Location... Location... Location. We are located on the west side of Cape Breton Island on the coast overlooking our local fishing harbour with lobster fishing boats bringing their fresh catch to market daily in May and June, Blue fin tuna are landed on the pier beginning in late August into October where prize fish are shipped of to Japanese markets. Beautiful brilliant sunsets are witnessed from our wrap around deck. We have excellent local restaurants and Celtic music venues are within minutes. Come and experience Cape Breton hospitality at its best in our local area.
