Mattress was worn out and lumpy giving no support for a good nights sleep. Only one lumpy pillow each and no second pillow to prop up to read or watch a show. Toilet sits crooked on the floor and makes a loud squeaky noisy when you open the lid...the seat moves around when you sit down. The screen on the window is torn so if want fresh air you get bugs coming in. The price is unreasonable for a room of this quality.

The property is a remodeled heritage House. The remodel was nicely done with updated electric and plumbing. The room had top shelf linens and furnishings.
Our only dislike is that there is not a fridge or coffee station. You can get coffee downstairs after 7am, I am an early bird who loves her tea. Also be warned some some are up two flights of steep and narrow stairs. We were warned.... but it is a struggle with a heavy suitcase, impossible with bad knees or any other mobility issue.

We arrived in Baddeck for what was to be a several-day hiking excursion in the Cape Breton Highlands park. During our check-in, we were told that the park had just (literally -- an hour before we arrived) been closed indefinitely for fire prevention due to the drought conditions. Needless to say we were extremely disappointed but appreciated the guidance from the staff on our options for alternate activities and recommendations on breakfast options for the following morning. Our room was totally charming and we loved sleeping in the very comfy bed with the window opened to the fresh air. We had dinner at the most-excellent on-site restaurant, The Cable Room -- superb food, superb service. We would definitely stay there again. We'd also recommend The Freight Shed for breakfast -- 5-minute walk, very generous portions, nice friendly staff (if somewhat overworked -- be patient waiting for your bill to arrive), and small-pet friendly: the lady next to us had her Chihuahua in a bag on the table!

The staff were really nice, the house is old and cool looking but there were a couple of things that really weren't acceptable. First, there was no deadbolt/chain to secure the door from the inside, which is unheard of in any decent hotel. The bed was pretty uncomfortable and squeaked a lot. Also, the walls seemed paper thin, I was awoken by the people next door having a shower. It sounded like Niagara Falls. For $250+ a night, I would expect a deadbolt for security, a reasonably quiet bed and a minimum of insulation. I've stayed in worse, the balcony was quite awesome and, even though the room was small, it did the trick. For this price, you could do better, I think. But I could be wrong on that.

It’s an old style home turned into motel, quite small but pretty clean. Friendly staff and good restaurant. The room doesn’t have good wiring/plugs in the right places and also only very small desk space for your laptop/ipad/phone, so you will need to find wall plugs at different place to do charging. Blind cannot come down fully due to air conditioning.

The hostess was incredibly gracious and well informed of the area. Had a welcoming and helpful attitude. Recommendations for the area and very knowledgeable! I was concerned when we got the room at the top of the stairwell that we would have to deal with noise from other people going up and down, I was pleasantly surprised that it was not the case!

The lady that welcomed us was so nice and gave us excellent information about the town and surroundings. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The owner of the House which has been in his family for many years was also very interesting to talk to and had great information to share with us about our stay. I highly recomment the Telegraph House.

We stayed 2 nights at Telegraph House. The location is great and walking distance to some restaurants and has beautiful surroundings. The Motel is a converted older house and is charming. The sheets and the room were clean. The furniture is very dated and the amenities are minimal but adequate. Overall recommend this place as a good option in Baddeck.

This is a great property. Close to everything! The restaurant wasn’t open while we were there. There are lots of restaurants in the town and a cute (and delicious) coffee shop ‘Bean There’ I loved the front deck with all the tables for sitting or eating outside. Would have loved to have a couple of arm chairs in the room for sitting/reading and a slightly bigger table. Enjoyed our stay. It’s a beautiful town
