Chisholms of Troy Coastal Cottages

We stopped here at the end of a drive along the Cabot Trail. The cottage was lovely, and we were upgraded to a larger cottage on arrival. The owner was friendly and recommended places to eat in nearby Port Hawkesbury, which is about a 10 minute drive away. Views from the cottages are stunning, some coffee in the room would have been a nice touch as there is a coffee maker in the kitchen area.

This was a convenient one-night stop on our road trip, easy to find and in a quiet location with a lovely view. The air conditioning was on, which was a nice touch on a hot day. We could park right next to the cottage. The accommodation is quite rustic, with plenty of space in the sitting and kitchen area and small bedrooms. The blinds on the windows have seen better days and don't darken the bedrooms enough. The fan in the bathroom was very loud, as was the massive fridge. You'll need to bring along tea, coffee, sugar, etc., apart from salt and pepper there was nothing available. And the nearest shop is quite a distance away. Check-in was a bit awkward and communication in general could be improved. I suggest sending out an email with directions, the number of the cottage and stating that the key is in the door. That would have saved us quite a bit of stress, as the telephone number on the reception door didn't work with our phone for the first five or six tries. Altogether I'd say this is a nice peaceful place to stay, but probably more suitable for people who stay for a week or more and want to explore the area.

The cabin we stayed in was large and comfortable. The view over the Atlantic towards Prince Edward Island was beautiful. There is access to the coastal trail just down the hill from the cabins. The housekeeper was very kind and helpful. The cabins are an easy drive to Judique in one directon and port Hawksbery/the Cape Breton Causeway in the other

Great access to the bike trail. Beautiful view!

Lovely clean facility in a beautiful and scenic area that is managed by helpful and friendly staff!!

Beautiful area of Cape Breton Island, family owned for over 200 years. Impressive property!
