“Great location, good place overall”

One could not ask for a more stunning location in an historic hotel. The Lodge needs some updating in a few areas, but our room was comfortable. Cuisine was good and staff were very friendly, if a bit inexperienced. Breakfast buffet was good.

“great entertainment, but older crowd.”

We visited the Keltic Lodge one evening to check out the live music. It's a lovely, cozy and romantic spot to sit back and enjoy some great local talent. The caesar cocktails were also very delicious. We stayed at the Ingonish campground nearby (a cheaper alternative to staying in the hotel)
