Manager was excellent to deal with. We had the Place to ourselves, very trusting staff! Beautiful room, very spacious. Comfortable bed, nice hot tub. Ski package was a good deal... Deff will be back to shoot 18 in the summer.

Recently while attending the Celtic Colours Festival in Cape Breton we had the very good fortune of having reserved a room at The Birches. Not only is it a wonderful place but the owner manager couple and all the staff have it right in terms of knowing that the customer is the best and most important asset. I would highly... More

My husband and I recently stayed at The Birches. Lovely quiet Inn, spacious and very clean rooms. The Innkeepers are very hospitabale and go out of their way to see to your needs and make you feel welcome. We really enjoyed our stay. The dining room is very nice and the food was very good but somewhat overpriced.

I stayed for four nights on my first visit to Cape Breton Island. I was very impressed with the inn, building, rooms etc. The staff were particularly outstanding with recommendations for visits including plenty of local knowledge.

Absolutely Fabulous, from the time you arrive when you are greeted so warmly, taken to you room, and the time is taken to show you around.

The rooms were warm and cosy, and spacious, we were on the first floor with access onto the veranda. The owners were... More

We just stayed for one night with my husband and our 4 year old daughter. Every aspect was excellent - the service, the high quality of the rooms, the very comfy beds, the showers, everything. We ended up having to call from the road to cancel our dinner reservation because we were running late but then regretted it when we... More
