Before this trip, neither Paul or I had stayed at a B & B. Due to our experience with Bill and Shirley, the Brydens, we will likely never consider other accommodations while traveling! We cannot say enough about the location, the wonderful suite we occupied for three nights, and the incredible food! Above all, the genuine hospitality that we were... More

If I return to Nova Scotia, I would LOVE to stay here again. We had a fantastic "suite" with refrigerator, microwave, living area with huge flat-screen TV, very nice bathroom, and a perfect bedroom with queen size bed. This home is situated on 57 beautiful wooded acres with access to the lake. It was very peaceful here! There is a... More

Alice and I were first-time visitors (on Canada Day!) from upstate New York, and we LOVED our stay at Bryden Manor. The Brydens are the most gracious, generous and friendly hosts, and the accommodations fantastic. Two nights here were not nearly enough - we want to come back for a longer stay very soon! We learned quickly that most of... More

What can we say, another great visit to a wonderful place. This was our third visit and second Celtic Colours. Our time there is the highlight of the Festival. The breakfast has to be seen to believe, with fresh fruit and something hot different every day. Coming back each year has become a tradition. We highly recommed the Bryden Manor... More

My wife and I just returned from our ninth consecutive trip to Cape Breton. On our second trip we discovered Bryden Manor Bed and Breakfast. We have gone back every year since to see our friends Bill and Shirley and to enjoy the Celtic Colours Music Festival. Several years ago we joined up with friends at the B&B we had... More

Our second year and we can not say enough. Wonderful hosts, breakfasts, rooms and cleanliness. Very knowledgeable about the area, things to see and do. We plan on returning next year. Highly recommend to all,

We stayed only one night at this wonderful B&B at the beginning of October, but wished we had booked an entire week around this wonderful spot! We were there during the first weekend of October, but learned that there is a terrific cultural event that takes place during the middle of October and we will definitely plan a return trip... More

Our five night stay at the Bryden Manor Bed & Breakfast was one of the highlights of our trip to Nova Scotia. Shirley and Bill were excellent hosts who made us very welcome and treated us like friends. We enjoyed many laughs together. Shirley and Bill were fonts of information and their recommendations regarding places to visit and eating establishments... More

Our hosts, Bill and Shirley, were amazing and provided us with great accommodations, fabulous breakfasts (on superb china!) and made us feel so welcome in their home. They also provided us with great information about what to do and see in the area. The surroundings are beautiful as well. We hope to be able to return sometime very soon. Bryden... More
