Wanted to rate higher but lacked things
Reviewed By puckstopper31Rooms are nice and beds very comfortable …lovely property..but that was it for us. During off season the managers are not on site so any issues you have to call them and wait till they arrive. TV cable never worked right the entire three night stay…poor pictures or no channels at all. Internet quit entirely one day…again had to wait till they came and rest everything. Hot water was an ordeal. You had to run the bathtub about 5 minutes to get hot water so it would then flow in the sink just to wash your hands.Lines always cold and needed to clear. Bathroom had no heat so tile floor was ice cold ..as was the toilet seat if you sat!..a few light bulbs also out and not replaced. This is likely a totally different hotel at peak season but other than a regular room with a great bed..that’s it for April..

one night on the water
Reviewed By Chrissiemc76Staff friendly and helpful. Lovely place right by the water with low windows and seating to make most of the view from the room. Plenty of tea and coffee.

Good Place to explore the Cabot Trail
Reviewed By ShanghaitoAsiaClose to Baddeck and the Parks Canada AG Bell Exhibition. Situated on the shore of the lake (there is a dock across the road you can use to go swimming...) . The hotel is clean, well organized and well frequented. It has a restaurant attached for breakfast and supper, while you have Baddeck and a close Tim's as an alternative

Great location but needs some love and care
Reviewed By Vancouver02We stayed at Water's Edge for one night in September, 2021. I'll start off with the positives... 1. - great location close to the village that has a couple of nice restaurants, gift shops and a good grocery store. 2.- nice view from the rooms at the front of the inn 3.- yummy breakfast 4. - great hosts that were very welcoming and informative about the area 5.- clean Unfortunately, the inn needs improvements... 1.- the access to our room was at the side of the house and the access was very dorm-like...that should have been a good indication of what the room was going to be like 2.- our room needed a great deal of updating 3.- bedding was clean but old 4.- tv was ancient with very poor reception and poor angles to watch 5.- wifi weak 6.- dim lighting and difficult to read a book 7. - everything very dated and the room rate was not indicative of this

Ok place to stay
Reviewed By 554hollyaUndoubtably a beautiful property , well maintained, across from lake and Inverary Resort , but the accommodations basic and dated. Clean with a B&B feel, sweet helpful owners/staff. Rooms are small, double beds with no fridge was disappointing when you’re travelling with some extra food and drinks. Outdoor deck nice A/C loud, tiny tv, but manageable for a couple days

The place to stay visiting Cape Breton
Reviewed By BlokWe looked for a centrally located hotel as we wanted to visit the Cabot Trail and found this hotel. The hotel is authentic, with original decor, eye for detail. Spacious room and spacious bathroom with bathtub and shower. Although on a kind of crossroads very quiet at night. Nice and friendly staff, thought of everything.
