If you're thinking about unique Cape Breton souvenir gifts that will be highly prized by the recipients, stop here. It's right on the Cabot Trail, they have good parking, there's no excuse. They have the most beautiful hooked rug products in every price range. Rug hooking is a form of folk art, and a truly historic, traditional craft for this region. We are so glad we stopped in here, as our gift and souvenir buying was done when we walked out. We don't know their seasonal hours, so consult the website if you're travelling off season. They were open early October when we were there.
