We had a lovely stay at Iona Heights. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable. It's a busy motel with quite a high turnover of guests, but we found it really quite relaxing and enjoyable. It's in a great location for exploring around Lake Bras d'Or and around Cape Breton. A real bonus is the pub, good food and beverages, excellent nightly entertainment. A really friendly crowd of locals , who gave us great tips for sightseeing.
Not much, I definitely stay again.

Location is amazing. I had an upper floor private balcony with a view...and the sunrise. Large, clean, comfortable and quiet room. Pub on site for dinner and breakfast
The heater was a bit of a nuisance

6 / 10Average·Oct 2026
Beautiful location and outstanding view of the Bra’D’or Lakes and 4 counties of Cape Breton! Very close to the Highland Village
The on site pub was very good and served great food both for dinner and breakfast. The staff in the pub were lovely and attentive.
The room which we were given was not anything like the one I understood that we had booked, which was very disappointing. We intentionally arrived well ahead of check in to get a better room but were given a room in the older section it seems. The rooms in particular are badly in need of considerable improvements and maintainance, especially the bathrooms.
There was a little basket with extra facecloths in it and they were unfolded and stained, as were the towels (stained and thin)
What was particularly shocking is that the beds were on a metal frame, like collapsible cots and of course that meant that we had a rather uncomfortable night and not great sleep. Really really disappointing.
I thought the person who checked us in (not sure if he was the owner or manager or?) was civil but not especially friendly.
There was no place to get even a light nutritious snack, other than a store with one piece of pizza left. We had travelled 3 hours and had no lunch, the pub did not open for another hour or more.
