Our stay at the Lighthouse is always one of the high points of our trips to Nova Scotia. Incredible scenery, excellent food, and an experience you will never forget. It is certainly not a place for the traveler looking for valet service and a granite topped reception desk but if you truly enjoy a unique experience in a wild and... More

You will have to look hard to find a more beautiful location with a view to take your breath away. The rooms were spartan at best but I wouldn't say they were unclean in any way. Yes the walk up and down from your car is a bit taxing. Pack light for sure. D'arcy's easy going nature was a breath... More

We had an unforgettable experience here. Like others have said, Darcy is a great guy, very laid back and makes you feel at home in a place that is like no other. The views are unbeatable, we took a lot of pictures but it truly didn't capture what we saw there. We stayed in room #2, which was perfect. We... More

This was an exceptional experience -- just perfection. The views are unparalleled, and Darcy and crew make you feel right at home. The food is delish and the rooms are simple and cozy. Yes, it's a hike (literally), but that shouldn't be any surprise if you just check the website and the plentiful signs. Best sunrise of my life!

We have been hoping to do sea kayaking in Advocate Harbour as we've heard lots of great things about the tour and Advocate, NS. However we would have to stay overnight to catch the early start to the tour. After numerous tries by e-mail and phone call to book accommodation at The Lighthouse of Cape d'Or, I still haven't gotten... More

As we drove down the long track to the lighthouse we were starting to wonder where we were going. But as we walked down the hill to the lighthouse and cottages and the view opened up it was definitely the place to be. The owner (Darcy) is a great host and a very good cook. The accommodation is spotlessly clean... More

I suggest to anyone that you fast-forward through the very few adverse comments and rapidly decide whether this place is for you. OK, so you park at the top of a cliff and walk down a road suitable only for the light-keeper's 4-wheel drive vehicle, therefore just bring all you need for your brief stay in a small bag that...

This is an amazing location. The Views are stunning in the sunset, so make sure to take your camera! The inn keeper, Darcy, makes delicious food and is a great guy.The rooms are clean, but if you have to have internet, or cable, this is not the place for you! The house a great room for everyone to use. There... More

We started our 2 week Nova Scotia trip in this goregous lighthouse location and with a one night stay. Yes, you do need to hike down the hill to get to your destination, but we were prepared (we packed a separate bag for this location). The location is divine and just beautiful. The sleeping arrangements have a common room (couches/tv/small... More
