It was based on most of the comments on this site that we made a big decision to go B&B at the Dryden Manor. My wife was very reluctant and sceptical as she has never stayed at a B&B in all her travels. This was going to be a new experience for her, and what a pleasant and delightful one... More

Host Bill & Shirley made us feel at home the second we entered their home for a 2 nights stay. The breakfast was fabulous and plentiful. Lodging was comfortable and quiet in their little isolated paradise. The location of the B&B is centered to most Cape Breton attractions. I would strongly recommend this B&B for a visit to this magnificent... More

If you only want to stay one night don't bother looking into this accomodation. After researching dates available, emailing, planning, when we went to reserve we found they only accept 2 night bookings although it doesn't say that on the website (Shirley said she should add it and I have to agree that should be on the site). We also... More

My wife and I are seasoned travellers and have recently returned from a fall trip to Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. We stayed at the Bryden Manor Bed and Breakfast for the entire four-day stay on Cape Breton Island. We could not have asked for a more superb and centrally-located accommodation for our visit. The Bryden Manor is located... More

Before this trip, neither Paul or I had stayed at a B & B. Due to our experience with Bill and Shirley, the Brydens, we will likely never consider other accommodations while traveling! We cannot say enough about the location, the wonderful suite we occupied for three nights, and the incredible food! Above all, the genuine hospitality that we were... More

If I return to Nova Scotia, I would LOVE to stay here again. We had a fantastic "suite" with refrigerator, microwave, living area with huge flat-screen TV, very nice bathroom, and a perfect bedroom with queen size bed. This home is situated on 57 beautiful wooded acres with access to the lake. It was very peaceful here! There is a... More

Alice and I were first-time visitors (on Canada Day!) from upstate New York, and we LOVED our stay at Bryden Manor. The Brydens are the most gracious, generous and friendly hosts, and the accommodations fantastic. Two nights here were not nearly enough - we want to come back for a longer stay very soon! We learned quickly that most of... More

What can we say, another great visit to a wonderful place. This was our third visit and second Celtic Colours. Our time there is the highlight of the Festival. The breakfast has to be seen to believe, with fresh fruit and something hot different every day. Coming back each year has become a tradition. We highly recommed the Bryden Manor... More

My wife and I just returned from our ninth consecutive trip to Cape Breton. On our second trip we discovered Bryden Manor Bed and Breakfast. We have gone back every year since to see our friends Bill and Shirley and to enjoy the Celtic Colours Music Festival. Several years ago we joined up with friends at the B&B we had... More
