When you drive into the gates of this property, you are immediately impressed with it. However, the interior of the rooms is another story. We spent 2.5 weeks all over the Canadian Martimes and this was our last stop. It was by far the worst bed we had the entire trip. It was like sleeping in a hammock as the mattress was very old and had given out in the middle. Our bathroom, upon arrival, had used washcloths hanging in the shower, which was off putting. Our arrival was late (Note, you HAVE to let them know you are arriving after 8pm) and the reception was hurried with little instructions - we didn't even understand how our room worked! No breakfast or food of any kind on the property - which to their credit, there is a bakery five minutes walking...we didn't bother to tell…

Hi KETB! As you can imagine when we read the subject of your review we are concerned and want to take measures to ensure the bed issue is addressed. If you could give us a call or email info@kelticquay.com we would like to know the exact bed that had issues and get it replaced ASAP. We are of course very pleased you liked the grounds and the other items you had mentioned like the washcloths and check in will also be reviewed with the team. The quality of your stay is of the utmost importance and we hope when you return you consider giving us another chance to host you. We hope you had a safe journey home and again we welcome a call or email so we can make things as good as possible for any future stays.

We stayed three nights at Keltic Quay. It’s like staying at a family compound, rather than a lodge. The owner is so friendly. She introduces you to her dog Hank and her eagle friend, Harry. The rooms may not be five star compared to a Four Seasons, as they are a bit dated, but they are perfect for families. We stayed in the Wycocomagh Suite, plus had one smaller room. The beds are comfy, the bathroom is big, the kitchen is complete, plus there is a bbq to use. The grocery store is a short distance away. We loved having a big table to play games. If you are from the US, you get the Boston TV feed. Unfortunately, it was a little too chilly and windy for us to enjoy the lake, but it looks like kayaking and boating would be really fun. We also didn’t use the game room, but it has…

Hello Travlin Mom! We wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for your 5 star review. We really appreciated your detailed comments on what made our cottages and lodge a good fit for you and your family. Very nice to hear that Renie, Hank and Harry all met with your approval and we will see what we can do about updating the rooms, if you have any suggestions on that front we would love to hear them at info@kelticquay.com, don't worry we thrive on suggestions from our customers. It was also very kind of you to highlight the area and the proximity to some pretty awesome destinations, folks who read these reviews do not often realize just how central we are to a TON of fun and beautiful places. Hopefully we see you again when the weather is warmer so you can try out the lake. Wishing you and your family all the best - James

Best place we stayed in the whole of our recent Nova Scotia tour. Renie the manager here makes you very welcome and she is personable, professional and takes a real interest that you are relaxed and comfortable with your stay. Worth paying the extra few bucks to stay in a lovely place like this.

Immaculate cottages, well maintained and spotless. We had everything we needed to feel right at home for our 4 night visit. The grounds are so well groomed. The cottages all face the lake. It’s so pleasant to just sit on the deck and take in the views. You couldn’t get a more central location to visit Cape Breton Island. Thank you Renie for making the 4 of us feel so welcome!

I live in Nova Scotia and although it's a beautiful place in summer and fall, it can be very daunting in winter. This winter in particular has been very cold with little snow in the area where I live, so I decided it was time to get out and find some snow. In Nova Scotia that means going to Cape Breton where there is usually an abundance. Keltic Quay has a beautiful location right on the shores of the Bras D'Or Lakes which in February means a frozen expanse upon which you can skate, snowshoe, ice fish or if there's a recent snowfall, cross country ski. You can also watch the eagles that regularly hang out on the ice not far from the lodge. Another very popular activity is snowmobiling with the Cape Clear trails giving access to hundreds of kilometres of Cape Breton…
