    The only thing we were missing a bit was a movie channel.

    We loved the location and the room was very comfortable and had a great view. We would stay here again when back in Baddeck.

    FABULOUS!!!!

    • Stayed 4 nights

    The armoir/TV door was broken. The owner did check it out - his response to our advising the staff about this, was almost immediate (which I felt was really good!!) but the solution was to just tuck the doors back and leave it open. We were under the impression that it was going to be fixed the next day - but it never was fixed during our stay. The A/C ducting was right outside our bedroom window and the noise was very loud - so sleeping was difficult - needless to say the window was closed at night! Good thing I had earplugs!!! Our room was at the back of the Inn - so I would suggest getting a room at the front looking towards the water. I would do that next time.

    Breakfast at The Freight Shed was AMAZING!!! The staff were kind and so attentive!!! The location on the wharf was just lovely - especially in the early evening, with the view and the food!!! We ate there every morning (as the breakfast was included in our room) and had dinner a few nights!!!

    The hosts warm welcome and attention to detail to ensure our stay was very comfortable by checking our needs were fulfilled in the room in person. Room was furnished charmingly. The short walk along the coast and harbour for breakfast was a nice aspect

    The breakfast was a voucher for the restaurant which was across the street. Of course breakfast cost more than the voucher ! But the food was great and the view was spectacular.

    The location was great. Close to the water. The view was great.

    Everything was good. No suggestions for improvement needed.

    Baddeck is a wonderful location and this Inn is right on the waterfront. The rooms were nicely furnished with comfortable beds and all the amenities we needed. The breakfast coupons provided for the Watershed were ample and the food delicious. The staff was friendly and more than helpful! We would come back in a moment!
