“Bad reviews on Trip Advisor Confirmed”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011
4
people found this review helpful

Checked out tripadvisor before i booked, saw mainly good comments and a few bad thought I'd book anyway. Point of the trip was to be in Cape Breton for the changing of the leaves.

Anna sent me an email 6 days before our arrival date saying that she was sorry but she would not be around to host me as she had gotten a job out west, needless to say I was less than impressed.

Further more i had originally posted the actual email Anna sent however it was removed as you are unable to post quotes on tripadvisor and someone complained about this, I can only assume it was Anna as i responded to her cancellation email stating that i posted it to this website.

Just thought i would share. And found it interesting that no attempt was made to retain us as customers in the form of a discount on future stays, or something...............

I can tell you i would never book with her again.

FYI: We ended up booking at Oakwood Manor and it was excellent.

“Pleasant stay in Pleasant Bay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

This is a little pricey for a B&B but good value and great host. Food was outstanding. Anna the owner knows how to treat her customers. Walking distance to harbour and whale watching (ask Anna about discount for whale tour and free entry to whale interpretation centre). You will not be disappointed at Highland Breeze.

“Another wonderful stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

There's something to be said for familiarity.I stayed at Anna's B&B two years ago and it left me with the longing to go back.The three of us headed back on Sept.17th/2011 and although Anna was not able to be there we were treated very warmly and the house has a calm that you need when your world is upside down.We as a family had a very unsettled week and right up to heading out, trouble was trying it's best to get us to cancel again.But,I held on to the hope of Anna's place of solace and sure enough our blues were lifted,my pain level down from a long soak in the hot tub and a renewed interest in Astronomy.To look up on a crisp Sept.night and see the big dipper and shooting stars reminds me always to thank God for the gifts we so often overlook by life's trials and tribulations.

Room Tip: The french suite is good for a couple and a friend.You have privacy if needed and vice versa.

“A Wonderful Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Although we only stayed one night on Sept. 1/11 we wish we could have stayed longer.
We stayed in the French Suite and loved the smell of breakfast cooking in the morning. It made my mouth water. We had an additional room off our bedroom that holds a Murphy Bed, which made it seem very spacious Anna loves to bake, and we were the lucky recipients. If you go out to dinner in Pleasant Bay you might enjoy the Rusty Anchor Restaurant. Simple but good food.We had a great time. Chatted with our neighbours all through dinner. However, if you're smart you get back to Anna's before 9:00 PM so you don't miss her baking. In addition. If you are fortunate enough to get there when she is baking bread you will not leave until all the bread is gone. Thank Anna for a wonderful stay. We have forgotten about other B&B's but not yours.

“We would absolutely stay again.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

We spent 3 nights in the French Suite which was spacious and very pretty. It is two adjoined rooms, one with a bed and another with a murphy bed. When the murphy bed is not in use the room serves as a very nice reading room with comfortable rocking chairs. The bathtub is a one person tub with whirlpool jets and nice to relax in after a day hiking the trails in Cape Breton. I would suggest sleeping downstairs if you prefer to sleep through breakfast as the room is near the kitchen, though I liked waking up to the smell of cooking food. Breakfasts were great and very filling. You are really encouraged to make yourself at home here and service went above and beyond. We were late for dessert but some cake was always left for us to eat when we got in. While we stayed there, Anna was on vacation but Michelle and her husband, Ron were running things. They were very friendly and helpful. We went on our whale watching tour with Ron as our captain, as he also works for Captain Mark's Whale Watching, which was lots of fun!
