The 'Inn' is really a heritage house adjacent to a pretty stream that once provided power to a mill. The owner, Jill, has done a lovely job in maintaining the ambience of the place without compromising the amenities. The downstairs lounge is quite Victorian and a bit gloomy but our upstairs suite overlooking the stream was spacious, with a step-down room containing another bed, TV and sofa (which had lost a lot of its original spring!). The bathroom had a jacuzzi/shower combo that was most welcome. The grounds are worth exploring with a labyrinth on a lawn, and a hot tub overlooking the tumbling stream.

We spent three nights at the Inn while visiting Mabou, driving the Ceilidh and Cabot Trails. Our room was cozy and quiet, with a large bathroon. Breakfasts were delicious with eggs, fruit, scones, breakfast meats and lively conversation with the other guests. Jill was a wonderful host, when not making breakfast or tending to the rooms, she has a massage practice and I scheduled and received a great massage while there.

The Glendyer exceeded our expectations, even after reading the sort of reviews below. Everything I can think of to say has been well said elsewhere on these pages. I would only add that if you want to maximize the musical experience, be prepared to stay up late; things around here really start happening around 10 pm.

Jill had some great advice on where to go to catch some music, as well as hiking and sightseeing in other places on Cape Breton. We spent 5 nights at the Glendyer. Every breakfast was good and a little different, and we got to meet a variety of people. The road is wide and had been recently graded, so there were no potholes.

Beautiful and cosy, impeccably clean, nice breakfast and great hostess. Very reasonnable prices. We strongly recommend!!!
