We had the loft. It was located on the rear of the main building with only having one small window, so it was dark. No view from the room. Headroom was also an issue ( I am 6’2””talk) due to low vaulted ceilings. Closet space and table and chair was difficult to use due to low vaulted ceiling.

We booked our stay at Ceilidh Country Lodge because of its close proximity to the Cabot Trail. We were a party of 4 booking 2 rooms. The rooms were terrible, bathrooms in particular. The toilets were round basin, lowest possible height that can be obtained. Sink in our room were in terrible need of replacement, enamel was scrtched like someone used steel wool on it, our other guests said the same of theirs, along with hair stuck in the radiator. The toilets were way overdue for replacement. The toilet seat looked like it was never cleaned but it was because the material was deteriorating to a point it should have been replaced years ago. We didn't dare to use the shower as that sghould have been replaced a long time ago. The 2nd floor railing around our building's deck was far beyond a paint job. I only have to wonder how long before someone goes through the railing with wood rot around window frames, balcony posts and doors. A lot of it is esthetics but a good majority is also a safety concern. Property is also in great need of a paint and wood replacement as we seen lots of rotting wood all around in traffic areas. We were in the front building so not aware of the condition of the back building. We were all disgusted in the condition of the property and disappointed the description didn't tell us what to expect. Personally I gave it 2 stars, but probably deserved only 1 star but the continental breakfast was actually quite good. Cleaning was mediocre.

This was a decent stay. Good bed and shower, and the room was quiet But, the layout of the room is just odd. The TV is in a large cabinet with doors, but the doors don’t open very far, so you have to be on the bed to see the TV. And, you can’t pull the TV out on the tray because the cables aren’t long enough. Also, the small table doesn’t function well as a desk, and you can’t work and watch TV (see previous item). The heat uses an old fashion knob type thermostat that was unpredictable and way off the markings. I wound up turning it off and dealing with a chilly room. The interior seems to have been updated recently, but the exterior is in need of some major TLC. Would I stay here again? I’m not sure. It got the job done, but there were to many odd things.

The outdoor grounds are beautiful! The rooms need an update but the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately, the fan/air conditioning did not consistently work and the room was very musty. The free breakfast was sufficient and the staff were fantastic.

Spent 2 nights here. The room, King bed, was clean but quite dated. Breakfast was not special. It was tough to get the toast toasted. In one corner of the dinning room there was quite a draft. The property was convenient, and a easy walk into the town. The view from the prperty is good and the grounds were well maintained.

Check in was easy and smooth but from there it went down hill fast. Doors to the room don’t seal. Very old carpet. Bathroom toilet was running. Bathroom was very dirty and caulking everywhere had let go. 2 pillows peer bed and where very flat and uncomfortable. Tx was fuzzy on every channel. When it came time for breakfast it was horrible. We poured some glasses of very watered down orange juice and there was stuff all floating in it. There was zero options for a healthy food. Just cereal,breads eggs and bacon. Then watched a staff member used a handheld broom to clean a mess on the floor and then used it on the table where all the food was located. Was a terrible experience and the price didn’t reflect the quality of accommodation.

The Ceilidh Lodge was just what we needed for our 2 day getaway to see the Autumn colours on the Cabot Trail Conveniently located close to dining and shops in Baddeck- owners very welcoming and accommodating as we had a small dog. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, good food and very well set up to serve yourself. Staff very professional and nice calming music played at breakfast

The room is very dated and is really old . Walls and door frames need to be repaired . In this day and age you think you would get more that a few channels and no sports . Firstly the fron test said there was sports channels .. when the young man came to fix said no . Wouldn't ever suggest this property

Breakdast was a standard buffet. Not outstanding, as I had read in reviews. The second morning we ate at Tims. There was enough parking, but awkward for 2nd floor guests, as they oarked in front of downstairs rooms. Beautiful views, well renovated main house, several options for rooms. Great value, all in all.

We stayed in a very large room at Ceilidh Country Lodge. King bed was very comfortable. Room however was old and run down and needs TLC. When had quite a lot of wasps and bugs around windows as well. View off deck was lovely. Breakfast was nothing special. Very very basic buffet. Not quite what expected for an Inn. We unfortunately wouldn’t book again here.
