After having stayed at the SDL on previous visits to Cape Breton, we decided to go for the Celtic Colours in October. The SDL is so central and is ideal for travelling throughout Cape Breton. We started off at Port Hawkesbury for the opening concert, which was oneof the best concerts I have been to. The talent was amazing. We... More

A most pleasant place to stay whether for a long break or to chill out on a long tour as we did. Of particular note was the walk down to the water's edge. Most romantic! The hotel is well placed for the ferry to Newfoundland and a tour of the Cape Breton highlands. The lodge is a little dated but... More

This was a good place to stay for getting to Cape Breton Island but the lodge is very dated and in need of a facelift. The view from our room was amazing though. We ate in the restaurant the first night we were there and the chef kindly cooked a special vegetarian meal for my friend but when we went... More

Upon Checkin - there was no sense of hospitality as I asked for some pointers on driving the Cabot Trail the next day. They provided us a map and sent us to our room. The room was dated, but expected. Quite large, which was nice. Overall comfortable. We ate at the restaurant for breakfast and it was average once again.... More

This was our first trip to Nova Scotia and the Bras D'Or Lake area. The Silver Dart Lodge was by far one of our favorite stays for a family of five including one small child. The hotel is more of a motel. Old fashioned, but very well maintained. Our room was large and the kids had a great time roaming... More

Initially disappointed as I thought the chalets were detached but we were lucky to have quiet neighbours, and apart from a little snoring in the early hours, and a smoke alarm going off in the morning, they didn’t really bother us at all. We made our own breakfast in the chalet’s tiny kitchenette, coffee maker/fridge/toaster/knives and forks, plates, glasses/washing up... More

As a college student, I worked a summer in the Silver Dart Lodge dining room. The dining room's view has not changed over the years; thank goodness because it has a panoramic view of the Bras D'Or Lake. The layout of the dining room is a bit different but blends with the decor of the older part of the room.... More

We have tried several other places in the Baddeck area and this one is our favorite. It is in a great location with a beautiful view. The rooms are clean and very comfortable, the staff are friendly and always helpful, and the food in McCurdy's dining room is very good. The breakfast buffet has a lot of choices but you... More

The Silver Dart Lodge is reasonably priced, comfortable and clean place to stay in Baddeck, a beautiful little Cape Breton village. The lodge has beautiful grounds and a terrific view of Lake Bras D' Or. We stayed in the East Lodge for both our stays there. The rooms in the East Lodge were modern and a typical "hotel room" design.... More

The lodge, like most things in Cape Breton is a little "rustic", but very clean and with terrific view of the Lake. The house keeping service was outstanding. On our first day, the housekeeper asked us if we needed anything or had any special requests, like extra coffee, etc. That's the first time I can remember that happening. Altogether a... More
