Ceilidh Country Lodge

This hotel room was borderline poor. The room lacked a welcome mat to wipe soiled winter boots at the entryway. The bathroom was basic, with the bare minimums and lacked shampoo. The towels were rough and thin. One of the mattresses was comfortable to sleep on while the other was at the end of its life and needs replacing. There is a functional mini fridge availble along with a coffee machine.

Paper-thin walls so you could hear every person coming & going in the building. Glad it wasn't fully occupied or we would've never slept.

A lovely location with lots of parking and wonderful breakfast. The main house has the reception area and dinning room for breakfast. The big porch offers a seating area and would be wonderful to sit on when the weather is nice. The rooms are a little dated, but clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is a good selection of hot and cold items for breakfast. It is close to the Main Street where you have plenty of dinning option.

room could use a major update, although very clean, its a standard low end motel. tiny tv

The location is great and the views are lovely. Rooms outdated and the rooms have that sketchy motel smell, wouldn’t calm the rooms clean but they weren’t awful either. Staff was friendly. Just meh.

Very outdated property.

Very friendly and accommodating staff

Was nice for a one night stay, I wouldn't want to stay longer. Breakfast was just ok.

We had the loft. It was located on the rear of the main building with only having one small window, so it was dark. No view from the room. Headroom was also an issue ( I am 6’2””talk) due to low vaulted ceilings. Closet space and table and chair was difficult to use due to low vaulted ceiling.

Room furniture dated. King room cramped.

Beds were very comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast.

Lacks USB charging outlets

We booked our stay at Ceilidh Country Lodge because of its close proximity to the Cabot Trail. We were a party of 4 booking 2 rooms. The rooms were terrible, bathrooms in particular. The toilets were round basin, lowest possible height that can be obtained. Sink in our room were in terrible need of replacement, enamel was scrtched like someone used steel wool on it, our other guests said the same of theirs, along with hair stuck in the radiator. The toilets were way overdue for replacement. The toilet seat looked like it was never cleaned but it was because the material was deteriorating to a point it should have been replaced years ago. We didn't dare to use the shower as that sghould have been replaced a long time ago. The 2nd floor railing around our building's deck was far beyond a paint job. I only have to wonder how long before someone goes through the railing with wood rot around window frames, balcony posts and doors. A lot of it is esthetics but a good majority is also a safety concern. Property is also in great need of a paint and wood replacement as we seen lots of rotting wood all around in traffic areas. We were in the front building so not aware of the condition of the back building. We were all disgusted in the condition of the property and disappointed the description didn't tell us what to expect. Personally I gave it 2 stars, but probably deserved only 1 star but the continental breakfast was actually quite good. Cleaning was mediocre.

Breakfast was good, missing fruit.

This was a decent stay. Good bed and shower, and the room was quiet But, the layout of the room is just odd. The TV is in a large cabinet with doors, but the doors don’t open very far, so you have to be on the bed to see the TV. And, you can’t pull the TV out on the tray because the cables aren’t long enough. Also, the small table doesn’t function well as a desk, and you can’t work and watch TV (see previous item). The heat uses an old fashion knob type thermostat that was unpredictable and way off the markings. I wound up turning it off and dealing with a chilly room. The interior seems to have been updated recently, but the exterior is in need of some major TLC. Would I stay here again? I’m not sure. It got the job done, but there were to many odd things.

The outdoor grounds are beautiful! The rooms need an update but the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately, the fan/air conditioning did not consistently work and the room was very musty. The free breakfast was sufficient and the staff were fantastic.

Spent 2 nights here. The room, King bed, was clean but quite dated. Breakfast was not special. It was tough to get the toast toasted. In one corner of the dinning room there was quite a draft. The property was convenient, and a easy walk into the town. The view from the prperty is good and the grounds were well maintained.

This location was adequate for our needs.

Check in was easy and smooth but from there it went down hill fast. Doors to the room don’t seal. Very old carpet. Bathroom toilet was running. Bathroom was very dirty and caulking everywhere had let go. 2 pillows peer bed and where very flat and uncomfortable. Tx was fuzzy on every channel. When it came time for breakfast it was horrible. We poured some glasses of very watered down orange juice and there was stuff all floating in it. There was zero options for a healthy food. Just cereal,breads eggs and bacon. Then watched a staff member used a handheld broom to clean a mess on the floor and then used it on the table where all the food was located. Was a terrible experience and the price didn’t reflect the quality of accommodation.

The Ceilidh Lodge was just what we needed for our 2 day getaway to see the Autumn colours on the Cabot Trail Conveniently located close to dining and shops in Baddeck- owners very welcoming and accommodating as we had a small dog. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, good food and very well set up to serve yourself. Staff very professional and nice calming music played at breakfast
