Pros: Location was very nice and view of bay and harbour was great.
Cons: The room was on the ground floor with no air conditioner. To get some fresh air you could open the windows but not the blinds if you wanted privacy. So the only option was the electric fan in the room. Would have been very nice facing the ocean instead of the gravel driveway. Basically couldn't enjoy any view from the room.

Cons: A little pricey

Pros: Loved how clean and spacious the room was. We were close to the Fortress of Louisbourg and restaurants. My favourite part was the banquet dinner they hosted. This was such an amazing experience where we got to dress up and travel back in time as we ate a delicious dinner and enjoyed great live music and a show!

Pros: This was one of the nicest places we stayed in 2 weeks! The staff was phenomenal! They recommended a wonderful place to eat and great activities for us to go do. The room itself was spacious, with a LARGE bathroom and big tub. It was on the edge of town, which was better for us (only about 8 minutes from the center of town and the University). Breakfast was delicious...fresh fruit and blueberry scones. There were also yummy cookies when we arrived. This was a place I could stay for several days and a town with lots to enjoy.
Cons: Nothing! It was just a wonderful place!

09-24-2015
Pros: Wonderful sea views to wake up to from the beds in our room. Stayed 2 nights - could have stayed longer. Pole position on the Point with evocative views of the lighthouse and Fortress. Quiet location. Very helpful staff. Good breakfast at extra cost in the pleasant restaurant. Good bathroom/water pressure/hot water.
Cons: The exterior decorations to the accommodation building need renewal as paint is peeling - but this is inevitable at the end of the season in an extremely exposed position. Very large studio/kitchen/bedroom with dining table and chairs but somewhere comfortable to sit would have been helpful - difficult with 2 enormous beds - however we were out most of the time so made little difference.

Pros: The ocean-facing rooms have views that are spectacular. It was easy to find. Ample parking. The suites were spacious and very clean. Staff was very helpful.

Pros: The location and staff were fine and friendly. The room was very nicely decorated. Comfortable bed, views, etc. were very good.
Cons: The price was almost twice that of the other 5 places that we stayed in during our trip. The bathroom was not sparkling clean (hair in tub, soap scum on ledges, etc.).
There were no hotpads or kitchen towels, no paper towels or dish washing liquid in the kitchen. We just had to make do and so we were not able to clean the kitchen properly. The place came highly recommended, but the price and the bathroom problems made our stay less than desirable.

Pros: We arrived after a day at the fort. As we checked in,we were greeted by the friendly staff. After talking and feeling like we known each other for years we went to our room. The room was very spacious which was a plus since we were traveling with a 16 month old and had a pack n play..the room and bathroom were clean. The rooms didn't have air conditioning however there was a nice ocean breeze. All and all my experience was a positive one and would recommend this property to anyone.
Cons: The breakfast was little over priced for what it was. It was still good though.

Cons: Unfortunately the walls are quite porous with sounds of very heavy footed people above us keeping us awake well past our desired bed time, and the sound of running water through pipes that resembled a volley of fast moving water being ejected from the floor above to the ground below
