Our stay at this hotel was very comfortable. The location was excellent, right near shops and restaurants. We went to the Cabot the next day and the drive was very close. The staff were very friendly and the room was clean. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

This is a lovely inn in Baddeck. We were too early in the season for their breakfast/restaurant, but there was an excellent cafe across the street. We got many excellent suggestions for activities, hikes, and sightseeing in the area. I hope to visit the area again and I would absolutely stay here again.

The lady that welcomed us was so nice and gave us excellent information about the town and surroundings. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The owner of the House which has been in his family for many years was also very interesting to talk to and had great information to share with us about our stay. I highly recomment the Telegraph House.
