We were 2 families together, totalling 12 people, and we could take advantage of the whole 3 rooms of the main building. So we'd almost enjoy the privacy of the 2 kitchens, the whole dining room, etc. We booked for 1 night but we finally stayed 2 nights since it was so affordable and fitting our needs. On the way...

It was great having you stay with us, I really enjoyed meeting you all. I hope that you enjoyed the rest of your trip and wonder if you saw any more Moose on your way back through the Cape Breton Highlands after leaving Pleasant Bay. Best Wishes and hope to see you again sometime. Thank You, Dawn. More

After staying at the Cabot Trail Hostel on a number of occasions I wasn't lying when I said I thought about selling all my assets and moving to this hostel permanently. This place just makes you feel at home. The location is great as it is right in the middle of the Cabot Trail and offers some amazing opportunities in... More

A big thank you to Dawn, she made our stay a fun and relaxed. The hostel itself is very clean and well organized, everything you could need really. Keep up the great work Dawn! PS - The gruelling hike into Pollett's Cove was well worth it! Mike More

We stayed in two bunk beds (4 beds were in the room, but the other two were not occupied). We stayed two nights. I would recommend the hostel to anyone without the need for a lot of privacy since you share the bathrooms and the common room of course. But it is a hostel after all. The two hosts are... More

I had such a wonderful stay there that I didn't want to leave. Dawn was very friendly, she really took the time to tell me about all the things to do around the area. She made sure I felt right at home at the hostel. It was a fantastic experience. Will definitely be back in a heartbeat! More

I stayed at the hostel as part of the Salty Bear Tour. The hostel has a perfect location. It's close to the Calbot Trail and to the beach. The rooms are clean, the kitchen has everything you need and after a busy day of activities it's a nice relaxing place to unwind. The staff is friendly and helpful. A beautiful... More
