The owner / manager was very nice Shaun, he gave us so many suggestions for places to eat. We were upgraded too as we had kids travelling with us to a bigger room :-) . We will come again . Thank you

I feel that the property should fully disclose that they are really a motel without a restaurant during off season. There is an Inn, which is being renovated and a restaurant that is closed from Sept to July… so I really feel, that they incorrectly advertise themselves on expedia. This bothers me… It is in a good location, the staff are friendly and helpful and lots of parking when you’re the only guests. I was really disappointed that we did not get to stay in the historic Inn but out back in the small motor inn… I was shocked. It spoiled my holiday…We recovered but please advise others… If you book on Expedia, you end up in a motor motel and not a lovely historic Inn with some Alexander Graham Bell and 1800’s history… I am still sad, my apologies but I must caution others…

Older style three storey house had appeal. Carrying bags up three flights of stairs to room on third floor lost that appeal. Small room - overpriced - value for money spent. Was able to get a 5 star hotel in Dartmouth for the same price. Price gouging in a tourist area always turns me off. Pigeons cooing on roof during the night was an annoyance. overall the room was very clean.

Disappointed
Stayed in motel part. Clean. Very "vanilla"room. White ceiling, white walls, white bedspread. No pictures. Felt very cold, not visually pleasant. Only 2 coffees, no tea.

The hotel lacks many in-room needs including luggage rack, laundry bag, extra pillows, uncomfortable bed with very lumpy mattress is my biggest complaint.

Dated, but very clean and comfortable
First impressions can be deceiving! On checking in the first thought was that the property needed some TLC; and was not well maintained. How wrong, though. Though the facility is dated, the room turned out to be wonderfully clean and comfortable. Moreover, the staff was excellent. We enjoyed a very comfortable stay at the Telegraph House and in the town of Baddeck (definitely go to the coffee shop across the street and to the nightly Ceilidh just down the street).

It was a cute Motel well kept. Clean. The A/C machine was hooked up to the front window which sucked in air from the two people smoking out front of their window. Eww! Otherwise very lovely.
