Peace and quiet

Stayed in one of the chalets above the main hotel. Lovely views and very peaceful, looked a bit dated especially the heaters and air con unit. Kitchenette, meant we could have breakfast in which made a nice change. About 10-15 min walk into town if you want to eat somewhere…

Great 3 day stay

We spent three days at the Silver Dart during our travels in Nova Scotia. It was a great base for our adventures on the Cabot Trail, Louisbourg, and Baddeck itself (Alexander Graham Bell museum, ceilidh, etc). The check in person was so helpful about the area, telling us about…

We spent a night here whilst touring The Cabot Trail and we were very impressed. The room and facilities were spotless and they allowed our dog (Great Dane). It is not always easy to find lodgings with such a large canine even though she never makes a sound, we really…

Our fourth stay at the Silver Dart Lodge. Beautiful views of lake from dinning room and most rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast buffet was OK, but needs variety if staying more than one or two nights. Wish they offered a breakfast menu to order from for a variety of…

Thank you for your great review and your comments of your visit with us. It is wonderful to get guest feedback so we know where we can improve for all future guests. We usually do have a full breakfast menu as well as the buffet, however, we did offer just a large buffet breakfast during our Celtic Colours International Festival! I do hope it was not too much of an inconvenience. Please visit with us again in the future. Thank you.

Worth it for the view

This lodge is about 15 minutes walk from the main part of Baddeck but it's up on a hill with a wonderful view out of the lake. The rooms were comfortable. The food pleasant enough. The staff were helpful. The local rose on the wine list at the bar was delicious. We swam in both…

For the dining package, is it just a certain dollar amount that you have for breakfast & dinner vouchers, or can you order anything off the menu and its included?

I think they cover either the buffet or to order from the menu.. not both but either .. that is how it worked for us on our trip.. this is a beautiful and tranquil place to stay... you will absolutely love it :)
