We treated ourselves to the Harbour Loft; a lovely spacious suite with two sitting areas, a huge soaker tub, a big bathroom with two sinks (much appreciated each morning!) and a very comfy bed. Yes, the harbour is a working harbour but that did not detract from our enjoyment of the room. As expected for a heritage property, and much like in small European hotels, there is no elevator. Baggage must be brought to the upper floors via an external staircase. This wasn't a problem for us, but might be a consideration for elderly guests. The Inn is a ten minute drive from the Fortress of Louisbourg. We planned our visit to arrive in the afternoon, visit the Fortress the next day, stay the 2nd night and then begin our drive to Cape Breton; worked perfectly. The breakfasts at the Inn were plentiful and delicious. We had two dinners in Louisbourg, One at the Spoondrift Cafe which is a two minute walk from the Inn and another at the Bothy at North Star. Both excellent. We're very happy to highly recommend the Inn.…

From our extremely comfortable room, two excellent breakfasts and convenient location, we knew we'd made the right decision. Very convenient for the Fortress at Louisbourg and two wonderful restaurants are a short walk away. Would recommend this place without hesitation.

As we drove up, we could tell that the picture online must have been taken some time ago. The building needs painting as do the back stairs which you have to use to get luggage in the building. The view of the harbor is obstructed by ugly industrial buildings. We were put in room 1. It is a nice sized room with a sitting area. Bed was good. Unfortunately, the bathroom was tiny- the smallest sink I've seen and there was mold in the shower. There was only one other set of guests and they were put in the next room. Why? They got up earlier than we did and the running water in the bathroom sounded like it was in our room. It was also noisy at night with the wind blowing. We went to the owner's cafe in town for dinner. It is just one year old and the food was good. Breakfast at the Inn was very good. The town is depressed - not too nice to walk around. Although the reservation print-out said there was a tv in the room, there is no tv on the property. This was a big disappointment for us as we really wanted to see a sporting event. The owner was very understanding and was gracious in refunding our next night's stay so we could get to a place with a tv. We appreciated his understanding.…

Where do I begin? With the Beautiful, clean rooms or the delicious and creative breakfasts? The good humor and personality of our host, Parker, or the sweetness and efficiency of our server, Denise? We brought wine to enjoy on the 2nd floor deck and when it was too chilly the next afternoon, we moved down to the living room. Louisbourg Playhouse out the back door. The Fortress of Louisbourg a short drive away and a wonderful trail to walk along the water near the fort. We walked to dinner at the Foggy Hermit. Our two nights at the Inn were splendid! Highly recommend!

This house has everything a traveller needs. First impressions are critically important and you will be completely taken with this establishment. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The beds guarantee a good night’s rest. The decor needs a second mention. Someone has very good taste and throughout the house the small artifacts, most with a maritime theme, work together to describe the character of this house which was the former home of the owner. It is beautifully done, both in the individual rooms and the public areas. To gild this lily even further, you will be treated to one of the best breakfasts offered anywhere in Cape Breton. Not inexpensive but a satisfying, memorable place to “drop anchor” for a night or two.

Lovely historic house in the centre of the village and walking distance to restaurants and shops. We had 2 rooms, both very nicely decorated and with fabulous views over the sea and harbour area. It was warm, clean and the bed was very comfortable. One of the rooms had a balcony so was great to sit on and appreciate the evening sun. We enjoyed our breakfast and our host was really friendly and knowledgeable. This B&B is very handy for visiting Louisbourg Fort.

We arrived earlier than usual check in,Parker graciously welcomed us and told us the history behind this Inn. The room was very clean and accomodating. The included breakfast was beyond our expectations! Hats off to the hostess Denise who gave us the inside scoop of the area and for our journey ahead to Cabot Trail.

This B&B is terrific. The location cannot be beat, the bed was firm and comfortable and the breakfasts were delicious. The rooms are nicely decorated and many have views of the harbour. Parker is a hoot.

We stayed here for a weekend and were quite pleased with our room and the inn. We were in room 1 at the front - airy and spacious, with a small private balcony. There are hardwood floors throughout with tiled bathrooms, but it was surprisingly quiet in there even with most of the rooms occupied. There are no tvs, but WiFi is good. We had access to a larger balcony facing the harbour where we enjoyed relaxing in the evening. The inn itself is very clean and neat, with many antiques and books everywhere for guests to enjoy. The owner, Parker, was a welcoming and gracious host. Morning breakfast was delicious! Given its’ central location, you can walk to most attractions in town. Glad to have discovered this little gem and highly recommend.

An old captain's house carefully renovated with a nautical theme.A friendly welcome from Parker, the owner. Our room (No.1) was at the front. It was light and airy, spotlessly clean and very comfortable with all the usual facilities. The balcony was pleasant and good for watching the world drift, slowly, past. Car parking fine. The Inn is pretty much centre of the town and a very good base for the area. As it was quiet we had breakfast Foggy Hermit Cafe which is also owned Parker. Very good and included in on the room price. Moans, vey few, we could hear the next room's shower (at 6:00) and we had to pay for orange juice for breakfast as it wasn't included in the price. Fond memories as I write this piece. Need to go back again !
