St Ann's Motel & Cottage

My wife and I (and our dog) spent two nights at this beautiful property on our way to driving and hiking the Cabot Trail. The owners of the motel, Tina and Vince, met us when we arrived and graciously spent time with us providing us with much valuable information regarding places to visit and possible dining choices. They could not have been more helpful during our stay. The room was clean, tastefully decorated and quiet. The beds were extremely comfortable. The room had all the normal amenities and certain extras not usually seen in chain motels, such as a toaster and tea pot. The wifi reception was excellent. The location of the motel sets it apart from other places to stay. The view from the room overlooking the water a few feet from the back of the motel was incredible. There was plenty of green space by the water which our pooch enjoyed. There are bbq grills available for use which we took advantage of. For the value, you can't do any better.

We only stayed one night but it was lovely! The view was amazing and very peaceful surroundings. Tina and her husband were very welcoming, friendly and helpful! Great location if you are on your way up the Cabot Trail ;o) The room was nice and spacious and comfy, clean and well maintained. Their is a restaurant near by and that was a bonus after a long trip on the Ferry! We unfortunately left something important behind...Tina was quick to reach out to us on our drive back home and offered to mail it to us! Very thankful for her kindness!

Would have stayed a little longer if we had time ;o)

Highly highly recommend this place!!! I only have good things to say them. We arrived a bit late on our check-in day, the owners, Tina & Vince were super nice, they even called us just to make sure everything is ok. When we got there, they were super welcoming. They told us all the secret places to go for good pictures and share their favourite restaurants. Our room was super comfy, the shower room is a bit old but it was clean and we have everything we needed. We woke up to the amazing lake view enjoying the complimentary coffee & tea in the room by the window. They even provide a nice microwave and fridge in case you need it. I feel sorry for Tina & Vince that Booking.com made a mistake with our payment they were very patient to explain to us what happened, and instead of making us pay the balance on the spot, they suggested that we reach out to booking.com first and figure out what was going on there. I really appreciate that Tina & Vince decided to waive that extra charges for us because booking.com was unable to give us an answer before we left. Will definitely visit again next time we visit Cape Breton!

The location was amazing! I don't think you would find a better place to stay on the Cabot trail. Our rooms looked out over the water. It's quiet, stunning scenery. We had a party of 5 adults. When we pulled into the gravel drive, and saw what we'd be looking at, we all gasped together. It's such a gorgeous location. The proprietor of the property was friendly and had helpful suggestions. Our only regret was that we only booked 2 nights there.

This isn't the Ritz, but we found the beds to be comfortable and the rooms were clean.

Perfect location! This motel is located in the center of Cape Breton, at the entrance to famous Cabot Trail. It also allows you easy access to eastern part of the island with Sydney and Louisbourg. The owner was very friendly, gave us great tips on local restaurants and places to see. He even shared his personal cell number in case we had some questions. The views from the window were just gorgeous. Overall I’m very pleased with this place. We stayed there three nights, but I wish we could stay there for another week or longer. Definitely highly recommended.

There is no breakfast at this location. There is a restaurant walking distance but it does not do breakfast. We were there Thanksgivings and had breakfast at the St Anns Gaelic College cafeteria. Do not know if it is available all year. There were two chairs outside to savoury the lake views. Each room looks over the lake. Our room had toaster, kettle, microwave and fridge. You are right on the water front. Nothing much around here except College.very comfortable and clean.

We loved they allowed us to stay for only 1 night and that they could accommodate 5 of us comfortably. The owners were extremely helpful, and friendly. They recommended entertainment right in St. Anne's, located at a Gaelic College! A college that teaches Gaelic language and music. The performance was outstanding. The location absolutely beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous view and a small little group of people so felt very quiet and peaceful.

A little gem of a place
