First time staying in Baddeck. Very pleased with this charming, older property. Very clean with helpful staff. Loved the character of the building. Easy access and parking. Restaurant on site with local seafood. Centrally located in the heart of town. Easy walk down to fishing wharf and shops on main street. Nice deli/bakery across the street for breakfast in the morning. Would recommend and stay again.
