The resort is right by the water and takes only a few minutes to drive to the village where there are little shops, bakeries and restaurants. We got the traditional two queen beds. The room was small, dated and very humid. We were on the first ground floor. Our friends were next to us and their room was moist/ humid too. Another family was on the second floor and it was not as humid. There are no elevators so if you have trouble with stairs you may have to request ground level. The pool was a hit for our kids. The adventure centre has water sports equipment avail for $. They have spike ball for free. Some of our members spent time at the nightly fire and enjoyed meeting new guests and spending time chatting. The daily breakfast was good as it was included. Get there early. Order from a menu style. Service at the breakfast was good. The grounds are pretty. I think for the price of the resort made the stay acceptable. If it was any more I am not sure I would recommend because of the dated rooms and humidity. There is a laundromat in town if you need. I went to get coffee every morning in town at the wheeler cafe. New owners and they just opened six weeks ago. Lovely little wee town.

This was a lovely historic building with a good location. The building itself and our room on the third floor was everything we had been led to expect. As an old building the climb to the top could be challenge for some, and we made sure not to haul our suitcases all the way up, but instead just unpacked the things we needed for one night. The room was clean and bright with uneven floors and a nice balcony. It was a bit noisy in the evening as every footstep in the hall could be heard I. The room but luckily most people went to bed fairly relatively early. It’s important to make reservations If you want to have dinner at the restaurant. We did so and very much enjoyed our meal. Only one small glitch was that the toilet in the bathroom made dripping or running noises that were a bit annoying. But the staff were very responsive the next morning and I trust they will have that fixed for the next guests. We love this hotel and would definitely stay here again. Given that we were on the third floor it would be nice to have a coffee maker in the room, but we also appreciated that Coffee was available at the reception desk in the morning. One interesting titbit of information was that Alexander Graham Bell and his wife stayed here back in the day And their room is still decorated in the fashion. It was at the time. It is room number one and we were lucky enough to be able to peak in and take a look at the room in the morning after the previous guests had checked out.

My husband and I stayed 3 nights. This was a great location for us, walking distance to the waterfront park, as well as two gift shops, a good pizza place, and a great cafe for breakfast. The room was clean and comfortable and it was quiet. Convenient location. We didn’t eat in the dining room so I can’t comment on that. There was a small park and tourist info place directly across the street and a convenience store next door. We were happy with our choice!

We arrived at the lodge with no reservation. I asked if better to booked through booking or then. He told me them. So I did and proceeded to fill in the form. Went to our room. It’s smelled like mildew and the sheets on the bed were damp. I have sever asthma so my husband went to see the front desk for a refund as there is no way I could spend the night there. He told him that the system doesn’t do refund. It wasn’t possible. He then proceeded to show me 2 more rooms and they were a bit upgraded but upon opening the door it was the same smell. I asked him again to give me my money back as I was really not satisfied with any of the room. He said no. The system doesn’t do refund. So we lost the money we had to this place who basically robbed us and had to book another hotel as we were 5 hours away from him. Do not go here. Front desk personnel was not professional. How can you rob someone of $200 when someone has health issues and can’t breath when being in one of your room. Would never ever ever recommend this place. Outdated hotel rude staff and thief’s.

Our family found the Trailsman to be clean & well maintained. The staff were friendly, helpful & professional. The included breakfast was generous & well prepared. The grounds were well kept and the pool, though small, was convenient for families. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Trailsman a great place to stay, while in the Baddeck area of Cape Breton.

We fit five people in one room for two nights. We had two double beds and a rollaway bed in there. It was a bit tight, but it worked. One problem we had was that the air conditioner was dripping water, until my sister-in-law turned up the heat, which seemed to fix it a bit. The second morning we were there, we had the breakfast from the hotel pub. It was buffet style, cost $14, and was worth it. They had the usual bacon, eggs, sausages, hash browns, yogurt, cereal, plus fruit cups and overnight oats. There may have been more that I missed. I ate more than I usually do for breakfast.
