It has great view, and the inside decoration is beautiful. I like the style. The breakfast was perfect with many choices. However, the room is small and a little hot, you can try to turn on the small air conditioner. The price was a little bit high.

The view from our bedroom window was amazing, the staff was polite and friendly and the property easy to find a place to quietly enjoy a coffee or bring your own drink. One km to our restaurant dinner. Included breakfast was top notch. Absolutely loved this resort.

Lovely location in Ingonish Ferry, can get warm if you don't like noisy AC like us. Overall pleasant stay, and the woman at the front desk was beneficial, and all staff were very kind. Would stay again.
