The location was perfect for us. Close to Fortress Louisbourg and to Glace Bay. The host provided breakfasts were truly spectacular. The host clearly knows the history of the Inn as well as the surrounding area. Lots of books to read and we love sharing breakfast with others and hearing their stories.

The space was beautiful, comfortable, had everything we needed and more. Each morning we were provided with a (huge, hardy) fantastic breakfast, made with personal touches (homemade jams, for example). I was still craving the French Toast three days later. The hostess was as sweet as can be, and regaled us with wonderful stories about life in Novia Scotia (and Saskatchewan). Her son, who checked us in, was very friendly and helpful (giving tips on where to hike) as well. Than you, Dolores, for a very nice stay!

We loved our stay at Cranberry Cove Inn. We received a warm welcome when we arrived, delicious hot breakfast in the morning (which they kindly adapted to be vegetarian upon request), tastefully decorated and spacious room with jacuzzi, very convenient location to visit the nearby fortress of Louisbourg. This inn is a gem, highly recommended!

Great apartment with all facilities you need at a beautiful spot at the lake shore. Fully equipped kitchen, huge bathroom and comfortable bed. All the space in the garden was ours to enjoy, with great views. We could use the canoe and peddle bike, as well as the BBQ. The owners are very sweet, we had a very friendly welcome and they do everything they can to make sure you’ll have a wonderful stay!

We did the tour first which was a perfect way to start our day. Learning about the history of the Fort and what many of the buildings were all about was incredibly helpful in understanding what we were seeing. Not everything was open because it was low season so we will definitely visit again, next time in peak season!

The Parks Canada staff were incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Many were "re-enactors" who stuck to their role and gave interesting information about how they and others lived and how different roles were viewed. We found that the staff brought the stones to life. We spent six hours there and could have spent more, but mainly because we learned so much from talking to staff that when we walked around we had a sense of the life at the time. We would certainly recommend that everyone take the walking tour offered by Parks Canada.It is like the difference between watching a foreign language movie with and without an interpreter. You see the images in both cases, but with the "interpreter" you understand what they mean.

Louisbourg is a small oceanside town with LOTS of history and beauty. Be sure to visit the Lighthouse on the other side of the harbour. The scenic walking trail (easy walking) is incredible. Just parking at the trailhead and getting out to view the lighthouse is beautiful. And of course, the Fortress of Louisbourg is must do !

The obvious best part of Louisbourg is seeing the Fortress.

The obvious best part of Louisbourg is seeing the Fortress. You can easily spend 4 hours or more in the Park and you can add more time if you want to walk along some of the trails and see some of the outer fortifications. The re-enactors and guides are knowledgeable and eager to greet you. Beyond the Fortress, there is the lighthouse (with a beautiful, easy walk) and Glace Bay is an easy drive.

After 32 years since my last visit, I was saddened to find that the bustling daily life and historical scenes of my past recollected experience were no longer present (lots of costumed interpreters, horses and carts, auctions, active village programs throughout the day, period meals served in the food purveyor spaces). The life and character of this historical fortress apparently died a COVID death as very few individuals were around to bring to life the settlement in its heyday. Barely any animals to be seen and lots of closed buildings. Our highlight was the bakery and buying fresh bread. Unfortunately a disappointment but hopefully some federal funding can inject new life into this excellent site in the near future.

Loved the location of this BNB, off the beaten path but not far from Louisbourg. Lovely views as the home is lakeside. The host was welcoming, friendly, and had good recommendations for restaurants nearby . Great breakfast. Private room was lovely. Would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Nice place, managed by a well-known couple of Scottish interior designers who spent almost two decades in Toronto. After visiting the nearby fortress in Louisburg, we realized how many ‘local’ elements have been integrated into the remodelling of the property.

The staff were most accommodating. The location to Louisbourg Fortress was very good. There was great dinner dining in the area. And the Inn itself was like being transported back in time - such a delightful experience.
