The Fiddle and the Sea B&B

This is a very good B & B. The room was comfortable & the hosts go out of their way to tell you about the entertainment in the area. |The food at the Bistro close by was good, & the music & food at The Red Shoe Pub in nearby Mabou was excellent.

The breakfast is amazing, Italian tar tar, baked potato’s with cheese and delicious sausage. The fruit cup is yummy, coffee is good too. The gentleman gave a presentation of the town and played the fiddle for us. Facilities are new, and super clean. I felt at home. Great experience.

Beds were really comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. We felt really cared for by Denise and Alain. Loved the little historical overview of the area and violin music by Alain.

I highly recommend this B&B. The rooms are large, super clean, modern and have some nice touches. The bed was comfortable. The hosts are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was sensational including a fruit bowl., yoghurt, various homemade jams, home baked bread, and a delicious quiche. The host gave a nice historic talk during breakfast and played a little fiddle tune for us. They are well-informed about the region and have good sightseeing tips. Not all rooms have a view.

Highly recommend this fantastic spot for your trip to Cape Breton. Clean and bright room, lots of parking, great homemade breakfast in quaint kitchenette/dining room. Had very informative chat with hosts, very helpful with history, sites, and hikes in area. For our week touring the Cabot Trail, this was our favourite place we stayed at.

We spent 2 nights here. The room was lovely, the breakfasts good. What made it extra special was Alain and Denise. At breakfast we had an illustrated guide and suggestions for trips, where to find Cape Breton music. Complete with a fiddle tune! We bought lobsters and they showed us how to shell them. With their input I was able to play with local musicians. Their efforts made our stay in Cape Breton and amazing memorable experience. Go before they sell!

A very pleasant stay! We were greeted later in the evening and guided on the local restaurants. The room was incredibly clean and cozy and there are fresh baked cookies and chocolates awaiting you. In the morning, they served a lovely breakfast. My boyfriend had a frittata he said was delicious and I got oatmeal that I loved. While we ate, the owner showed us pictures and told us about the history of the area and suggested places to travel. He finished by playing a tube on the fiddle. It was wonderful!

This is a lovely B&B with great hosts who made staying here a memorable experience. The room was large and comfortable, as was the king bed. It came with a large private bathroom. There is a breakfast room on the second floor where we were served a delicious, home-made meal. Alain, the co-owner, pulled out his fiddle and played us a tune and then used a slideshow to tell us what to anticipate on our drive on the Cabot Trail. Highly recommended.
