8/10 Very good

Handy

A great place to stay en route to the Cabot Trail and Cape Breton Highlands NP. The staff are nice and polite and the rooms are spacious and clean. There's not much going on in Whycocomagh though, not easy to get a drink at all with most places being about a 30 minute drive away
