Silver Dart Lodge

The Silver Dart was a great choice for our 5-day stay on Cape Breton. Baddeck is centrally located, near Cabot Trail, the Alexander Graham Bell museum and an excellent ceilidh that runs every night of the week.

Staying here was a treat. Our room had the most beautiful view of the Bras d'Or, as do all the rooms. We were on the second floor of the main lodge with a shared balcony that was actually very private. We had a large, comfortable, king-size bed. The room was well-appointed and clean. The Lodge is located close to the center of town in a quiet area. Parking was plentiful and secure. The bar and restaurant were comfortable and welcoming. The staff was so friendly and pleasant. Particularly Jill and Jo, who managed the restaurant and bar with tireless humor, hard work, friendliness, and professionalism.

Friendly staff, good bar, room is old but clean. Driving distance to my favorite hiking trails.

Clean large room

Stayed here one night on our leaf peeping trip with our parents. We were pleasantly surprised by this quaint, old-fashioned feeling, “on the old highway” type lodge/hotel. Lovely spacious property, comfy beds, beautiful view, amazing breakfast for a great price, only $18 each for a buffet style breakfast with the best lake view. The ladies at the front desk were very knowledgeable about the town and very friendly. 10/10 would recommend and we’re definitely coming back next year!

Great property and a wonderful staff!

Didnt eat at the restaurant as we were out driving the cabot trail. Great take off and landing spot for this.

This property was just okay but furnishings need to be updated/looking tired. Needed ear plugs to sleep as I could hear person next door (adjoining room) snoring. Room could have been cleaner - random can left on balcony. Location in Baddeck as a gateway to Cabot Trail was great but not really walkable as on a busy road. Breakfast buffet - at an extra charge of $19 a person - was okay, not great. Some fresh fruit would have been nice.

Amazing stay in Baddeck! Everything from the staff to the (optional for purchase) to-go picnic lunches was perfect! Location is great for multi-day Cape Breton trip, though a little bit of a drive each day. Beautiful and well maintained property as well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a beautiful stay at the Silverdart Lodge. My friend and I were riding our bikes around the Cabot Trail when heavy rain left us stranded for three days. The Silverdart Lodge and their staff went above and beyond—truly amazing, incredibly accommodating, and always so friendly. The lodge provided comfort and care just when we needed it most, and we felt completely looked after. I would highly recommend staying here anytime, whether you’re exploring the Cabot Trail or just looking for a welcoming place to relax.
