We stayed next to the house in a motel that had a porch where one could sit outside. The wifi was spotty and the TV buffered. Did not find a refrigerator in the small room. It was fine for a one night stay.

We enjoyed our stay at the Telegraph House. Unfortunately our room was quite small with no coffee maker or fridge. Staff did help out by providing a kettle. Great location and staff were great.

Property is within walking distance of pretty much everything you want to see or experience. AC unit was very noisy and cut in and out during the night, and the bed was quite uncomfortable.

Weekend stay
Went for a weekend. Only needed a room for sleeping. Older, historic building right in the heart of Baddeck. Recently renovated rooms. Ours was a very small room in the main building with an even smaller bathroom, very few extras like a phone or in room clock and only 2 pillows on the bed. Issue with the tv working, but someone had it corrected within 30 minutes of me bringing it to the front desks attention. Very bright and clean room with a nice partial view of the lakes. Didn’t have a chance to eat at their restaurant so I cannot comment on that. Overall, a very good place, would recommend.

While we initially thought this historic property might be charming, it is just old and in need of serious renovation. We stayed in a one-story room up the hill from the older, historic home. It was sparsely decorated and had a very musty smell. Fortunately, we had a portable AC unit in the room to make the temp bearable. Bathroom was small and although the window was frosted, a shade on the window would have been appreciated. Our friends stayed in the historic home and there was no AC unit in their room. Do your research before booking here. There seemed to be several other nicer places to stay.

Nice but could use a little updating. Our screens were ripped and mosquitoes got in, but otherwise it was comfortable and great location.

It reminds me of the quaint Inns in Vermont. Everything was excellent and I had a delightful dinner in The Cable Room restaurant. Scallops were superb. Dessert to die for. A great place to stay in Baddeck.
