We were part of the family ( previous review DonP) who were in Sydney for a family service. Arriving at Paradise Found in the very early morning hours we were greeted by a smiling Rick who gave us a warm welcome and escorted us to our lovely room. Their home is character filled and beautiful. "Breakfast time" around their gorgeous... More

We recently experienced a death in our family which necessitated a return home to Sydney NS. We were beyond fortunate to have decided on staying at "A Paradise Found"- a beautiful home. But it is Rick and Connie who made the visit warm, welcoming and supportive. Our family members were welcomed there following the "service" and it felt like home.... More

We were referred to A Paradise Found by another B&B owner who didn't want the hassle of coming home and taking care of new, unannounced arrivals. Lucky for us because we enjoyed a memorable breakfast and warm hospitality with Rick and Connie. After two weeks of bacon and eggs, I was pretty sure my arteries were setback with major clogging....

The review is wonderful, as were the guests who wrote it and obviously enjoyed their stay enough to rate their stay as "5 bubbles" in every category. I cannot understand, therefore, why the overall rating given by Trip Advisor only rates the stay as "4 bubbles". Am I missing something? The "4 bubble" overall rating is not consistent with my...

We spent three nights with Rick and Connie in September. From the first emails, Rick was very responsive, suggesting activities for the day and entertainment for our evenings in Cape Breton. We were traveling with another couple, occupying two of the three bedrooms. Both suites were nice, and very, very clean. The two most memorable things about our stay were... More

It was great to have the 4 of you from the great State of Texas with us here at A Paradise Found and glad that you enjoyed your time with us. If I recall right, I think it was about 104 Fahrenheit in Houston the days you were here - a perfect time to get away and explore the beauty... More

This is a great B&B. Rick and Connie serve great breakfasts and give you all the service and support you need. The room is very nice and clean. My son is studying in Sydney at CBU and Rick and Connie gave all the support that they could give. Betty from the Netherlands.

Connie and I really enjoyed having you with us at A Paradise Found. We were particulary happy to renew our acquaintance with AJ and we look forward to following all of the Capers games again this season. Connie was just talking to him tonight and they beat St FX (their biggest rivals) by 40 points today on their own court.... More

From the beginning of our 4 1/2 day stay, Rick and Connie Treated us as family opening their home to much more than a place to sleep. With our granddaughters wedding, they offered us use of almost the entire house. They told us about the Celtic Coulors festival and other activities to fill our "free time". Connies breakfasts were amazing... More

It was a pleasure to have you and your family here for your grand daughter's wedding and we're glad that you enjoyed the visit as much as we did. Perhaps with your new "Cape Breton Connection" we'll see you all again. I'd just let you know that Katrina dropped in before she left the Island and we gave her your... More

Not only were the accommodations and breakfast excellent, but the owners, Connie and Rick, knock their brains out to insure you do/see the best of everything. They also help with driving directions which is mandatory in this area. But for Rick, we never would have known of the fantastic fall music festival, Celtic Coulors, and believe me, it is a... More

We arrived early and were leaving early the next morning. Connie quickly loaded us up with maps and suggestions for things to do on this wet and dreary day. We went to the Miners Museum, took a drive along the water and visited Fort Louisburg. This is a lovely B&B. An old house with beautiful rooms, very clean. We had... More

It was a pleasure to have the 3 of you here as guests and so nice that you were able to squeeze so many of the sights into your day. I ended getting up at 4:30 for 4 days in a row and started to think I was back in the Navy standing a constant morning watch at sea. More

Great B+B and the hosts Rick and Connie are very welcoming. They gave us a lot of useful recommendations and we had long talks during breakfast. The B+B is nicely situated, on a quiet residential street, but within walking distance to downtown. We can highly recommend this B+B.
