Arrived at Hillcrest Hall yesterday afternoon to find Wendy at the front desk. She was very welcoming and down to earth (as are all the locals). Wendy assigned us Room 5 on the second floor. No elevators as this place is a 100 year old home that had been neglected for mor than 50 years and brought back to life in the late 1990's. The decor still lends itself to an antique feel with grandmotherly decor but it is neat and clean and tidy. Our room was rather small compared to modern hotel standards but it was all we needed for a good nights sleep. The double bed was a challenge for my 6'1" husband but it was comfortable. We had dinner at a nearby restaurant (see review Clove & Hitch Bar & Bistro). Breakfast was served from 8:00-10:00 am and it was served by a lovely woman who was very friendly. She prepared fluffy scrambled eggs, sausage, home fries, cheddar cheese, toast, bagels, yogurt, coffee and juice. It was delicious and there was a pretty eating area next to the front desk area. The free wifi works fine. Parking is onsite beside the Inn. There is a very small tv in the room but only basic cable stations are available. In order to watch a MLB playoff game, we had to log into our local home network on our laptop. The Inn will be closing for the season in a few days until late spring/early summer. This venue closes daily between 9:00 pm and 7:00 am (no one other than guests remain on the property). You are given a key to enter the locked front door after 9:00 pm. Choices for nice places to stay along the Cabot Trail is very limited. I would recommend the Hillcrest Hall Country Inn to friends and family.

What a great find for our last night before the big push to get home! This is a beautiful 100 plus year old home that has been an inn for the last 30 years or so. It has been beautifully renovated and the rooms/beds are very comfortable while being decorated in old world charm. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. We loved the large wrap around porch to sit with our pre-dinner drinks and enjoy the beautiful view. Best of all for us after a long day of driving was that there is an excellent restaurant a mere 5 minute walk away, and I think there are other options for dining in the other direction. It's too bad we didn't have more time in Port Hood to enjoy the inn and surrounding area. The breakfast the next morning was fabulous - very fresh and homemade, lovely dining room and plenty of food (hot and cold) to choose from (self-serve). Would absolutely stay here again, and definitely recommend!

Greeted by friendly acknowledgeable staff who were very informative & helpful. We stayed in a cosy, clean, comfortable room which had an air conditioner and fan. In the morning we enjoyed a nice homemade breakfast. Breathtaking view of the ocean and flowers on the property were incredibly beautiful! We would definitely stay again. $240

When we saw the room which was a suite overlooking the ocean, we were so excited. Things went downhill from there. There was a little air conditioner going in the living room. The bedroom just had an oscillating fan. When we came back from dinner, much to our surprise, the room had not cooled down at all. It was miserably hot. (Were they baking muffins in the kitchen below us?) It wasn’t until about 3:00 AM that the temperature in the room became comfortable and I was able to sleep. I personally think there is no excuse for this. When my alarm went off at 7:30 AM, I dragged myself from the bed and went to the shower. There to greet me was a trickle of water from the shower head. I have long hair and it took me forever to get things done. The breakfast, which I assumed would be fantastic based on all of the rave reviews, was minimal. Not a scone nor a pancake to be found. The coffee was literally brewed on an ancient double-pot device I haven’t seen since the TV show, Alice. Furthermore, they filled the machine with a pitcher of cloudy water clearly from the hot tap just so you could be sure to get your heavy dose of heavy metals for the day. I ate nothing. We paid $278 for the room. After check-in, there is literally no one at the front desk ever again, including in the morning. I think you can guess why that is. They don’t want to hear the complaints. They don’t want to give you any kind of rebate on your room for all of the inconvenience you endured such as losing FIVE hours of sleep.

In advance of a drive along the Cabot Trail, we stayed at this family-owned inn on the “sunset coast” of Cape Breton in the town of Port Hood. We were pleasantly surprised at the charm of this place. Although there is no elevator, the room on the 2nd floor was delightful with a very nice view to the water. A short walk, and we were treated to an incredible sunset on the Northumberland Strait! Breakfast the following morning was probably the best we had encountered on our 2-week long road trip! A good breakfast cannot be praised enough!!
我们在这家可爱的旅馆度过了十周年纪念之旅。Wendy 把我们照顾得无微不至，给我们提供了一些建议和地图，告诉我们哪里是最佳路线。我们回来时，她甚至惊喜地在房间外放了一瓶冰镇葡萄酒。入住期间我们非常忙碌，起得很早，所以第一天早上没能享用免费的热早餐——不过他们给我们打包了一份车上小吃。第二天早上，我们享用了丰盛的自助餐。我们的房间和床都很舒适，旅馆本身也散发着迷人的魅力。这里地理位置优越，可以作为您的家，从这里出发，探索布雷顿角的众多景点。我看到一些其他的客人在清晨和傍晚悠闲地欣赏着前廊的美景。我很乐意再次入住这里。
总体来说，入住体验不错。房子是一栋百年老建筑，甚至能听到墙壁说话的声音。一切都干净整洁。为了确保住满，酒店经常在最后一刻打折。包含的早餐很不错。海景和岛屿景色优美。希望酒店能提供晚上给车充电的插头。这肯定会提升酒店的入住体验，因为城里几乎没有这样的插头。
不错的民宿，但谈不上特别出色。我们住了一晚海景大床房，很舒适，还配有浴缸。热早餐有鸡蛋、香肠、果汁和糕点。附近餐厅选择很少。总而言之，对于一晚住宿来说还不错。
从前廊望去，海景美极了。房间不错，床也舒服。旅馆比较老旧，所以可能会听到吱吱作响、脚步声和其他噪音。除了早餐用的地方，旅馆几乎没有公共区域，但早餐区晚上是封闭的。早餐是简单但美味的自助餐。
这是一家舒适的旅馆，房间干净宽敞。旅馆内有充足的停车位，阳台上设有座位，可以俯瞰水景。供应早餐的餐厅也设有充足的座位，早餐为自助餐形式，提供冷热菜肴。我们入住的那天，早餐有炒蛋、培根、司康饼、面包、糕点、水果和酸奶。房间宽敞，配有空调。房间的布置力求与建筑的历史设计相符，但浴室可以进行一些翻新（看起来很有90年代的风格）；如果能添加一些具有时代特色的细节/装饰，甚至摆放一件艺术品，都会有所帮助。旅馆的位置很棒，我们会毫不犹豫地再次入住这里。
