My girlfriend and I were on a last-minute motercycle trip to the Cabot Trail last summer (August,…read more2011), and we stumbled on the Water's Edge. They had one room available so we took it. 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. :-)

The crab cakes were delicious and made with 95% crab and not filling, according to the server. For some reason my chicken came with homemade cranberry sauce and stuffing, reminding me very much of Thanksgiving dinner. We all agreed that the food was just okay, but the service was very good and it was a nice setting.

Stayed the night here on our travels through Cape Breton…read more This is a quirky place, where the rooms are quite oblong (ours had two double beds in it, with a short amount of room between the foot of the bed and the wall) The bathrooms for each room are situated across the hallway, but each room has its own bathroom. 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.

A comfortable king-size bed means a good nights sleep before enjoying a complimentary continental breakfast with fresh homemade baking including biscuits, cinnamon rolls, and bread. If you're there on weekends, you might enjoy their great selection of pizzas for a light snack or dinner. 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!

Wowzers This place…read moreis a diamond in the rough. Seems like a hometown restaurant but with BIG CITY tastes. The dining area has quaint tables outfitted with elegant black and white tablecloth's with wine glasses, water goblets, and cutlery, all laid out for you and waiting. The view overlooking the entrance to the Bras d'Or Lake is breathtaking from where you sit. The staff were very attentive, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. The bread basket (with EPIC tea biscuits) were hugged in a black napkin with pats of real butter softening in the basket. These were the best biscuits I've ever had and if they put fresh strawberries and fresh whipped cream on them in season -I'd pay good money for that!! The main meal presentations were mouthwatering. When I say it made my mouth water it is an understatement!! The flavour burst in my mouth and made my eyes close. Soooo good. I'd say with out a doubt the chef (Jason) knows what he is doing and has equally talented staff behind the scene. The portions were perfect and filling enough but when you peek at the dessert menu you'll find the room. (Hollow-leg-anyone? - yep right here!!!) The in house made ice-cream is melt-in-your-mouth-amazingly-delicious and with the home made warm brownies with hot fudge sauce made me (well Ya-know ) All in all this is a stop I will go out of my way for and YOU should do the same. Thank you for a memorable evening!! Note: Sorry, no picture of the dessert I had. Too busy eating it to take a picture. Mmmm.

The folks at this lodge were so friendly and helpful as well. East coast friendliness is definitely evident here! :) Beds were comfy and rooms were well appointed. Separate sink area from the shower/toilet room. Ample closet space. 2 comfy chairs to watch a flat panel tv and free wifi. This hotel also has a great dining room and is not far from downtown Baddeck and other attractions like the Alexander Graham Bell museum.
