Franzi
Plenty of parking. Very welcoming staff. Great restaurant
David
Nice clean room in the heart of Baddeck. A short walk to restaurants and shopping.
Elmer
The room was sparse. It is not a fancy place. BUT it is very well located in Baddeck. Perfect for a first-time visit. Breakfast is not included which might be a good thing because the coffee shop across the street is great and sometimes comes with Rose, the best cheerleader for Cape Breton imaginable. She is full of great tips and enthusiasm.
The restaurant is highly thought of. We did not dine here because the menu did not excite us.

We were in a cabin room in back. Cute and comfy room. The inn was in a great location. We enjoyed dinner at the restaurant one of the nights we were there. Definitely would recommend The Telegraph House.

First time staying in Baddeck.
Very pleased with this charming, older property. Very clean with helpful staff. Loved the character of the building.
Easy access and parking. Restaurant on site with local seafood. Centrally located in the heart of town. Easy walk down to fishing wharf and shops on main street.
Nice deli/bakery across the street for breakfast in the morning.
Would recommend and stay again.

Well located hotel right in the center of Baddeck town with convenience store, COOP, breakfast joint and Grahme Bell historic site all closeby.

Very nice place, clean, location is good for restaurants, close to Cabot Trail. Simple room, relatively small. Fine dining at the restaurant. No special amenities- no coffee in room, no fridge in room.

It is in the centre of Baddeck! Very nice place to stay!

The room and bathroom were clean and well maintained. We had dinner in the restaurant which was excellent. It’s a shame that the hotel does not provide breakfast. The reception staff were really helpful - one even lent us a card to use in the local laundry and they provided good information.
ALFRED
Gluten Free restaurant ❤️

Sherwin
It was clean, but the mini fridge wasn’t working and the towels seemed a bit old. Beds were very comfortable.
Jan
The room was clean and comfortable. We had a little trouble, figuring out the coffee maker. But it all worked out. Such a pretty setting and town of Baddeck is really fun.
Ching
The room is very small and bathroom has no counter space. The staff is friendly and dining room was renovated and the food was decent.
Claudio
Classic hotel/inn right in the heart of Baddeck with convenient walking to local shops and restaurants. On-site dining room was phenomenal.
Mary
We has a cute cabin that was very comfortable. It had a jacuzzi tub but there were not instructions on how to use it. I figured it out the next day. Great location.
Lisa
We had a balcony with a gorgeous lake view. The room was clean, as was the bathroom. There’s no mini-fridge in the room. The location was ideal, right in the center of town with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. The only downsides for us were that the bed was not as comfortable as we would have liked, and the curtains didn’t do a good job of blocking the sun after it rose at 5:30 am. We still recommend the inn and wish we’d had a chance to try their gluten-free restaurant, which wasn’t yet open for the season.
Michael
The staff were welcoming and helpful. Our room was cheerful and clean had everything we needed. The location was perfect, lots of dining options just steps away.
Maureen
Great location in town. Walkable to shops and restaurants. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The Telegraph House is an older with history. It has been taken care by 4 generations of Dunlop's.
The staff is very nice and helpful and the room we stayed in was very clean and comfortable.
It's very well situated, walking distance from every restaurants, shops and pharmacy.

The staff were very welcoming and really accommodating with my husband with mobility issues. I have never been to a place where they say check out these 2 rooms to find what is best for you ... lovely and comfortable. The coffee shop across the street was magic
Shona
Room was spotless although we could not figure out the air conditioning two units showing what temperature the room was and allowed us to set a lower temperature but did not reduce the temperature.
Beautifully decorated and lovely comfy beds. Great fridge to chill drinks on the deck enjoying the view.
Loved Bedeck and will return.

We spent 2 nights at the Telegraph Inn. Our room was on the 3rd floor which luckily I had my husband to carry the bags up the narrow staircase. We had luggage for a 2 week vacation so we had lots of luggage. Wouldn’t be so bad if you just had an overnight bag. Our room was nice, newly renovated. There is no air conditioning. We were there in May and were comfortable having the windows open. The summer heat might be challenging? The location is great and the inn has lots of character. I’d recommend this location, I’d be a bit concerned about the heat in the summer.

Clean room, large bathroom with soaker tub. Was perfect for our two night stay in the area.
James
this is the second year we returned to stay at the telegraph. It's a wonderful place right in the middle of downtown Baddeck. The Cable Room cuisine is unbelievable. Service including wait staff, cleaning staff and front desk superb. One could not do better for a holiday in Cape Breton.
Margaret
Lovely property. Check in was easy and staff super helpful.
Karen
The staff were friendly and helpful. The Inn is centrally located to all amenities.

Kirby
The balcony view was great. Nice historic property. Great central location and lots of walkable places nearby.
Umang
Good motel at a good location in Baddeck. The room was nice but the fan was broken and when I asked, the staff were confused and then came by to check it out. Then the manager said that there was nothing to do and “it’s cold, so don’t worry.”
Jacqueline
Room had fridge, tv w/decent internet. Nice deep jacuzzi tub. Older rooms but adequately updated. Short walk to water and restaurants.
Joanne
Although the room was small it was clean, the air conditioner worked well.
This is a old hotel and it shows it's age.
We found it pricey for what it is. Also, no breakfast on site. They did offer coffee at the reception desk in the morning but we opted out as we went to a restaurant for breakfast

We loved our stay at the charming Telegraph House. It was exactly as we’d hoped. Conveniently located in this small charming town and we could walk to everything. Staff was very helpful and our meal in their restaurant was absolutely delicious! Thank you for a great stay.

Charming and well maintained older property.

lindsay
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.
Tony
Great place, Staff is great especially Marley , was very helpful, informative and patient. Room very clean and cozy. Premises very clean and beautiful.

Great onsite dinner restaurant with wonderful food and service. Good location!
It’s an older motel and wear shows mostly outside. No breakfast onsite - nice deli across street.

We loved the 'cabin' we were given, clean, modern, and we'll equipped.The food at the restaurant was wonderful.
Mona
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.

Stayed in a “cabin”. Tiny. Tired furnishings. Mirror hung so low in the bathroom you couldn’t see your head.
Lois
Comfy bed. Easy to walk to dining and waterfriont.
ann
Convenient location, comfortable bed and helpful staff.
Warren
Beautiful area and motel. Friendly staff and clean rooms. Back of property should be cleaned up and landscaped.
Shirley
The property is clean but dated and old . Room was quaint. But we were in the back of the house in a cabin and all we could hear when we sat outside was I believe it was either the kitchen exhaust or the air conditioner from the main building running .
Scott
Great location, clean rooms
Joanne
Lovely Inn with comfortable rooms.
Stephen
Friendly staff who provided useful information on local amenities and guidance on touring the area.
The only downside is that although the property has a very good restaurant it does not serve breakfast.

Andrew
Excellent restaurant, friendly staff and easy walk to the water and other sights.
Bonnie
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!
Ian
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.

Kelly
Beautiful older motel, really well maintained. Room was extremely clean and location was excellent! We would definitely return!
Howell
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.
