this is the second year we returned to stay at the telegraph. It's a wonderful place right in the middle of downtown Baddeck. The Cable Room cuisine is unbelievable. Service including wait staff, cleaning staff and front desk superb. One could not do better for a holiday in Cape Breton.

Friendly staff who provided useful information on local amenities and guidance on touring the area. The only downside is that although the property has a very good restaurant it does not serve breakfast.

The property is clean but dated and old . Room was quaint. But we were in the back of the house in a cabin and all we could hear when we sat outside was I believe it was either the kitchen exhaust or the air conditioner from the main building running .
