Northern Cape Breton
The Top of the Island

Inns in Northern Cape Breton

The inns at the top of Cape Breton Island are locally owned and owner-operated. As innkeepers the operators' goal is to provide guests with a comfortable and unique experience while vacationing. They are knowledgeable about local historic sites and activities, both the well known and the lesser known attractions that don't make it into the tour guide books.

As hosts they are keen to help make your stay as active or relaxed as you desire. Many travellers believe that the individuality and warm hospitality offered by owner-operated inns creates an  accommodation experience that enhances their vacation.

Consider booking your next vacation with innkeepers who look forward to providing visitors with lasting memories and dreams of returning  to the Top of Cape Breton Island.
