I stayed for a couple of nights in August, then came back for 4 nights in October. The location is fantastic, great views, and centrally located. Equal distance to Sydney, Baddeck, and the Causeway. The owners are friendly, helpful, down to earth people who enjoy what they do. Did I mention live entertainment and a pleasant restaurant on site? I... More

We stayed here on our road trip through Nova Scotia and Cape Breton. It was conveniently located just steps from the the Scottish Highland Village. Room was clean and comfortable, with an excellent view of Bras d'Or Lake. It seemed new or newly renovated, and tastefully decorated. We ate breakfast in the attached restaurant,which was very good and reasonably priced,... More

My husband and I underestimated the time it would take to get to Iona once we arrived in Cape Bretton. The owners were very accomodating to us when we called multiple times to get directions (as we were navigating in the dark and on roads that we were unfamiliar with). We knew we would arrive after the restaurant was closed,... More

Very nice Inn overlooking the most beautiful Bras d'Or Lake in Cape Breton. We had two rooms with kingsize bed(32/31). Great restaurant, live music, wonderful people and we were with our good friends to enjoy it. ***Located just steps from Highland Village Museum (must explore). We truly loved it. More

We stayed at the Inn for our sons wedding. Susan and Barry the owners were so helpful and kind we greatly appreciated all they did for our family and friends. The view is spectacular which reflects the warmth of the owners. The room and bathroom were very clean. The restaurant is cozy, the food well prepared. If you have an... More

The view from this motel is breath taking, we liked it so much that we spent 4 nights here. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. This is a place that we are planning to come back too, our next big trip to Nova Scotia. It is so central that you... More

We left everything to live and travel in our 1972 VW Bus. After months on the road and traveling Canada we arrived late Thursday night in Iona. We only stopped for directions at the Inn and when we looked inside, everyone was clapping and singing to traditional Celtic Music coming from the live musicians in the dining room. So, of... More

This place is amazing! Clean rooms and premises, incomparable views of the Bras d'Or lakes from every room, heart-warming hospitality, and meals to revive your soul from being on the road all day; that's what you'll find here. In addition, the Highlands Village Museum is just next door as well as Christmas Island, which feature a chock-full of cultural activities... More

Beautiful spot at the gateway to eastern Cape Breton. Beautiful room with a gorgeous waterfront view from our 2nd floor balcony. King sized bed (always rare in a hotel). Owner made us feel at home with her warm welcome. Really enjoyed our meal in the on-site restaurant. Very tasty with fresh ingredients and local entertainment. Amazing breakfast the next morning...
