Come see what we have to offer
this Summer!!!
With the addition of a fully equipped kitchen, we
have converted our B&B into a Four Star Canada Select Guest House. The
property is nestled in a secluded valley at the end of Doyle's Road, but only
2 km from the Cabot Trail and Margaree Forks. The Guest House is across the
driveway from the main house. You can see this building in the pictures on
this page. The bedrooms, each with four piece bathrooms 'ensuite', are upstairs.
The main floor includes the kitchen as well as a common room that is excellent
for relaxing, reading or watching Satellite T.V., (Star Choice).

A computer offering
high speed Internet access is available at no charge to our guests as is high
speed wireless connectivity for those bringing their own laptops! This, along
with our unlimited free calling to US and Canada makes it a great place to
keep in touch with home!
The Guest House
can accommodate up to six people. One bedroom contains a Queen sized bed the
other a twin bed with a pull out futon/couch that comfortably can sleep two.
As indicated before, each room has a private four piece bathroom. 
Our property is
an excellent location to come and go as one pleases, accessing the numerous
beaches and whale excursions along the Gulf Coast or day tripping to hiking
trails in the Highlands, visiting the Highland Village, taking one of the
Puffin Tours out of Englishtown or Seal Island or travelling to and from Fortress
Louisburg.
For those so inclined,
trout are still available to catch yourself, or purchase from us, and can
be cooked on the Guest House BBQ! Rather eat out? Treat yourself to a wonderful
deli-style lunch at the Dancing Goat or the local Margaree Lodge and, in the
evening, during the season, dine at one of the fine restaurants in the area.
We would be happy to make recommendations!
A wonderful resource for the traveller is to obtain a free copy of
Doers and Dreamers, Nova Scotia's Travel Guide, which may
be obtained by surfing to http://www.novascotia.com
and checking the link. In North America one can also
obtain by calling 1-800-565-0000. Ask for extra information on Cape Breton
Island when you do so!
For those planning
summer travel, please be aware that there is a lot to do and see on Cape Breton.
The biggest complaint guests make is that they left too little time to really
see what is on offer. Roads are twisty with a view around every turn, hiking
trails abound, waterfalls call, beaches beckon. Whale watching, puffin tours,
kayaking: all are available within scenic day trips. Check out www.margareens.com
for a complete list of accommodations in the area as
well as THINGS TO DO, ARTS & CRAFTS, PICTURE GALLERY and so on!
And remember, music,
particulary Celtic Style music, is very much a part of Cape Breton culture,
especially here in Inverness County. Indeed, during the summer, there is a
music venue somewhere in the County virtually every day, be it a Ceilidh,
dance or concert! However, IMHO, the Three Fiddlers Ceilidh at the Barn is
the best! It is on Friday nights in June, September and October and Wednesday
nights in July and August. Should you only be able to spend one night in Margaree,
make it a night when you can get to the Ceilidh! Check out the article on
the "Magic of the Margarees" by clicking on the "Paradise Lost"
article shown on the Macleans Icon on the THINGS TO DO section of the margareens
web page.
And please
note, we have a three day minimum policy for booking.
