We had room 8 which is in a separate building behind the main house in the upstairs suite...it was lovely! Nice and clean and really nicely decorated with everything we needed for a comfortable nights rest! There are two hot tubs available for guests use eith plenty of towels in the room. We enjoyed the complimentary chocolate bars....thank you!

This was our getaway for our 25th wedding anniversary. We loved the outdoor hot tub. Nice comfortable robes provided. Even some complimentary snacks. We will be back.

Air con is very noisy, but road gets noisy early morning if you have windows open instead - the property supplies ear plugs which is a good effort

Nathalie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here on our way around the cabet trail, our room was clean and welcoming, with added touches like water, snacks, even a board game & books. We opted to stay in for the night and sat out on the decking as we were on the second floor we had a good view of the surrounding area & sea view. We had option of the jacuzzi. Before here we stayed in ingonish & i wish we would have stayed 2 nights here instead. I would recommend staying here for anyone staying in Cheticamps.

Property was next door to a school where we had tickets booked for a concert.Thevenue had comfortable seats ,was very enjoyable,mostly french music. We walked to and from our hotel.We went to a good family restaurant for breakfast, since there was no food served at the hotel. The restaurant was just across the street from the hotel.
Ruby, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s very strange and somewhat off putting to have no interaction with a human at check-in. If you’re going to call it a hotel then someone should be there when guests arrive. The room was comfortable, clean and well appointed, but the only person we met was a cleaning person who was borderline pushy about getting us out of the room.
Martin, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

It was impossible to sleep with the air conditioner running at night. The gargling sucking banging extremely loud sounds that the unit produced kept us awake entire night. We tried turning it off but the outside hot temperatures made it impossible.i strongly recommend that the owners replace this monster with a modern quiet unit to make the visitors experience polar to what it is right now. Checkout at 10 AM is way too early in my opinion. 11 AM is more common and much more convenient. I would ask to put visitors interests ahead of your own. Everything else was decent.
Lana, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good but pricey

The room was very nice, with plenty of coffee and snacks. The price is high though, we paid close to what we paid for the Keltic Lodge.
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a really nice property. They had a lot of extra things like treats in the room and a shared kitchen we weren’t expecting. Rooms were really nice. We were able to walk to several restaurants.

10/10 Exceptional

The Archie & Isidore has a lovely self-check-in system -- they text you to let you know when the room is ready and you find the key in your room. The hotel is right on the Cabot Trail and you can easily walk around town. Several restaurants are within an easy 5-to-10 minute drive, and casual dress is always appropriate. The Adirondack chairs on the front porch are a lovely spot to sit, sip a drink, and people-watch. Although we didn't use it, there's also a hot tub available. We thoroughly enjoyed the comfy bed, the quiet, and the fresh air. If you have time, be sure to stop by The Trois Pignons museum just up the road and learn about the hooked rug tradition of the Acadian area.
Bonnie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room and surroundings capture a peacefulness. It’s a unique place to stay with a cozy room and lots of extras and upgrades that made you feel special. Worth the price to experience.
Lauri, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A gorgeous and wonderful stay

This accommodation included every little detail that made it extra special. The host anticipates guest needs very well. We especially enjoyed access to the hot tubs, a great amount of towels and robes, the in-room coffee and snacks, the amenities in the main house, quality bath products. Our only feedback would be that a 10 AM check out is a little bit early compared to other properties, as is a 4 PM check in (however, the property manager allowed us an early check-in, so we were very happy with that after long travels.) We hope to stay again in the future, it was so so great!

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay for a night. Property very clean and close to some restaurants. If staying in main house, there are 4 rooms on second floor and stairs taking you up to your room. Washer and Dryer free for guests to use. Nice touch of a treat in your room as well as waters and soda's. Yogurt and granola bars as well as coffee in your room and tea's available. Contactless check in and check out which was convenient. Lots of towels in room.
