Very quiet location with an amazing view. The Chalet we stayed in was spacious and very clean although a little dated. Staff were so friendly and the buffet breakfast was great. The property is about a 10-15 walk into Baddeck which is charming and has great restaurant options.

It was a lovely hotel, they accommodated a room switch which was due to taste rather than having anything to do with the room provided. Restaurant is lovely, as is the view. It's an older hotel but rooms were in good shape, clean and comfortable. Staff extremely friendly. We enjoyed our stay.
