The Chanterelle Inn and restaurant are perfect! The couple who own and run it have invested great care into every detail. The exquisite dinner and breakfast meals were unexpected delights. The decor and bedrooms were lovely and relaxing. 26 acres surround the inn and create a welcome oasis right off Cabot Trail. This is a place we hope to visit again!

We loved our stay at the Chanterelle Inn! The hosts are great and the chef is awesome. Breakfast was included with our stay and it was delicious and a step above any breakfast we have ever had! We also made a reservation for a supper and again the meal was excellent with a very unique menu! It was a nice, peaceful place to stay. We ate our meals in screened in porch with a gorgeous view! So relaxing and peaceful!

I seldom choose Air B&B. But I'm glad I chose the right one this time. In one night's accommodation We can see that the landlord is very friendly and the room is in good condition. The most important thing is that the room is soundproof and can rest quietly. What surprises us is that there is a very good breakfast with many choices. I will choose this family to live in the future.

Wonderful room but the best meal you will find anywhere. We chose the full tasting menu which ranged from a warm shrimp salad to ice cream on rhubarb at the end with about five or six other dishes in between. It would be difficult to match in inventiveness, taste and quality what we had this evening with any restaurant in the country.

This is a very nice complex of a country inn and some self-catering cottages in a beautiful location on the Cabot trail. The restaurant offerings are superb. The central area in the lodge has great charm.

Fantastic get-away on the Cabot Trail.
A fabulous ending for a quick trip to Nova Scotia. The Chanterelle Country Inn & Cottages was perfect for us. The staff were friendly and engaging, very comfortable rooms that were very quiet. The food was an unexpected surprise. We had a number of excellent meals on our trip, but this was, hands down, the best meals we had, executed perfectly with wonderful ingredients. Even if you are not staying at the Inn, if you are in the area for breakfast or dinner, it is worth the visit.

A Trio of Scallops - 3 pan seared Atlantic Ocean scallops each on a different  base. Garlicky Nova 7 cream with bacon, saffron  and Aleppo pepper & bacon powder   Catalan tomato sauce and herbaceous Chimichurri
Scallops on Capellini -  Freshly made pasta, fresh tomatoes, olive oil, lots of garlic, and a hint of basil complete the base for the sweet Nova Scotian pan seared scallops garnished with red caviar and lavender-lilac emulsion

Excellent food and outstanding customer service!
This is a well-maintained bed and breakfast on the edge of the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton. New owners have just taken over this country inn and are making updates and renovations to an already well-established lodge and restaurant. The decorations and furniture need some replacement, but the food is delicious--available for both breakfast and dinner--and the setting is stunning. The new owners went out of their way to meet all of our needs and beyond. We had a fantastic stay and will return here when we next visit Nova Scotia!
