Its a beautiful location and the cottage is great too. However, really bad network in the area so be prepared to loose phone network and wifi.

We enjoyed our stay at the mountain view. It wasn’t perfect but provided a nice night for us as we travelled the trail. Pros - clean, dining on site, beautiful natural surroundings, friendly staff. Cons - Air conditioner loud as a jet engine, easy to hear neighbours (talking, showering, AC). Would stay again, perhaps in the fall when AC wasn’t needed :)

Great location in the highlands on the Cabot Trail. Only there was no fridge in the room. Otherwise, good price for the place, and clean.

Friendly welcoming staff. Room was comfortable with good bed and bedding but no fridge. Restaurant had excellent staff and food was good. Bathroom had large repaired crack in tub.

6/10

The accommodations were very dated, needs a refresher. A small fridge and microwave for travellers would be nice, perfect space for it in the rooms. The restaurant is less than appealing, the food and the atmosphere. I found the bedding very dingy looking which made me question if they were clean.
