    My partner and I spent a few days there with our dog in October. The big property is well away from any neighbours and is great if you have a canine companion. The beach is a short drive down the end of the road and it is reasonably close to North Sydney in one direction and Baddeck in the other. We didn't see our host due to covid but she was very attentive to our needs and was easy to get a hold of.…
