- Manjot (8/5): -
- Robin (9/5): Très bel endroit avec une vue incroyable! - La vue incroyable! Le petit resto-bar de l’hôtel est super! Le brunch (payants) à volonté tous les matin! La douche était comme neuve! C’était très humide dans la chambre et ce malgré l’air climatisé… et c’était mal insonorisé entre les chambres du deuxième et du premier étage…
- Josee (7/5): Really nice spot, friendly staff, great food. - Cool concept with the irish pub, trivia night. Very good food. Room was great with the upper balcony. Basketball hoop was an added touch. The floor was not very clean
- John (10/5): - Breakfast was fine with a good selection and the location was wonderful with a great view.Also the Pub has great entertainment,atmosphere and food 👍
- Lisette (5/5): -

- MacIsaac (10/5): -
- Lorraine (8/5): - The staff are great ! The breakfast was excellent!
- Kathryn (8/5): -
- Denton (9/5): Wonderful - Cozy, quite, very peaceful place. Staff was lovely, view of the water was stunning. Restaurant was very cozy and food was wonderful. Pricing was fabulous. Would recommend this place if looking for a quite , outdoor adventure place to visit. We went to Jimmy Gillis beach only a couple minutes away. It was perfect
- Jacqueline (3/5): This place has such potential if there was more effort kept into cleanliness. - Beautiful view from patio. Lovely pub on site with good food & server was great. Gorgeous scenery. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting. The tub was so dirty that I hated to try to take a quick shower at all. I took pictures of how bad the tub was. If I wasn’t so tired from the drive we would have went somewhere else but in the miserable weather we just decided to eat & collapse in exhaustion.
- Kimberlee (10/5): Nice peaceful weekend - You can’t beat the scenery. The beds are comfortable and the rooms were clean Theirs nothing not to like
- Mager (10/5): Amazing experience during the fall! - This place was a great surprised. The location is prime for views. The room was good (it could do a little tlc) but the overall experience outweighed the minor details). The kids enjoyed the play area and available games. The staff was super friendly to make sure we were comfortable. We loved it here. We went the second week of October with the fall colors in full bloom.
- N (8/5): -
- Nicole (10/5): it was a great experience with beautiful views and friendly atmosphere. - incredible views, great food and atmosphere at the pub. staff were very friendly. i don’t really have anything negative to say.
- Sonja (5/5): -
- Mathias (9/5): - Comfort, price, location, service -- all excellent! An added bonus: a comfortable pub restaurant on the premises!
- Sarah (9/5): - The location. The view. Quiet. Nice to have the restaurant right there. The beds could be a bit bigger.
- Laurie (8/5): -
- Isabelle (5/5): Schöner Ausgangspunkt für Cape Breton Ausflüge - Die Lage war toll! Das dazugehörige Restaurant gemütlich, locker und vom frisch gezapften Bier bis zum rustikalen Essen alles prima !! Gab unterschiedliche Zimmer Kategorien! Ich hatte ein preiswertes, einfaches Zimmer- meine Mitreisende ein teureres sehr viel komfortableres Zimmer- gibt also für jeden was !
- Jennifer (10/5): -
- Ann (10/5): Been back many times - Clean comfortable. Dining on site. Beauty view Beautiful view. Good service
- JapanKat (10/5): Great stopover on the way to Sydney - The location was beautiful with a view of the water, and so peaceful. The buffet breakfast was an extra charge, but it was totally worth it. Staff was wonderful, there was a great selection of fresh food, and we were very satisfied. It was easy to check-in, we had time for a drink at the bar before closing (9pm), and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was a bit dated, but other than that, clean and comfortable.
- Alan R (10/5): - The rooms were clean the restaurant food was delicious. And there was a local jam fest . I would definitely recommend staying here !
- Andrea (6/5): 2 star accommodation with 5 star service. It’s a budget friendly place with great pub. Would stay again. - The staff were very warm and friendly. The attached pub had great food, service and atmosphere. They have a regular pub night that we were invited to participate it. Views from the pub and room are excellent. Room could use a bit of maintenance.
- Anna (10/5): Siisti ja mukava huone, upea näköala ja todella ystävällinen henkilökunta. Suosittelen! -
- Talitha (8/5): I would definitely stay here again. Friendly and convenient. - We had a lovely meal with live music before sleeping very well in their comfortable beds. The bath had yellowed anti-slip strips that made bathing a little uncomfortable.
- Elaine (10/5): Lovely hotel with amazing views - The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. It would be good to have a soft chair rather than the one hard metal one. The restaurant was good with a nice brunch buffet. The view from the balcony was spectacular and the location next to the Highland Village was perfect. There were no comfortable chairs to sit and watch TV.
- Florence (4/5): - The staff were excellent! Breakfast was delicious and Billy was very catering! Sunday evening music was fantastic! We were in # 16, and it wasn't clean. The sheets were all wrinkled up on both beds, and I don't think they were changed before we got there. The bed skirt is ripped on both beds. Baseboards were all dusty. Deck was slippery with mildew if it was at all damp. Light between beds was loose at top and hard to turn on. The wall behind the desk is dirty, I assume from someone's feet. Window frames are covered in mildew. The room definitely needs attention. It is old, which is fine, but that doesn't excuse lack of cleanliness!
- Silke (9/5): Schön eingerichtet und toller Blick - Schön eingerichtet, toller Blick aufs Wasser, leckeres Essen im Pub direkt zum Hotel
- Aroshan (10/5): - Great place to stay. Be warned that there is not much around
- Louise (10/5): Atlantic Road Trip - We stayed one night at this hotel. The location is gorgeous, with a view overlooking the lake!! Beds were comfy. Dinner in their restaurant was delicious! It's basically in the middle of nowhere, but still well worth the stay!!
- ANU (10/5): -
- MargaretEV (9/5): - Friendly greeting, Awesome view,Parking near our room, Lots of hot water, Licensed restaurant, delicious food, Game night, self check out, Staff was very friendly and courteous We will recommend your place to family and friends No chairs (wing chair type) so we had to sit on the bed. Would have liked a radio too. We were hoping for live music as well...There were spider webs full of dust in several places on the ceiling, otherwise it was a nice clean room. The heat pump was very loud, made noises all night, disturbing our sleep. But during morning coffee and packing up to leave-it was quiet!?!
- Kathryn (10/5): - Beautiful view and friendly staff. Restaurant on the property has good food and full bar. We were there on a Saturday and there was live fiddle music! There is also a small convenience store/alcohol store on property which is very convenient.
- Linda (8/5): -
- kirsten (3/5): - Schimmeliges muffig riechendes Zimmer, von deluxe keine Spur, schade.
- Elizabth (8/5): - The view was spectacular We stayed two nights they never came to make beds or remove any garbage and never replaced coffee The floor was not the cleanest
- Mike (10/5): -
- Marni (10/5): - Live music with dinner. Very welcoming atmosphere
- Roberto (5/5): Despite the cleanliness issue, we had a good time, nice and quiet and fun dinner with music. - Great location. Loved the restaurant/bar beside it with Celtic music show. There was room for improvement about cleanness. The baseboards and floors were dirty (it was mopped at some point, who knows how many days before) to the point my friend did not take her shoes off and skipped the morning shower. We have pictures. The staff was friendly but busy and all she said she would speak to the cleaners.
- Darren (6/5): Nice area. - View Door latch broken, TV did not work
- Rhythm (10/5): -
- James (8/5): - Washrooms needed to be cleaned better some mold and and mildew in the tub area.
- Randy (10/5): - this hotel was great for traveling with our Pocket Beagle and is very Pet Friendly
- Krista (6/5): - Property felt a bit rundown. Room was clean but smelled of mildew. Pub was nice, great local performer but music was far too loud for the space. Ate supper there but wasn’t told there was an additional charge because there was music happening, $5 was just added to the bill at the end which was strange. Staff were all very friendly and helpful, definitely their biggest asset:)
- Andreanne (10/5): - We enjoyed the accommodation and cleanliness of the Iona Heights Inn. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The pub has delicious meals, and the hot breakfast buffet was the best experience of our trip.
- william (7/5): -
- jcbham (10/5): - Music at bar wonderful Nothing
- Jackie (6/5): Lovely people but needs a little more attention to customer comfort - Location with nice pub and right beside the Highlands museum Could not sit out on balcony due to pot smoke smell. Needed to clean the tub.
- Matthew (9/5): -
- francoise (9/5): - tres bon emplacement avec vue sue le lac depuis la chambre/ balcon
- John (10/5): Highlight of the trip - The motel adjoins the highland village which celebrates the gaelic heritage in Nova Scotia with actors who outdo those at colonial williamsburg as they are clearly retelling their family stories. We entered the room and saw our porch overlooking the sea. The food was excellent. Both dinner and breakfast. Hard to think of anything. Perhaps a desk.
- Craig (10/5): - Property is family friendly but better for couples. Love the pub and Billy the breakfast king.
- Graham (8/5): -
- linda (6/5): - Okay
- Bärbel (10/5): -
- nancy (10/5): -
- Robert (10/5): Lovely spot. Thoroughly enjoyable - Location, views, restaurant there and live music! Food was good and reasonable. Outstanding views. Everything was great. We wanted to stay longer but there were no vacancies
- Kathleen (10/5): - Beautiful view. A bit dated but would definitely stay again!
- Patricia (4/5): Disappointing……..but absolutely no reflection on the welcome received from Kim and the amazing server David in the resta - The staff was wonderful, especially Kim and David. View from balcony was lovely. Bathtub not clean, front window handle broken so window couldn’t open,no sink stopper, coffee maker had water in it causing overflow and mess, bedding so wrinkled begged the question had it even been changed., floor black when wipped, with a tissue. Music testing from somewhere in the accommodation over a loud speaker went on for a couple of hours, it stopped when it got dark making us think they went elsewhere to entertain.
- Audrey (6/5): - The fixtures in room were tacky metal cart between beds, only lighting was metal work type lights. Bed was mattress on metal frame. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Reastraunt food was good.
- Sean (6/5): - View was amazing! We enjoyed the attached restaurant. The condition and cleanliness could be better.
- Martine (6/5): - Floors and bath dirty. Broken chair inside and on the balcony. Yellow stain on the wall. Great view and loved the pub.
- Helen (10/5): - We loved staying here and exploring the Cape Breton area with this as our base. The room was comfortable, and there was a Pub on the premises that served good food. Though the breakfast buffet was pricy. The view from the room was worth it.
- Dyanne (8/5): - The restaurant/bar had a great atmosphere. The staff were very friendly. The buffet breakfast buffet offered a wide selection of food options. The furniture in our room was very dated and worn. The bed was very comfortable. Overall, it was ok for a one night stay. The views from the hotel are amazing.
- Marc (9/5): -
- Heather (8/5): Good location and friendly staff. - Great view from our balcony. It was nice to have an onsite pub!
- Grant (8/5): - Location was fantasic with a great view Considering the price for two nights, they should have breakfast included ; not charging $14.00 plus tax for each person
- Jamie (10/5): - Great value good people.
- Varun (10/5): - It’s a beautiful property by the lake with great view of the lake and the mountain. The rooms are clean and has all the required amenities. There is also a very nice restaurant that is part of the property. They host events and have a good selection of menu. I was happy to find a veggie burger on the menu which is sometimes not easy to find especially in a small place. If you are planning a trip to Cape Breton I would definitely recommend this cute little inn. The staff is also very warm and friendly. Breakfast is at an additional cost but it’s worth the price. Thank you for your hospitality!
- Dave (10/5): - Awsome panoramic view. Pub on-site. Convenience store on-site. Owners look to be keep the property updated. Glass balcony with higher railing for great views while sitting ... thumbs up 👍
- Jennifer (8/5): - Everything was great!
- Arlene (4/5): - 4 people staying in room. Room was not cleaned other than the sheets being changed and beds made. Dirty toilet, a pill and empty toilet paper roll under the sink vanity. Floor in bathroom, especially around toilet and corner digusting. No hairdryer and only 1/3 of a roll of toilet paper on holder. Not enough hooks or towel bars in bathroom. Under bed had not been cleaned in quite awhile...lots of dust bunnies and fuzz. We accidently spilled a bit of water on the floor and counter, and when we wiped each the paper towel was black. The floor was also sticky. Inside of door also had something dark spilled on it. Went to the front desk, and they did come promptly. The licensed restaurant was good, with reasonable prices. There was also a band playing, which was a nice treat. View was very nice as well.
- SCOTT (10/5): - A beautiful place to stay!!
