Great place to stay for exploring the eastern portion of Cape Breton National Park. Kim (part owner) is a great host snd made us feel very welcomed. We stayed in room #6 which is upstairs (no elevator on premise) and faces the back (not ocean view). The room is pretty standard. Decor is outdated but very clean. The included buffet breakfast has a variety of breads, yogurts, cold cuts and hot dishes like sausages and scrambled eggs. Overall we had a great experience at Castle Rock Country Inn.

The super nice lady that checked us in was amazing. She was so friendly and accommodating. She grew up in the area and was able to give us a lot of information. Our rooms were comfortable and clean. There was plenty of socializing space down stairs with a television and large couch. The breakfast in the morning was delicious. Lots to choose from and the owner of the Inn, she was very friendly. Would stay there again!

We stayed one night and it was amazing. The unit has beautiful views of woods, water and sunset and sunrise. Breakfast is very yummy. Kim is super friendly and helpful. She provides useful information for our trip and she really surprised me by generously giving me the Cape Breton picture book which is full of amazing pictures of the National Park and unforgettable memories. I feel I was so spoiled as a guest. Thanks so much to Kim for the special gift.

We had a great stay here. Great pricing, beautiful location. Rooms are charming, comfortable, and most importantly, very clean. We got a free room upgrade which was awesome! Kim was so kind and made our stay very welcoming. Breakfast was simple but did the trick. Kim came around and took our egg order and made ham as well. We would definitely stay here again.
