No frills, but clean, quiet and perfect for what we wanted -- a jumping off spot for our trip up to Cape Breton. The host, Dave, is gracious and attentive. Our room was quite large (narrow and long) with a king bed and full bathroom. Thursday through Sunday they serve homemade pizza -- delicious! (The wine and beer selection is... More

Wonderful hospitality, generously apportioned, comfortable rooms, outstanding food and great service from the owner, Dave! We enjoyed our stay here so much that we went out of our way to stay a second night after driving the Cabot Trail. Don't miss a visit to the shrine next door. We highly recommended this Inn!

Stayed here while visiting mabou. Rooms were comfortable and the staff was nice I had a biscuit and some berries for breakfast .Rhe bathrooms were nice in the room there is a couch one bed in the room I was in and a tv.

Mabou River Inn really is a great place to stay while visiting the wonderful area of Mabou. It's a great staging point for traveling to other areas of the island as well as local dances, music etc. Rooms were very comfortable and pleasing. Breakfast was good and so was the staff. I can't say we have anything negative at all... More

We stayed two nights in late July as part of our circuit tour of Cape Breton. The check-in was a little awkward- it doubles as a pizza parlor on some nights, and we seemed to be in the middle of a local crowd and we were uncertain as who to flag down. Once we got someone's attention, we got our... More

First, make your reservation over the phone. The internet will never replace the voice of a Cape Bretoner. By the time we got off of the phone we couldn't wait to get to the Mabou Inn and it got better. The owner and staff have worked so hard to make improvements over the years and hopefully they are being rewarded.... More

Wonderful clean fresh rooms. Private bath directly across the hall was large, very clean and easy to access. Lots of towels, soft robes, and a wonderful shower. The beds and linens were heaven after a long day. The windows opened to give great cooling breeze. The dining room and lounge furnishings/decor were tastefully selected to make it warm and welcoming.... More

When we arrived, we really didn't know what to expect since the entrance to the inn is also the entrance to the restaurant/pizza parlour, and we thought we were in the wrong place. Once we were warmly welcomed, we checked in and went up to our room (room #1). We were given a huge and comfortable room, nice bedding, an... More

The Mabou River Inn is located near Cape Breton. Our room had a private bath across the hallway and robes were provided. The inn serves pizza many nights, but is close to several good restaurants- the most famous is The Red Shoe. Here you can hear the local Celtic music nightly while you have a good pub meal! The bedding... More
