We stayed for one night with our 2 pups during an extended road trip through the Maritimes. The property is conveniently located on the music coast side of Cape Breton Island. With a 10-minute walk, you’re on a pleasant beach. The staff in this family-run business is lovely. They made a real effort to help us overcome a couple of travel problems. There was a small fridge and microwave in the room.

It didn’t have a lobby with coffee stations or breakfast, and amenities were limited, but the staff successfully did everything they could to accommodate our needs.

No use of fabric softeners was a pleasant surprise. With hard flooring, non-feather pillows, no fabric softeners or other scents, and high cleanliness standards, the Hebridean deserves a hypoallergenic rating. Our room was basic, but clean and fresh with comfortable beds and a lovely blue and white color scheme. The staff accommodated us with an early check-in so that we could change our clothes for an early afternoon event. The location is excellent.

Our only disappointment was the coffee machine which uses only the provided coffee pods. We had hoped to be able to make a pot of coffee with coffee we brought with us.

We were running late for checkin and basically had to pick between getting dinner in inverness or checking in on time, thankfully the staff made it possible for us to arrive way after hours so we could get a (lovely btw) dinner instead of rushing to the Motel. The room was spacious and clean, the bed was comfortable and there was a desk if one was to work here too.

The combined heater/ac unit was a bit loud - but managable by cranking it up a bit, then turning it off for the night. While the location is great when it comes to being close to both the cabbot trail (Car) and celtic trail (bikes), there's nothing really around for dinner or breakfast.

This is the perfect location to serve as a home base for travel around Cape Breton. It is within walking distance to multiple beautiful beaches, and is close to a few restaurants that serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff were so friendly and accommodating and the room was cozy and very clean.

We were only stopping by on route to Halifax and this motel was far better than the previous chain hotel we stayed at. It was clean; both the property and utensils inside the unit. Property is older but you can see TLC. It is brightly coloured facade; you won’t miss it while driving. Its also a good walking distance to a beach boardwalk. Staff was also great and welcoming.

Nothing much that would change the impression.

The property is very clean and it is apparent great pride is taken in it. We are a family of four and enjoyed the grassy area to throw around a football with the kids and also explored the nearby beach. The owner Charlie, couldn’t be nicer.

It was great. Perhaps a ceiling light in the room would be nice.

I loved everything about this property. The owner, the colours of the building are so sharp, the rooms are great, clean, quiet and comfy. Great restaurant in front of the hotel and the water on the other side with a beautiful beach. Thanks so much also for accommodating my mistake on the booking. That shows the true Cape Breton hospitality.

Friendly, uncomplicated service, small dog was welcome, clean, spacious suite, well equipped kitchen

Adult daughter used the pull-out couch, in the living room, which wasn't the greatest. No door between living and bedroom area, so limited privacy

Nice clean room in a lovely, convenient location close to the beaches, trails and a bistro.

Only small negative was the lack of a towel bar or hooks in the washroom to hang your used towels - a simple fix that would make a big difference. 😉

Cute and quiet little motel near the water. Ask for a water view. Drive-up to room. Check-in was at owners house next door-efficient and friendly. Room was clean and although modest, had everything we needed. I love this "old-fashioned" motel....so welcoming. We sat outside-some chairs provided-and enjoyed the view. Bistro/cafe just across the lawn where we enjoyed scallops and a beer.
