My girlfriend and I were on a last-minute road trip to the Cabot Trail, and we stumbled on the Water's Edge. They had one room available so we took it. The room was comfortable and clean, and Wanda the cleaning lady was extra helpful. They gave us tips on the best places to see around the area, and had a... More

Pleasant B nB roomwise, with owners who are extremely friendly, interesting and helpful. As others have noted, not plush, probably somewhat overpriced, but occupies a nice spot across from the harbor.

My wife and I just returned from Nova Scotia and the highlight of our vacation was the Water's Edge. We stayed for one week - using Baddeck as our Cape Breton Island home base. Our room (#5) was so comfortable - the balcony overlooking the lake and wharf was spectacular! Waking up and going to sleep with that view was... More

We stayed two nights at Baddeck's Water's Edge Inn and Gallery, which has both rooms as well as apartment-like suites for vacationers. The service was amazing, and I bought lots of gifts and personal favourites at the gallery shop below. The view of the Bras Dor Lakes (across the road) was splendid, and the inn's rooms as well as its... More

We were very pleased with our 3 night stay at the Water's Edge Inn. Our room was large, nicely appointed and our bed and bedding were very comfortable. We stayed in room 4 which has a great view from the balcony and overlooks the bay. The Inn is at the perfect location in Baddeck and owner Michael and his daughter... More

Nice enough place for respite as your tour through Cape Breton. We stayed for one night. Wonderful hosts - super friendly and gracious. No issues with cleanliness (when I travel, it tops my concerns). Good linens. In our room, the placement of the TV was a little cumbersome - to the immediate right of the bed but we made do.... More

We had a great time at Water's Edge. Met lovely people from England, New Jersey & western Canada. Hosts Camilla & Michael were fun, charming, helpful: we all laughed a lot. Their advise on places to visit and food is not to be dismissed. Our room was large and well appointed. The art in the gallery was lovely. The breakfasts... More

We rather warmed to the Water's Edge Inn during our stay. "Plush" and "cute" it is not, so don't expect that, but do expect a bright, comfortable room (we stayed in room 2) with a great view of the harbour, nice balcony to sit on and good enough bathroom. The breakfast is continental but good muffins and you can make... More

We spent 2 nights there, and he inn doesn't look like much on the outside, but it packs a punch on the inside. Our room was nice, very spacious and comfortable with mini fridge and seating area. The balony had great view of marina. Was perfect for sitting out with cocktail before dinner. Inn is in perfect location for walking... More

All that separates the inn from the actual water's edge is a very un-busy, easy-to-cross street. Our room faced the water and had a nice balcony. The room was spotless, the owners friendly, and in spite of what some other reviewers have said, we found the breakfast to be quite adequate. Bran muffins and cinnamon bread were good, and making...
