St. Ann’s Motel was a wonderful stay! Owner Vince was warm, friendly, and gave us excellent travel and food recommendations. The location at the start of the Cabot Trail is perfect, and the Atlantic Ocean views from our room were absolutely stunning. Rooms were clean and comfortable, we’d love to come back!

Friendly check in. Both provided information and mapped out my journey for the Cabot Trail on a Cape Breton map. Breton Brewing was complimentary and local. I have driven past them in the past and now will stop and stay.

The property is right on the water. You can actually swim from the back of the property. The owners are always present and are extremely helpful. I would stay there again just because of them! The rooms are a bit dated, but they are working to improve them. We loved our stay. The only thing that was missing was air-conditioning, but we knew that ahead of time, and they are working at adding it.
