We had an upstairs room in the main building, adjoining the office and restaurant, and I am sure these must be the best rooms to have - they have balconies with a beautiful view over the river. The room was clean and appeared to have been quite newly decorated although the furniture was old and the beds creaked every time... More

We were fortunate to find this place, it was listed in the Doers & Dreamers Tourist Guide which is a great resurce - and they will send you one free when you're planning a trip. Plus the Park Guide at the entrance to the Cabot Trail was nice enough to suggest we call ahead to make a booking, then she... More

Best pancakes and homemade French caramel sauce I have ever had! Waited 2 years to have them again.........Still great! Sorry didnt stay at hotel.

Although the Inn itself is only a remnant of its former glory (I grew up in the area), and clearly needs much in the way of upgrades, the breakfast we had was fabulous! a full breakfast with eggs, sausage, home fries, toast and coffee for two -...

We stayed at this hotel while travelling the Cabot Trail. The island was booked and the Duck Cove inn was the only thing available in the area we were in - I now know why. We had a choice to stay in the two storey motel, or the one story units, we went into both, the one storey units smelled... More
