What a view from your room, I will be really honest, yes this place is tired BUT THAT IS ALL. You do have a really great comfortable bed, yes its really quiet , THAT is a big deal for me I have three sleep disorders. Yes there is a fridge in your room, wooden floors, THIS IS ABOUT WHAT IS ON OFFER. They have a really great chef, the staff are really friendly, this was our first trip to drive the trail its really stunning , hoping to come back in October for husbands birthday. It would also be a great place for a destination wedding, as the resturant is set up great for a wedding. If you have kids yes swimming pool yes hoops yes bikes its all here.. A lick of paint would go far but I also know we have a hard winter this year for snow. IF YOU STAY YOU WILL CERTAINLY LOVE THE VIEW. AND A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.

The property is in a good location and affords a great view of Baddeck's lake. The room was clean and service was good. They had a restaurant and bar. If you are looking for a modern hotel with all the latest amenities - this isn't it. If you are looking for a hotel with a great view, good service and clean - this fits the bill perfectly

Fabulous stay right on the Cabot Trail. Highly recommend booking the chalet, uphill from the other lodges with a great view of the bay. Very comfortable room, old style but kept very well and clean. Very friendly staff and a lovely restaurant with a beautiful view on the bay. Excellent experience

Silver Dart Lodge was a lovely place to stay as we began our Cape Breton exploration. I paid extra for a chalet, hoping we would have a better water view. However, it seems like if you stay at one of the regular rooms, you are closer to the water. The chalet gives you easieraccess to a huge green space and you have a lovely porch. Unfortunately, the television system in the chalets is extremely old, which is a bit of a downer. Other than that great time and the staff was wonderful! We ate at the restaurant and the food was delicious.

Great stay !

We were there very early in the season and the weather was cool and often foggy but the hotel was warm & welcoming with one of the few restaurants that was open at that time of year. If in the area we would definitely stay there again.
