We arrived as guests, and left feeling like we were leaving home. My wife says, if we didn't have a dog waiting for us we wouldn't go back! I'm not sure what else I could give as higher praise. Yes, the drive out from the bottom of Kempt Head is a touch long, but the drive is a part of the journey and the road starts to feel like your driveway!

The bed and breakfast was not as advertised. When you book, you are booking the family suite which includes the two bedrooms. Upon arrival, I was charged an additional $25 in order to use the second bedroom. This is not acceptable and is a bait and switch. The second issue is that when they say "pet friendly", they mean that they themselves have a cat on the property that is allowed in the bed and breakfast. Even after we mentioned we don't like cats, the cat remained in our space. While the rooms are comfortable and mostly clean, there were cobwebs. The area around the house is very messy as another reviewer mentioned. It was not the picturesque location advertised.

This was our first stay at a B&B. The owner was very hospitable. Our room was quaint and the bed was comfortable. The over all country charm was very nice. Breakfast was served at a time of our choosing. Would consider staying again.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We're not trying to be unkind only honest. The outside of this place is overgrown with junk sitting around. There is no AC upstairs where the bedroom is. It is about a 45 minute drive from Baddeck where we wanted to stay and the last part of it on a dirt road. We arrived at 7:15. Saw the looks of the place and couldn't believe it. We couldn't sleep or eat at a place that looked like that and be uncomfortably hot too. We cannot understand the high ratings. At that late hour we had to go find another place to stay which was another long drive after a tiring day. Also we couldn't see the water. It was across the road and trees blocked the view. It was a very disappointing and frustrating experience.

Off the beaten path but worth finding
Very nice, clean, friendly place. The Innkeeper, Terri, was charming and gave us great advice about places to go and, especially, good places to eat. She also prepares a great breakfast herself. The B and B is on a working farm, which we found interesting. A little out of the way, but worth it.

If you like antiques and farm animals, this is the place for you! Lovely breakfast and great conversation. Only catch was we had to pay in cash, which we didn’t know ahead of time. Check in was 5:30 pm which is kind of late.

This BnB has a lovely old country style with nice touches and taste with furniture and furnishings. Lots of spacious private areas to use apart from the bedroom area. If you are an animal lover, there are the most precious animals living here - including Ralphie - the ginger house cat. Breakfast was ample and tasty with lots of local ingredients (including eggs from the property’s chickens) The host is warm, welcoming and made us feel right at home with lovely conversations that made you want to stay longer than one night. If ever back in Cape Breton, it would definitely be on my list of places to stay again and to explore the area even more.

The hostess Terri is very personable and friendly, and we had a comfortable room. A few things to be aware of: * The place is located about 30 minutes from the Cabot Trail and 20 minutes from any main road. * "Pet friendly" means there are dogs and cats in the house. * The bathroom is not off of the room.
