My family (grandparents in their late-80's, parents in their mid-50s, uncle, fiance, and myself) took over the English Country Garden B&B. It was absolutely picturesque and EVERYONE, regardless of age, fell in love with the place and owners. My grandparents, who have limited mobility, were content to sit in the sitting room with a view of the lake/pond, my fiance... more

We stayed in the Rose Cottage & it exceeded out expectations. Wonderful experience & beautiful setting. Dinner & breakfast were delicious. We wished we allowed ourselves time to stay a few more days. A great place to unwind & feel pampered. k more

We stayed in the russian room for our honeymoon and it was incredibly spacious and beautiful. We also had dinner there one night and it was amazing. From the appetizer to dessert, we wanted to eat more but were completely stuffed. For a B&B, they had small tables for meals, so couples got to eat by themselves and not have... more

The grounds are beautiful and feature flower gardens, lawns, forest, and a lake which is home to beavers and apparently also a moose. A canoe is available for guests to take out on the lake.

My wife and I stayed at the English Country Garden B&D, in the Russian Room, last summer. We had a great stay. The room was extremely comfortable, and the owners had great suggestions for restaurants and activities. I would highly recommend this to couples traveling in Cape Breton. more

Guests are the priority for the owners, and they make sure everything is perfect for you, without being overbearing. This would have been a perfect place to stay for... more

We made reservations at ECG for but one night, mainly to break up a long day's drive, and that turned out to be a mistake. Had we known then what we do now, we would have booked all of our stay in Cape Breton with Penny & Co. and made day trips to Pleasant Bay, Baddeck, Louisburg, etc. from there.... more

My husband and I researched for weeks the proper location of where we wanted to stay on the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. We had the good fortune to come across English Country Garden B&B and Penny and Ian. We stayed in the Rose Cottage (which is really more like an incredible cabin) and loved it. We... more

We were lucky enough to spend 4 days with Penny and Ian at their comfy B&B in the very roomy Russian Room. We had a very comfortable sofa and wing chair for lounging, a super king size bed and very large well-appointed bathroom. We had direct access to the outdoors with its lawn and lake (and Borus the moose). The... more
