Stay in the Piper Room at The Glengarry Inn — a beautifully restored 1880s heritage property in Northern Cape Breton, just 7 minutes from the Cabot Trail in Sugar Loaf. Some trips are about doing everything. This one is about actually stopping. Airbnb has flagged the Piper Room as being in a quiet area of the inn — and on the shores of Aspy Bay, with Sugar Loaf Mountain outside your window, you'll understand why the moment you arrive.

THE ROOM
The Piper Room is on the second floor of the inn — thoughtfully quiet, warm, and exactly what you need after a day on the Cabot Trail. Extra sound insulation has been fitted between the walls, making it one of the best-insulated rooms in the inn.

What you'll find:
- Queen bed with quality linens — properly comfortable
- Private en-suite bathroom with shower
- Air conditioning for warm summer nights
- Smart TV for evenings in
- Keurig coffee maker with starter pods
- Mini fridge for drinks and basics
- Fast WiFi throughout the inn
- Hair dryer and fresh towels
- Windows that open onto mountain views
- Self check-in via keypad.
- Free parking on site.

THE INN
The Glengarry was built in 1880 and has been a place for people to stay and gather ever since — a lodge, a general store, a community meeting place. The original 19th-century general store on the ground floor is still largely intact and now serves as a small on-site museum, which we love showing guests around.

THE LOCATION
You're in Dingwall, a small fishing village on the north shore of Cape Breton. North Harbour Beach on Aspy Bay is a short walk down our driveway. Sugar Loaf Mountain is what you see from your window each morning. The Cabot Trail — one of the world's great scenic drives — begins 7 minutes away.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
No pets allowed for guests. Two friendly miniature Australian shepherds — Ben and Quin — live on the property and love welcoming guests.

This is a 145-year-old building, and some sounds move through it the way it does in old places. The Piper Room is one of the quieter ones, but light sleepers may wish to pack earplugs.
The exterior of the inn is under gradual restoration — a labour of love that's been years in the making. Your room is fully finished and completely unaffected.
