My husband and I stayed one night in the Lighthouse Room at the Spinning Wheel B & B. This room has an ensuite bathroom with shower only. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. There are two other rooms on the main floor with a shared bathroom. There is also a sitting room with TV available for guests. We had... More

We only stayed one night, (Sept. 20th) wishing we had stayed another.. When we got there, Joanne wasn't home , but there was another lady who dealt with us. She was very helpfull. We got lucky, as we had a room with a shared bathroom, and no one else was booked in.. so we had the place pretty much to... More

The Spinning Wheel is a delightful B&B with a helpful, friendly owner who lives downstairs. She suggested we go to a concert at the Louisbourg Playhouse which was a highlight of our visit. Local band playing Cape Breton music. The rooms were clean, but very small, still at $65 it was great value and the cheapest accomodation we had in... More

We checked in after a day of Canadian history at the Louisbourg fort. When we arrived, Joanne the owner was not there and there was someone else there to check us in. She went straight to business, and was not overly chatty, which has not been our experience at other B&Bs. We left for dinner but upon returning, Joanne was... More

The place is impeccable and the hostess very hospitable and accommodating. She made the breakfast earlier than usual time as I had to drive off early. And the hearty 'skip lunch' breakfast! love those fish cakes.

Stayed here two nights so that we had plenty of time to visit the Fortress. The main floor of the house accommodates 3 pairs of guests. One bedroom has a private bathroom; the other 2 rooms share. We had the place to ourselves both nights. As others have mentioned, the living room and TV are available to the guests. The... More

My husband and I spent one night at this B&B, before visiting the Fort at Louisbourg. Our room with ensuite bath was plenty large enough for us and our bags and was very quiet. We were minutes away from the Fort and our breakfast was so plentiful that as Joanne stated, no lunch was needed! Joanne and Ward have a... More

We arrived late, hungry and tired but Joann saved the day. She called up a local restaurant to tell them she was sending us over and willingly did the check in routine when we came back. The restaurant stayed open to serve us even though it was closing time because of Joann's recommendation. Our rooms at the b&b were very... More
