What distinguishes these accommodations from those of other regions, however, is the beauty of the region in which they are located. There are so many scenic accommodatons in the area that one would think that it is this region for which the phrase "Room With A View" was coined. B & B's at the head of harbours welcome returning fishing boats, while country housekeeping "homes" and cottages stand vigil over quiet harbors and against the pounding surf. Country inns offer canoeing and resorts offer fine oceanside dining...and with all properties being located outside Cape Breton Highlands National Park, there is no need to purchase National Park Visitors Permits to stay at these locations.
The common goal of the operators of accommodations at the top of the island is two-fold:
- To welcome their visitors and turn them into friends;
- To provide these newly-made friends with a generous serving of local tips and advice so that they may maximize their enjoyment of the spectacular environment in which all these properties are located.
