Cabot Trail Motel

This was a nice mom and pop motel, very clean and comfortable. It is basic, but just what we like. I wished we had stayed and used their restaurant for dinner, I'm sure it would have been better than what we got in town. There was also a wonderful deck to sit on and admire the lake.

I can't say enough about how friendly and welcoming the staff at Cabot Trail are. I went with a large group and the staff handled us with ease and great senses of humor. We used the motel as our base for a week of motorcycling in the area. Rooms were clean, beds comfy, property well maintained.

We stayed here 3 nights. There's a restaurant on site open for breakfast and supper.We ate there twice for breakfast and once for supper.Rooms are nice with patio door to sit outside and overlooks the lake.You can go across the road to lake where they have a dock and gazebo to sit in. Collected beach glass,shells and stones there.

We stayed at this great motel overlooking the Bras d'or Lakes on Sunday night. We have had a great dinner there before but it was our first time staying. Our room was clean and comfy and we had the deck to ourselves overlooking the lake. The view from our bed of the lakes was private and spectacular. Best of all is the dining room with a fantastic view of the lake. The food was outstanding and the service was the best. What a friendly and helpful staff! Wish we had gotten the name of the university student who was our server for supper and breakfast. We want to tell management that she is a real asset and made our meals even more pleasant. We will be back.

Clean rooms, comfortable beds, working showers and AC is an easy 4 stars. This place goes over and above with a great view of the waterfront, and an awesome restaurant staff for breakfast. The restaurant was reasonably priced and everyone in our group enjoyed the meal. Highly recommend.

This is a very comfortable spot to stay enroute to the Cabot Trail. Each room overlooks the Bras D'or Lake. There is a restaurant onsite that makes very good food. We spent two nights so that we could experience the whole Cabot Trail. The owners are super friendly and we enjoyed our stay immensely.

This is the friendliest place that I have ever stayed. The motel is great and the people are like family. We had a pleasant stay in a great room with a beautiful view of the Bras D'Or (lake.) The restaurant had the same great view and very good food. We then had a personal disaster when our car suffered a catastrophic failure while we were 700 miles from home. The motel owners Cat and Everett and the rest of the staff were angels and went to heroic lengths to save us. Gert and the front desk sent her brother-in-law Richard to help get our car off the road and make sure that we were OK. Everett picked us up and brought us back to the motel. Cat arranged a tow to a repair shop (alas the car could not be fixed.) Cat arranged a rental car. Cat arranged our flights. Everett drove us 45 minutes to the rental car. They then saved us a huge one-way fee by retrieving the rental car from the airport 2 hours away. I have traveled a lot and have seen many things. I have never seen this type of kindness. Gert, Margaret, and Marlene at the front desk were amazingly friendly and helpful. Our waitresses Erica and Bonnie were very friendly and great at their jobs. Our maid Joy was great and kept the room spotless. I did not know any of these people until a few days ago, yet I feel like they are family. I have never written a review like this, but wanted people to know about these wonderful people at the Cabot Trail Motel. The weather was not great and our car died, but this was an unbelievable stay.

Loved everything. Break was amazing and staff were very kind
