“Don't waste your time and money...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2010

My husband and I were travelling with another couple for a 3 day mini vacation. We spent the first night in Cheticamp which was perfect and then travelled the Cabot Trail to Ingonish. We spent a night at the Sleepy Hollow Cottages and was not impressed at all...wallpaper is peeling off the walls in places, metal strips join the vinyl floorcovering in the kitchen/living room, bathroom was OK, the bedrooms had carpet on the floors which no doubt added to the most disturbing problem, the musty smell...after trying to amuse ourselves as the weather was not the best with rain and fog, we decided to go for a drive to get away from this nightmare. The price we paid was $187.00 which was so far out of line for the accomodations provided and I think the advertisement online nowhere reflects what these cottages really are...poor to substandard would be my rating. I think their website needs to have actual pictures of the accomodations, not some enhanced rendition...people travel long distances expecting to get what the proprietor promises. Oh, the light fixture mentioned in another review of these cottages is still not fixed and that was last year. Would I recommend this establishment to my friends, definitely not.

Other than Sleepy Hollow, we were very pleased with all our accommodations in Nova Scotia. Both the setting and the condition of the cabin were disappointing. The cottages are set in an area of quite uneven development with some ramshackle homes. When we were there, the access to the beach was difficult. (The manager said a bridge had been washed out. ) At best, you will still not feel close to the water.

The cottage itself had so many things that were not quite right that we at times were amused. Floors were uneven and a patchwork of materials that often were cut so they didn't quite reach the walls. The furniture was very tired. Sitting in the couch was a dive into the unknown. My husband finally lost his sense of humor when the light above one of the beds didn't work, and he found a loose live wire in the fixture.

We checked out early. There were a number of other accommodations in Ingonish that looked more pleasing to us. The owners/managers of Sleepy Hollow should be more accurate in their website presentation. And they should get some professional advice on their attempts at remodeling./modernizing. The rates are not consistent with the property.
