The accommodation is modest but so clean. And the wi-fi was an unexpected bonus, I hadn't seen it mentioned on their website. A perfect location on the beach near Cape Breton Park The kitchen was sufficiently stocked for easy meals.

We booked 4 nights in the separate lodge over the internet as the website was attractive and it had a good writeup in "The Lonely Planet" book on Canada.
