Recent Reviews in Irish Cove

Telegraph House

10/10 Excellent

"Need to book dinner in the fancy restaurant in advance , it’s good"

The Lakes at Ben Eoin Golf Club and Resort

8/10 Good

"Our room was very spacious but spartan, no mini-fridge or microwave. The bed and linen were very comfortable and clean. The traffic noise was not a factor even though we faced the highway. The front desk staff member was efficient and friendly. The best part of our stay was the two meals we had in the dining room. Both times our meals were very tasty and well-presented. The dining room staff were minimal and did their best serving everyone. The price of the room made the accommodation a bit of a bargain. We would stay here again."

Auberge Gisele's Inn

8/10 Good

"Stark, industrial and uninviting dining area"

Aberdeen Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a small friendly motel. Staff were great during our stay. The motel is slowly being updated, it’s clean and tidy and well priced."

Bras d'Or Lakes Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet there. Free laundry was very helpful. The staff went out of their way to help out. We had hoped the dining room would be open. The heater in our room needs maintenance. It was very noisy. But all in all a very good place. We’d definitely recommend Bras D’Or Laje Inn."

The Iona Heights Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We found our stay to be very comfortable and the staff was so accommodating to whatever we needed. Loved it."
