Property was fine for the price (we stayed in a Chalet). Beds were good. Breakfast was awful. Powdered eggs, limp bacon and grocery store bread for $18.00 a person.

Disliked: Staff & service
Very outdated. Front staff were not the most friendly. Water view room is a stretch. View is a large front lawn, the highway, more property, then a peek at some water. TV was not high def and kept freezing. Very little to do in the town. A lot of shops were closed, and there weren't that many to begin with. Tony's pizza was excellent, as was the ice cream shop.

Exactly what we were hoping for! Beautiful location, clean, stunning views, pool, lovely & helpful staff and centrally located to the Cabot Trail, Baddeck lobster supper, site seeing, restaurants etc. One negative review regarding our room is a lack of hooks to hang towels after a shower or wet swimsuits, and nowhere to set things down such as toiletry items and bags. Other than that, a true gem!
View from our room. 😍

Room overlooks the sea and the room was very cool after a very warm day. For those that wanted more heat the balcony was good. There’s a pool onsite and the best eating places are walkable.

Great location to the Cabot Trail and views

The Silver Dart Lodge is a beautiful property with an excellent view. We stayed in the east lodge and got to see a beautiful sunset over lake bras d'or. The rooms are spacious and the property is well maintained. The rooms could use a facelift.
