These are large chalet-type, well-spaced buildings with both upstairs and downstairs units. All of the upstairs units have an ocean view! We had four different units between the group, two up and two down. All were spacious and had small kitchens with every implement for cooking a meal for four.

I would recommend staying here toward the end of your vacation so you can rest and really appreciate the incredible surroundings. There is a pretty large waterfall up on the mountain directly in front of the lodge. We stayed here in July and the nights were beautifully cool. The night sky is unbelievable! Although not included in the price, they offer breakfast most mornings and dinners a couple nights a week, so call ahead to make sure they will be serving dinner. Meals were delicious and they offer several options. There is a convenience Mart about 20 minutes away so not that far. The road has been worked on extensively and is now in much better shape. It is still gravel, but it is not an issue at all. There are beautiful hiking trails that lead directly to a designated wilderness area :-) and they have a wonderful swimming hole just a short walk away from the lodge. This is the kind of place you will remember for a very long time for its stunning nature, incredible solitude, and excellent hosts!

I was in Belle Cote for a wedding last weekend and honestly couldn't have been more impressed with…read morethis resort! There was a ton of us piling into this resort for the weekend of the 30th-1st and although there was slight disorganization in terms of attempting to book, we were in the end more than accommodated. The assistant manager running this resort does not seem to sleep; she fills all roles, at all times of day and night. Gorgeous cottages facing Margaree harbour as well with adirondack chairs facing the ocean. Absolutely picturesque. My absolute favorite part about this resort (and the thing that will get me back) was that we were not nickle and dimed. 11 of us easily fit into 2 cottages and there was never a mention of the typical: Extra $30/person/night etc etc. Ie- two nights in these cottages worked out to $70/person! A great place to head for a couples weekend what with the close proximity to beach, golf and spa. Love this place! By the way, note the lobster pound. Lobster was so fresh that the fisherman were coming in to refill the tank almost as fast as we were ordering!

There are only a couple of things I would change: (1) the dinners are a little pricey for what you get in comparison to other places in Nova Scotia; and (2) the cottages do not have an oven in the kitchen.

We were in cabin 11 which isn't too far from the reception (where meals are served, wifi, and board games) but if it's raining I recommend taking the car. There is a beautiful beach very close by (10 minute walk not even) and it was great to visit at night and in the day. The staff is great and the service is excellent.

Upon arrival, we asked the front desk staff a number of questions about the area, and were expertly directed to the places and activities we were interested in. We made a reservation for dinner and were seated by the window with a view of the ocean. The waitstaff was very pleasant, and the food was divine! We had the spring salad, which had a medley of local greens (even some mint!) along with rhubarb, baby turnips, and a delicious dressing. My husband's steak was cooked perfectly rare--just how he likes it--and the accompaniments were steamed fresh asparagus and amazing mashed potatoes. I had the fresh halibut, reportedly right from the waters visible from our window--and definitely tasting as so--served with fresh asparagus, and roasted red potatoes and turnips. Dessert was lemon cheesecake with blueberry sauce drizzled over, and warm apple spice cake with homemade maple ice cream (to die for!). After dinner, we enjoyed a walk on the property's beach to watch the sunset, sitting in Adirondack style chairs. There was a spot for a fire, but we didn't have matches to light it with. Our room was one of the log rooms, which are 3 to a building--all facing the ocean, with large sliding glass doors and a small front porch. We were in the middle room, so the porch was private with walls on each side. The beds were incredibly comfortable, with fluffy pillows and crisp, fresh linens. The bathroom was spotless, with extra towels and toiletries. The one downfall to this room was the level of noise present from the other two rooms; we could hear the conversations from both sides. However, the view made up for the noise! A continental breakfast was included, and had a variety of homemade muffins, incredible bacon cheddar scones, and oat biscuits (my new favorite treat to go with my coffee!). There were also a few different cereals, as well as hard boiled eggs and fresh fruit. I took a to-go coffee and sat on the bluff enjoying the morning sun. We only stayed one night, but should've stayed our whole vacation! We will definitely be back--we loved it!

It also had a great view from our window. The bed was very comfortable. The gas fireplace was a nice touch on the cooler evening. With the Romantic Package came dinner. Our gourmet 5 course dinner by Chef Rod was delicious. While each course was wonderful, the star of the meal was the lobster papparedelle dish! The lobster was so tender with a touch of sweetness. I still think about the meal! I highly recommend doing dinner at the cottage. Our seafood picnic for lunch was awesome. Lobster, shrimp, crab, lox, salad and a baguette. Yummy and very filling for our day of hiking. It also came packed in a backpack cooler so you could take it to go. The afternoon snack was also very tasty and a nice perk when coming back. Lynn and Rod were wonderful hosts. They are friendly, helpful and great people. They also went above and beyond. I only wish that we had more time to enjoy the cottage and property. I highly recommend staying here. When we come back to Cape Breton Island, I know that we will be staying here.
