"Great stay at this Motel. The manager/owner was super friendly and kind checking us in with a welcoming smile. The room was very comfortable and modern but shows some minor signs of aging but not a big deal. The beds were comfortable and we really appreciated an excellent breakfast which included eggs, sausages, hash browns, toast, cereal, yogurt and pancakes!!!. So great to be able to have this then get underway to continue our journey. It is only 10 mins from Baddeck where lots of activities were taking place. Be sure to take in the Baddeck Gathering Community Ceilidhs at the community hall at 6 Margaree road in town. They are so fun!!!"

"Great location, an easy walk to restaurants etc. Staff was very helpful and gave us a thorough orientation, including to the Cabot Trail, upon checkin. In-house restaurant looked lovely, but we ended up not going there because we got back too late (and it does look a bit pricey). The rooms were comfortable but we moved some small furniture items around so we had a place to set our bathroom things and had sufficient nightstand space."

"Amazing and fun experience! We got to see the stars! Bathrooms beside the domes were new or finishing construction. Due to the cold, rainy and very windy conditions (overnight low of 4 celcius) the heater was on high but it was a very cold (12 degrees in dome) through the night. Suggest not a fall experience. Hot tub and fire pits available as well."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic stay at Joyce's, even though it was just for one night. The lady who checked us in was so welcoming and accommodating. Unfortunately, I forgot to take note of her name, but I really wanted to recognize her for her kindness. We were tired and cold after a long day of travelling and driving, and all we wanted was to get comfortable and have something warm to drink. We requested an electric kettle and an extra bed, as we had an additional person with us. She kindly accommodated our requests and even provided extra cups. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and warm hospitality. Another lovely surprise was the lake view in the morning. We hadn't noticed it when we arrived because it was already dark, but waking up to such a beautiful view was a wonderful way to start the day. Thank you for making our short stay so comfortable and enjoyable. We would be happy to stay here again!"
