"The property was beautiful and well maintained. Rooms were clean but poorly furnished. No counter space in room or bathroom. No one touched our room for our complete 3 day stay.
The restaurant opened on the last day we were there, June 20 2026 The website said opened the middle of the month. Which was disappointing as we would have liked to support it. I would still recommend this property as it is beautiful and the staff is great.
I would prefer a little better communication."
"Endroit paisible propre, accueillant. Petit déjeuner simple mais bon. Nous avons passé une excellente soirée ai Baddeek gathering ceilidh, avec la musique entraînante des Highlandes d’ailleurs"
"The view was amazing…worked out to be $111 American at the time. Standard room…two beds…hospitable staff…very quiet…I didn’t have air conditioning but there were heaters. I stayed one cold night in late June 2026. I slept like a baby…pool is open in July/August. I’m going back there for sure!"
"The dome is spacious, clean, and has adequate amenities for an overnight stay. Great location as it situated along the road and next to Tim Hortons and gas station. Staff is kind and helpful esp when the dome smelled plastic fumes maybe because of the sun’s heat, he quickly helped open the dome exhaust windows to let the air flow. The cons is that washroom is outside and shared. About two domes are functional and already open to the public, few more domes are being built. Hope they’d consider the unobstructed views from the dome otherwise it will defeat the purpose of staying in a dome not a hostel. The tub is next to the washrooms so not really inviting. You can park beside your dome but pavement still uneven, maybe they will improve it as well. Overall, it’s a value for money, a good spot to have break at Baddeck before or after a long drive between Halifax and Cabot trail. Recommended."
"This was a beautiful area and the accommodation was great ! The staff were professional, kind and friendly. The restaurant meal was delicious and well priced. So appreciated. Will definitely be back . Highly recommend"
"We really enjoyed ourselves at this B&B. The breakfast was excellent, with really good coffee. We slept well on the great beds and it was very quiet. Sorry we had to leave after only two nights."
