Lovely property in beautiful setting. We stayed in the Corson House, centrally located on the property. One of the two restaurants (which offered vegan options--YAY) was conveniently across the main road. The well-appointed spa--where we happily took advantage of friendly, professional services--was next door. Our comfortable room had three large windows overlooking the restaurant and water. We had looked forward to relaxing and listening to live music in the Highland Sitting Room in the main lodge building; however, we found it closed for the season. Would definitely go back.

The main lodge was fairly loud so neither of us slept well - can’t say it was worth the price. Nice location and beautiful views though.

We enjoyed all aspects of our stay! The view from our well appointed room was fantastic! the room itself was spacious and very comfortable. The bed was also very comfortable! We enjoyed the live music at the lounge and very much enjoyed our dinners at the Arduaine Restaurant! the only reason we gave a 4 on the staff and service was the buffet breakfast. We would often have to ask for coffee, jams ect and the hot food only warm!! Overall a very fantastic experience at your lodge!

Absolutely stunning and incredible place to stay, absolutely add this spot to your trip! And don't forget dinner at the restaurant. I asked my girlfriend of 9 years to marry me and she said yes this weekend at this very resort 🤗 We will absolutely be returning.

We were told the Keltic Lodge was the “only” place to stay on the Cabot Trail. It probably once was nice and has great potential in a wonderful setting but is tired. The food is average and overpriced. It lacked the Maritime personality and hospitality we experienced almost everywhere else on Cape Breton.

Room was dated and shabby. Light bulbs were missing and electrical outlets not functioning. Cracks in tiles in walls and peeling paint. Human hair on bathroom floor, hole in window screen that allowed in insects, and room was not soundproof in the least. We could hear everything they guests in the next room were saying. Also, the very noisy air conditioning unit was one of the old style that sits on the floor with a big tube out the window for air. This unit blocked access to the bed (which was ridiculously high). The hallway access doors did not have proper closures, and as a result slammed every time a guest walked through. The front desk did not open until 4 PM and is in a different building from where the sleeping rooms are. Only one room key is provided with a $50 charge if lost. Although the linens and towels were clean, and in good repair, the curtains and baseboards were very dusty We book through Expedia and got a distinct impression that the older, smaller, and less desirable rooms are given to Expedia customers. Even at a discounted price, the room rate is not justified. This property needs a thorough upgrade otherwise it’s simply lipstick on a pig and you’re not fooling anyone.

The grounds are beautiful. Our room was comfortable but paint was peeling off the door trim. Asks you to be environmentally friendly by saving water and re-using towels, which is great, but then has plastic single use cups in the bathroom wrapped in more plastic. The food at the restaurant was very good but we ordered the mussels to “start” and they came with our entree at the same time. There was no spoon with my chowder and no bowl to put the mussel shells in. By the time I got to eat my soup it was luke warm. The drinks were really good and the live music was wonderful. I would have told the front desk but they never asked how my stay was when I checked out.

We stayed in the main lodge which has not been renovated since about 1950. Room is small & poorly laid out. Connecting room, you could have a conversation with the folk next door. Latter half of September, & there was no heat even with a frost advisory - they did give a modest credit on our account for this which was appreciated. Restaurant menu had changed from on line, with item we wanted cancelled. Food was tasty but only warm at best. For the price one of the most disappointing stays I have had anywhere.

We had booked a Cottage with a view of Ocean. Upon entering the AC wasn’t working. Maintenance came fairly quickly but couldn’t get unit to work and discovered filters clogged and MOLD inside it. We were moved to another cottage- just no view. Impressed with the buffet breakfast for $20/pp, but Arduane restaurant had limited menu and no good alternates on site so ate there twice. Night one, asked for bread while awaiting appetizer; told they don’t have any. Night two, same restaurant, asked for bread, got hot delicious loaf, best part of meal. Although the Spa was dated and small, my wife had excellent massage.

The staff was very nice but the lodge was overpriced for what we got. Surprising not much to do if the weather is bad. Bar did not know how to make cocktails so we stuck to beer and wine following 2 badly made drinks.

Room was expensive for it to have dusty furniture, peeling paint in the bath especially the tiles, mildew in the shower. The outside of the building was all peeling paint. The AC was a noisy in room unit with a hose out the window. The window ledge next to our dining table was full of dead flies. Beautiful location but the rest didn’t live up to our expectations. Beware of long staircase in the lodge with no elevator.

We stayed at the cottage which was pet friendly, but the cleaning was done well that our allergies didn't act up. We also had a fire place in our room which was a nice treat on a rainy day.

The setting could not have been more beautiful. We stayed in the older “main” lodge. Not super modern, but that was a big part of its charm. Enjoyed a short hike along the Middle Head train which started just a few hundred yards from the lodge.

A great place to stay even if you were in a tent. The view is incredible. Food, bar, staff and room was first rate. Reminded me of a classic Pinehurst Hotel and if has a 1941 golf course.
