Cabot Cape Breton

I had very high expectations for Cabot Cape Breton given its reputation, but my experience was shockingly bad from start to finish. For a place that markets itself as world-class, the level of service, organization, and hospitality was nowhere near acceptable. The staff seemed indifferent and at times outright dismissive, there was no genuine warmth or effort to make guests feel welcome. Simple requests took ages to be acknowledged, and communication between departments appeared completely disorganized. For the prices they charge, you’d expect attentive, polished service but instead, it felt chaotic and unprofessional. The accommodations were also disappointing: poorly planned, maintenance issues left unresolved, and overall far from the luxury standard that Cabot tries to project online. The food was overpriced and bland, and even basic amenities like Wi-Fi and heating were unreliable during my stay. The golf course may be scenic, but that’s about the only redeeming quality. Everything else from the service to the management’s attitude felt like a complete letdown. It’s all style over substance, and it’s clear they rely more on hype than on delivering real quality. For the cost, you can find far better experiences elsewhere in Nova Scotia, places that actually value their guests and understand what hospitality means. I wouldn’t recommend Cabot Cape Breton to anyone.

Absolutely beautiful golf resort! The courses are stunning, with breathtaking views in every direction. Everyone at Cabot makes you feel special from the moment you arrive — the service is exceptional and truly personalized. Our caddies, Aaron and Claire, were wonderful — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to come back. A must-visit for any golf lover! ⛳️🌊

My husband and I traveled to Cabot as part of a larger vacation and we finished it with a bang by staying at Cabot. This property is in a fabulous location and boasts amazing views. The staff here are generous and kind and the accommodations are top notch. This exceptional resort provides every possible offering to guests and is well worth the investment. We are grateful for the kindness we received from Bobby and the property management to celebrate our anniversary and renewal of our wedding vows. Absolutely fantastic!!

Overall great experience (cottage was great, golf was spectacular, etc.). One thing to note, I would definitely not book the fly fishing experience through Cabot. It was incredibly expensive and the guides were terrible (wouldn't move us down the river despite not a single bite, wouldn't get in the water to help one of our beginners, etc.). We have done plenty of fly fishing experiences elsewhere and this was so far below even baseline expectations. Notified the resort of the experience and their response amounted to "sorry but they are independent contractors...."

A must ! From awesome customer service, to great food and drinks, to stunning golf courses, this place is a must for any avid, or non-avid golfer. GM Mark Steenge ensured our stay was memorable with excellent personal touches. The staff and caddies are top notch, friendly, and skilled ! Golf courses like you dream about.

Very nice place to stay (even if you're not playinh golf) but not cheap of course. They were very friendly and all services were well organised. They have multiple options to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner. There's a shuttle service, you can rent bikes, they offer also tennis and axe throwing.

We stayed in the king size suite. It was fantastic had everything including outside and inside gas fires and washing machine and dryer Staff were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. The height of luxury. Well worth the money. Close to the town of Inverness and on the cabot trail.

We had an incredible experience at Cabot. This resort provides everything you need for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We stayed in Hillside home king studio 1A. We enjoyed an amazing view over the driving range to the strait. Sunsets were incomparable from our deck. The room was spacious, comfortable, well appointed and spotlessly clean. There is a van on call to take you to the restaurants on site, golf courses or into town. Such a convenience with friendly, knowledgeable drivers. The golf courses are very challenging & weather/wind plays a significant role in your score. Both the Cliffs & Links courses are incredibly beautiful and Mother Nature is in charge of some of the most memorable views you will ever see. You must walk the courses so a caddie is extremely helpful. We had the great good fortune to have wonderful caddies both days. Thank you Roan, Mike and Liam for all your help in negotiating those many challenges on the courses. You made the experience unforgettable with advice, humor ( we really needed that) and guidance. Thank You ! From reception staff to housekeeping, to service there was always someone willing to help make your stay the best ever. For a fabulous golfing outing we highly recommend Cabot.
