Located right on the lake shore the views are amazing and the small town of Whycocomagh is within easy walking distance. Our (upstairs) apartment was well equipped, warm and comfortable and although one bed roomed there were two double beds. The kitchen was well equipped but there was no extractor for cooking fumes and the simple task of making toast was enough to set the smoke alarm off and for some reason there are two door leading onto the outside deck/balcony one of which has a strong spring to keep it closed, so cannot be left open for ventilation. Whilst on the subject of the balcony, the views are outstanding and there are seats and a BBQ, would have spent much more time there if the weather was warmer but we did enjoy seeing the onsite Labrador playing in the water as…
If you are going to Cape Breton and don’t stay here, you are missing one of the greatest joys of Nova Scotia. From Hank the dog to the eagle and osprey nests, this place is everything you could want and more in a lodge
Our extended family of grandparents, children and grandchildren rented three units for five nights. From there we toured Cape Breton, our first visit. The units provided us with all of our needs. Having laundry facilities in each unit was most helpful as was the convenience of a kitchen for meals. The other amenities were well used by our family: kayaks and paddle boards on the lake, pool table, shuffle board and cribbage board in the main Lodge, the fire pit and Hank, the Quay's dog. Thanks Rennie for your and your staffs' hospitality.
My wife and I stayed in 1 bedroom cottage for 5 days. Actually hated to leave. It felt like our home. Great location to Cabot Trail. Beautiful view of Whycocomagh Bay. Renie very helpful in providing information and how could you not like Hank, Renie’s lab. Eat at Charlene’s. Best seafood chowder I’ve ever eaten.
such a amazing place .we had lower cabin sleeps 5-6 and everything including bbq, all pots pans dishes it is self contained with a beautiful view of bay to ocean.all you need to do is cook and clean up would go back but stay longer just a few km from Cabot trail.
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…
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…
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…
