Highly recommended
Away from the bustling city in a quiet setting, cosy and comfortable rooms with everything needed made us feel at home. The hosts were super nice and hospitable. The breakfast included had many varieties, we met and talked to people from different parts of the world.

A perfect view from the property
Driving into the property, we were very excited by the external appearance and the incredible view. The staff are nice and welcoming. The room was really disappointing- The bed was comfortable, but the furniture and bathroom were in great need of repair and updating. The way the room was organized was cramped crowded, and difficult to move around. There are few restaurants nearby and they generally closed by seven or 7:30 PM except for the restaurant at the Keltic Lodge which was a 10 to 15 minute drive from the property. It was an adequate stay in a beautiful location.

a disgusting motel. It should be condemned. Filthy room with cobwebs all over. Two useless table lamps in the room and an air conditioner that is uncontrollable and very noisy. We should be refunded!

We enjoyed our stay at the Castle Rock Country Inn. The staff were mostly friendly. The housekeeper didn't seem in the best mood though as he said in passing that we would be charged an extra night since we were checking out late. I guess he didn't realize we were staying for two nights and not checking out yet. The view from our room was awesome. We could see the Keltic lodge area and peninsula. The free breakfast was nice esp the smoked salmon, but the pancakes were inedible. Overall this was a quaint property with good views and a convenient drive to restaurants.

Staff very accommodating, allowed early check in. Inn is very clean and well kept property and grounds. Squeaky doors and floors and shower, otherwise a good stop along the trail. Breakfast was enjoyable but there was no dinner service at this time.

A nice little country inn near Ingonish with a beautiful outside sitting area with a million dollar view of ocean.
Complimentary breakfast buffet with hot & cold options.
