The staff is great to work wIth and very friendly, and the view from the front porch is incredibly relaxing.

The price was very reasonable, the room was large, clean, and very comfortable ; also within walking distance to 2 of the most popular places in Cheticamp.

The room had a little balcony to sit outside on and enjoy the fresh air. The Patton had a screen door as well.

Plenty of space and a great view of the landscape. We were in cabin 11 which isn't too far from the reception (where meals are served, wifi, and board games) but if it's raining I recommend taking the car. There is a beautiful beach very close by (10 minute walk not even) and it was great to visit at night and in the day. The staff is great and the service is excellent.

Not being familiar with the area, we took a risk selecting this accommodation. We were not…read moredisappointed at all! Upon arrival, we asked the front desk staff a number of questions about the area, and were expertly directed to the places and activities we were interested in. We made a reservation for dinner and were seated by the window with a view of the ocean. The waitstaff was very pleasant, and the food was divine! We had the spring salad, which had a medley of local greens (even some mint!) along with rhubarb, baby turnips, and a delicious dressing. My husband's steak was cooked perfectly rare--just how he likes it--and the accompaniments were steamed fresh asparagus and amazing mashed potatoes. I had the fresh halibut, reportedly right from the waters visible from our window--and definitely tasting as so--served with fresh asparagus, and roasted red potatoes and turnips. Dessert was lemon cheesecake with blueberry sauce drizzled over, and warm apple spice cake with homemade maple ice cream (to die for!). After dinner, we enjoyed a walk on the property's beach to watch the sunset, sitting in Adirondack style chairs. There was a spot for a fire, but we didn't have matches to light it with. Our room was one of the log rooms, which are 3 to a building--all facing the ocean, with large sliding glass doors and a small front porch. We were in the middle room, so the porch was private with walls on each side. The beds were incredibly comfortable, with fluffy pillows and crisp, fresh linens. The bathroom was spotless, with extra towels and toiletries. The one downfall to this room was the level of noise present from the other two rooms; we could hear the conversations from both sides. However, the view made up for the noise! A continental breakfast was included, and had a variety of homemade muffins, incredible bacon cheddar scones, and oat biscuits (my new favorite treat to go with my coffee!). There were also a few different cereals, as well as hard boiled eggs and fresh fruit. I took a to-go coffee and sat on the bluff enjoying the morning sun. We only stayed one night, but should've stayed our whole vacation! We will definitely be back--we loved it!

The room key opens both the room door and the bathroom door... but to get from your room to the bathroom, even in the middle of the night, you have to leave your room and go across the hallway. As I said... quirky. However, the rooms are clean, there are nice seating areas located around the place, and we slept well. Room Amenities: - Cable/Satellite television - Wi-Fi Down the hall there is a common kitchen area as well as a fridge, which is meant for travelers to store their medication that needs to be refrigerated, but we used it to keep some luncheon meat cool. There is also a gym, but it has seen some better days. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel, though it seems to mainly produce pizza at night. In the morning they serve a continental breakfast for free, and it quite nice to sit there and talk with the kitchen staff and owner. Locally, there is a pub down the road that features live music most nights, highly recommended if you are in the mood for some local music and a brew.

An outdoor wooden patio and a large parking area immediately adjacent to the inn add to your convenience in this affordable spot run by conscientious owners. Top marks for quality and price here!

Every unit faces the Ingonish Harbour and what a treat it was to watch the sunset and, subsequently, the sunrise the next morning. There's also a deck behind the unit with a bench and table and chairs. Parking is in front of each unit. Upon entering the room there's a small kitchen storage cabinet with a microwave, coffee maker, kettle, a couple sets of crockery, and a small table and chairs. On the other side of the room there's a mini fridge. The bathroom had its own heater but it didn't work and the bathmat did not stick to the bathtub. Be careful of slipping while showering.

Our group of ten family members stayed here recently and were sadly disappointed. The…read moreaccommodations are not actually a lodge, but rather a hotel. The views were fantastic and our room was comfortable but certainly not a lodge experience as advertised. Our dinner in the restaurant was a disaster from the beginning. We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation so expected a slight delay in service. That delay eventually became on hour before the last person in our party was served a drink. The only wines available from the wine list were much more expensive than those unavailable. The vast majority of the beer selection was also unavailable. This was communicated to us after a thirty minute wait after ordering. The wait for food after ordering was two hours or more. When it did arrive it was cold and obviously had been sitting for quite some time. The staff don't appear to work together, while waiting for our meals, some servers were setting their tables for breakfast. We were told there was no manager available to speak to us but eventually someone came and comped some of the items. Breakfast was great the next morning with lots of options.

The room was comfortable and clean, and had a great view of the water. Wanda the cleaning lady was extra helpful. The staff gave us tips on the best places to see around the area. We went kayaking, visited the Alexander Graham Bell museum, and drove around the Cabbot trail. It also had a cool gallery of local artists in the Inn. Over all, we had an amazing stay, and most of it was because of the Water's Edge giving us such great local tips. If we go back, we will definitely stay there again, as it's located perfectly in the center of all the best sites in Cape Breton. I wrote this same review on Trip Advisor, and I just joined Yelp, so I figured I'd start out by reviewing this place. That's how much we liked it. :-)
