We stayed here for three nights - definitely get room 3. Much larger and not in a basement. Very modern Inn, built 7 years ago. Hosts very knowlegeable and helpful. Did not like having to put on bedroom slippers once entering the house. The basement had two bedrooms and a guest area with TV. Could have used an refrigerator with ice maker in that area.

The Luckenbooth is a roomy and clean B&B with a partial view of St. Anne's Bay through a thick surrounding of trees. Included in your room rate is a full and delicious breakfast prepared by the owners. While this B&B is priced appropriately, a few things could be improved upon. The bedrooms are spacious but the furniture needs updating. The central common area is nicely appointed for a log-cabin style, but guests are discouraged from using all but a small one in the basement, which isn't as nice and contains the only television or phone for guest use. This B&B is located in a rural setting surrounded by thick woods, with the nearest neighbour about 1 km away. Consequently, going to dinner or enjoying the nightlife in Baddeck is a considerable drive (approximately 25 minutes) through unlit back roads and highway. Also, the atmosphere is somewhat strict, with many rules for guests to follow, and there is a certain rigitiy in the air that makes for a somewhat guarded stay. All in all, however, it is clean and priced appropriately. Three stars would be an appropriate rating for this B&B.
