"This inn, built in the 1830s, is an award winner, with spacious rooms and public areas that are beautifully decorated with antiques. Rooms have working fireplaces and air conditioning; some have Jacuzzi baths. Grounds are immaculate, and innkeepers have a wealth of information on the area. Great place to base exploration of the Cabot Trail and Cape Breton or to catch the Newfoundland ferry." Doubles from $105. [(US $)]
