhere had let go. 2 pillows peer bed and where very flat and uncomfortable. Tx was fuzzy on every channel. When it came time for breakfast it was horrible. We poured some glasses of very watered down orange juice and there was stuff all floating in it. There was zero options for a healthy food. Just cereal,breads eggs and bacon. Then watched a staff member used a handheld broom to clean a mess on the floor and then used it on the table where all the food was located. Was a terrible experience and the price didn’t reflect the quality of accommodation.

The Ceilidh Lodge was just what we needed for our 2 day getaway to see the Autumn colours on the Cabot Trail Conveniently located close to dining and shops in Baddeck- owners very welcoming and accommodating as we had a small dog. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, good food and very well set up to serve yourself. Staff very professional and nice calming music played at breakfast

The room is very dated and is really old . Walls and door frames need to be repaired . In this day and age you think you would get more that a few channels and no sports . Firstly the fron test said there was sports channels .. when the young man came to fix said no . Wouldn't ever suggest this property

A king size bed was too big for the room. The shower curtain was full of pink mould at the bottom and the bathroom needs to be cleaned better. Breakfast was good and no issue with parking.

Breakdast was a standard buffet. Not outstanding, as I had read in reviews. The second morning we ate at Tims. There was enough parking, but awkward for 2nd floor guests, as they oarked in front of downstairs rooms. Beautiful views, well renovated main house, several options for rooms. Great value, all in all.

We stayed in a very large room at Ceilidh Country Lodge. King bed was very comfortable. Room however was old and run down and needs TLC. When had quite a lot of wasps and bugs around windows as well. View off deck was lovely. Breakfast was nothing special. Very very basic buffet. Not quite what expected for an Inn. We unfortunately wouldn’t book again here.

check in procedure was very poor. Made to feel like we were inconvenience. We were party of 4 and advised a bus load was checkin in later and took priority. At checkin he said dont come for breakfast early as he needed to tend to bus load who were eating at 7-8am. When we went for breakfast it was cold and clearly a leftover situation. Manager1owner has only been in hospitality a short time and it showed. Far for the warm loving friendly Cape Breton welcome
