"Over the top doesn't begin to rate this property....everything we expected and soooo much more! Our hosts were VERY accommodating. We will DEFINITELY be coming back next year. A 5 out 0f 5 rating is a bit low in our books....I prefer to rate as I TRULY see things. This was a belated birthday present from me to m foe my 68th . It was on the 16th of October, so I thinks it's only fitting to rate them as a 16 out of 5!!!! Bill Bilney, Brenda Crossland and our fur kids....Max and Levi"

"Other than the very rugged road up to the cottage it was exactly as advertised."

"The property had an amazing view. It had both indoor and outdoor furniture to make it relaxing. The only problem was how hot it was inside with no air conditioning. The big windows allow for a great view but also let in full sun during the whole day. Open windows and fans helped but only in the evenings. and no air conditioning"

Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels

"The place is good, and we had a good time in the area. The place is not right on the beach--it is about a 200 meter walk through the woods. The house is pretty remote, which can be a good thing, but every place we wanted to visit is at least an hour drive away. We did a lot of driving and spent a lot on gas. We wish we had stayed in Baddeck."

"This house was centrally located to everything we wanted to do while in this area of Cape Breton. It was quiet and comfortable and we appreciated being able to do laundry. I would recommend it to other travelers."

"The house was quite nice overall. A little disappointing that the woodstove didn't work, especially as the weather was cool and wet. The water is quite soft, but tastes good; and the water heater works fine. We spent a chilly first night as the baseboard heaters were set to 10C (50F), and the control buttons are really tiny and hard to notice. A heads up from the owner would have been helpful. It was plenty warm once I found the controls. The setting is beautiful, and the stairs down to the lake...

"Two sets of family stayed at this property and it was more than enough room. The house was very clean and tidy and a comfortable space. Kitchen was stocked with the essentials and all bathrooms had plenty of soap, paper towel and toilet paper. The host was super friendly and helpful. They were very quick to respond to inquiries and helpful recommendations. Overall, the property met our needs and we really enjoyed our stay. Over"

"Lovely cottage with an amazing view. The host thought of everything including a well stocked pantry in case you don’t get groceries before you arrive. We really enjoyed our stay here and would certainly recommend it to our family and friends."

"We had a lovely stay in this rustic Cape Breton cottage! The building itself is quite old, and shows its character. It was good for three people, but would be tight for a family or larger group. There's no direct beach access, but it's a 2 minute drive away (or less), and the water was beautiful. Note that any major shopping or necessities will have to be gotten in Sydney, about half an hour away, so plan for that. We appreciated Laura's communication throughout our stay, and the very detailed...

"This was a great adventure. It might not be for everyone but it sure was for us. There is a bit of a hike to the yurt, which made for a peaceful and secluded stay. Andrea and Clay greeted us and showed us around the place which was beautiful. There is a river right out the door that we swam in, and the yurt was so cozy inside."

"A group of eight guys headed to Cape Breton for 4 nights and five days at Baddeck and luckily picked the best possible place to stay that we could. The course is right next to Bell Bay Golf Club which was convenient for us as we played three rounds there, one at Cape breton Highlands (1 hr away) and one round at the Lakes at Ben Oein (1 hr away). House was clean and well supplied. Everything worked properly in the unit and we had no problems. Communications with Tyson was quick and easy and I...

"The view of the lake is magnificent. The house is charming and comfortable."

"Central location odor Cape Breton and the central/coastal areas. Stunning place right on the lake. Sunrises and moonshine on the lake. Hosts are wonderful. Planning our next trip."

"Imagine waking up to a beautiful sunrise over a flowing river bend and seeing eagles flying, deer crossing , and beaver swimming and you have it all to yourself. That's singing bowl yurt. A once in a lifetime unique experience. So glad we went!"

"We have been hosts ourselves for over ten years and were so impressed with the hosts and this accommodation. Communication and directions were great. We had absolutely no problem finding the place. The hosts were very responsive and attentive...they are the best hosts we've ever met! The trailer is fully equipped and squeaky clean. The location is so quiet and picturesque. Before leaving, we booked the same dates for next year. We would highly recommend this property for anyone exploring the...

"Central location, nicely decorated, very clean, quiet. Host lovely & helpful. Coffee shops, restaurants, waterfront, shops in walking distance. Don't miss ceilidh."

"Lovely waterfront property. Trees surround. Like stepping into a Carl Larsson painting."

"Nice log cottage sitting on Diana Mountain with a nice view of Bras d’Or Lake. The night skys are fantastic. The cottage is secluded. It is about a 35 minute drive to the nearest store of any kind so if you want to get away from everything it is perfect. Stock up before you go. The cottage has high speed internet and good cell phone reception to keep you in touch with the outside world. If you are planning on taking in a lot of the sights of Cape Breton Island then plan on a lot of driving."

"Beautiful property! Had a great time!"

"The home was very clean and has beautiful views from every window. Especially the large front windows overlooking the lake. The deck is large and has plenty of room to enjoy meals and coffee in the morning with panoramic lake views and passing sail boats. And at night the whole family enjoyed looking at the stars including shooting stars."

5/5 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at See Weed and Sod B&B! Terri, our host, went above and beyond with her warm hospitality, making us feel instantly at home. Each morning, she treated us to a delightful, homestyle breakfast that was both hearty and delicious—a perfect way to start our day. The time spent with the animals made our stay even more memorable. Ralfie the cat was such a joy, Chewy’s friendly nature brightened our days, Fauna the farm dog was a lovely companion, and meeting Lady, the beautiful horse, was truly special. We couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming experience. Thank you, Terri, Ralfie, Chewy, Fauna, and Lady, for making our stay unforgettable!"
