We were delighted to find that the restaurant opened on the days of our arrival so we booked dinner and were treated to a first class meal and wonderful ambiance. The unit was really clean and comfortable. A great choice before heading home! Jordana & Lois

Stayed here for 2 nights with a 2 year old toddler. The room was very clean - better than what a star hotel can provide. The property is located right at the center of Baddeck, with lots of dining options within walkable distance.

I spent 5 days in Cape Breton and this was by far the best hotel I stayed at. Most of the other lodging options, especially deeper/father north into the park are “rustic” - stained tubs due to mineral water, cranky AC, mattresses that dip in the middle from heavy use. The Telegraph was none of those things. The rooms were modern on the inside and the staff was very friendly. Please stay here, you won’t regret it.
