A wonderful respite after a long day in the car. Nicely appointed rooms and a great restaurant and bar. And live music the Friday night we were there! Service was friendly and helpful. We felt truly cared for.

 Verified A great lakefront place to stay
The reception was welcoming and despite the "Pirate Festival" being on, the lady dis not rush and even made our dinner reservations. The rooms are small-ish but updated and clean. Pub and Restaurant are excellent and so are menu and food quality.

Great night eating and the music with Eddie Cummings. Angie is so nice and efficient. I’m always floored by her memory. I’ve had Sarah also and she is great. Wendy the manager is super accommodating and so nice ty food is always great but the one thing that always separates this inn from other places is the entertainment that is always provided

We had a celebratory supper here and a few weeks ago we were here again for a tribute and I can't say it enough how wonderful the atmosphere was and food. The waitresses were amazing, food was hot and great prices. You have to go here ! Hidden gem of Cape Breton

 Verified Cozy rustic vibe :) Wonderful stay!
My husband and I came to NS from Ontario to celebrate our 40th birthdays. We stayed at the Bras d'Or Lakes Inn for one night after driving the Cabot trail. We loved the Inn! Super cute rustic vibe with a great restaurant and live music (a Friday night stay). We loved the electric fireplace in our room, gave such a nice cozy ambiance. Loved the comfy king bed!! At dinner we had white wine and shared a variety of scallop appetizers. They were the best scallops I've ever had!! Melt in your mouth perfection. The service was wonderful, very friendly chatty waitress :) Such a beautiful area even in the rain!

 Verified Wonderful Gem of a Place
Right from the moment my husband and I walked in we were welcomed and felt at home. We took advantage of The Kayaks that you offer when we first arrived and we also dined in the restaurant in the evening and had the braised short ribs. By far the best we've ever had. We did go down to the desk and ask a lot of questions for the first little bit and your staff member Wendy made us feel like we were right at home and we were no bother whatsoever. The rooms were beautiful and modern with a touch of rustic which we loved especially the little fireplace and the complimentary water and coffee was a lovely touch. The little things are the things that many establishments forget about nowadays and thankfully you did not. We had a wonderful day and have already rebooked for next summer. Thanks again to your staff and especially Wendy.
