Renay
Absolutely, hands down the best hotel we’ve stayed at on our trip to the Maritimes. From the ambiance of the hotel to the amazing food at the restaurant, incredibly clean rooms, laundry facility access for guests. We will be back!
ALAIN
Stationnement grand et gratuit. Bon hôtel situé dans petit village pres de l’autoroute.
Laurie Laurence
We were only in town for a night but thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Checking in was a pleasant experience and the staff were personable. It was close to everything and very clean and tidy. The room was nicely decorated with interesting pieces and quiet as well. The bed was comfy, everything worked well. My only criticism and it holds true of all hotels/inns etc is that the room coffee isn’t so great. Would definitely stay again.
Pauline
Lovely hotel . Room was very clean .
Jordan
An excellent stay in a central location. The bathroom fan didn't work well but otherwise everything was excellent.
There are 50kW and 7.5kW Flo EV chargers available within the property parking lot.

The location of the property was great to be able to walk to shops and restaurants. Check in was easy and the front desk staff were very nice.
Mary Anne
The room was clean. We had nice views to the water from our room. We enjoyed the in room coffee maker. Although we did not receive housekeeping during our 3 nights, extra towels were supplied. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was good. The bed was alittle on the hard side for me but that’s personal opinion. We had a great stay.
Nicolette
Great place to stay. Beds were uncomfortable other than that stay was great !
Tracy
We loved our stay in Baddeck. It is an amazing small town. Some good restaurants, community theatre, a nightly ceilidh. The Lynwood hotel was fine. The beds were comfortable — not fabulous but reasonable. Amazing water pressure in the shower. No real storage in the bathroom though. A vanity instead of a pedestal sink would have been more useful. Everything was clean. A nice little fridge in the room, a one cup coffee maker that overflowed every time using the coffee ‘bags’ provided, and a microwave. The cleaning staff were very nice and helpful. Parking was easy. Right at our door. The wifi was reliable. Not blazing fast like we have in the city, but perfectly adequate for vacation use. The AC unit was noisy and it was uncharacteristically hot. So it woke me up at intervals through the night. There is a restaurant on site. We had dinner there one night. Again it was fine. Not great and we didn’t go back. The Lynwood worked well for me and my daughter. It was a solid 4 star experience. I felt there were details that could be handled better that would elevate the whole experience. Having said that, I would absolutely stay there again, as long as I could be in the ground floor. No elevator.
Diane
This is very nicely located walking distance to waterfront , Bell museum etc. Great staff, great restaurant.

The unit was charming and quaint. Comfortable and clean. The AC unit was very disturbing, loud noise when it was activated. The fan was loud too. Better unit should be added.
Some counter space in the bathroom would be helpful, no where to put toiletries.
Good place for a small town but quite expensive. Inns are charging the same amount as hotels in larger towns. There should be breakfast option included. Most of the eateries in Baddeck were very expensive - $50 for a simple breakfast for 5 people!. we had to go to Tim Hortons....and a big line up. I'm sure most people were hurting with the price.

Awesome!
Rick
The property was beautiful and well maintained. Rooms were clean but poorly furnished. No counter space in room or bathroom. No one touched our room for our complete 3 day stay.
The restaurant opened on the last day we were there, June 20 2026 The website said opened the middle of the month. Which was disappointing as we would have liked to support it. I would still recommend this property as it is beautiful and the staff is great.
I would prefer a little better communication.

Property needs to be maintained
It’s more like ghost and haunted painting in the rooms and hall ways.
Just need upgrades on old style to modern furniture and stuff

Clean room and bathroom. Old-fashioned coffee maker - needs an upgrade. Dining is not available, even though the website said it was available after June 15. (Other dining was available in the town of Baddeck.)
Shirley
The Inn was well maintained. Room was spacious and clean.
Jim
We stayed in Baddeck many years ago and wondered over to the Lynwood inn for dinner. We said if we returned, we would like to stay there. It was a wonderful place to stay two evenings. Spacious with a little balcony and great water pressure and a water jet tub. Too bad the restaurant was not open, but there are some nice places to eat in walking distance. When we returned to Baddeck, we will definitely stay at the Lynwood Inn once again.
David
We were there early in the season, and there weren’t staff at the desk very much. But it was clean and nicely maintained. The room was comfortable, and the showers were nice. Walking distance to everything in Baddeck
James
Front desk not always staffed but available for check in later in afternoon. Property isn’t fully open so no breakfast. Nice corner room with balcony but outside chairs were wet do’s couldn’t room. Big bathroom, everything was very clean. If in the area again with try something else.

The Inn is a lovely property in a central location. Initially, we were given a room on the ground floor which had a strong smell, the owners upgraded us to a room one floor up. The owners are lovely, live offsite and respond quickly when called. The shower is lovely, great water pressure; ample towels. The beds are very comfortable. The rooms are very clean and well maintained. The rooms are cozy, 80’s decor. Pride of ownership is evident.
Paul
A comfortable and convenient hotel. Unfortunately no dinner or breakfasr in the winter season but close to a couple of other options.

This property is well located and easy to find. Lots of dining / drinking venues within walking distance. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The receptionist however was less than welcoming.
Fazle
Parking was safe, surrounding environment was nice and quiet. Note sure about the breakfast, as breakfast wasn’t complementary for us. We did breakfast our breakfast somewhere else.
Carla
Great property, nice room and really great restaurant on-site.

Lovely Victorian facility- clean, walking distance to shops and restaurants in town. We didn’t have dinner or breakfast here, but it looked great. Jacuzzi tub was clean and a nice break from hiking and driving.

The inn's location was prefect for walking through the waterfront area with its shops and restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable and provided a view of the waterfront.

The check-in process was smooth at the Lynnwood Inn. I was issued two metal keys, and each hotel room key allows access through the main door. The hotel is really close to the main street of the town and the room was cozy. The shower pressure was good, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the hotel was quiet, all items I look for in a hotel. I would certainly stay here again if I am ever in Baddeck.
Deborah
Excellent location in Baddeck. Would stay here again!
Lynette
Very nice accomodations.

Inn was nice, carpets worn down. Great location nice clean rooms
Rebecca
My partner was spooked by the Victorian decor, but I thought it was very charming. It's in a really convenient location, close to the shore, with plenty of sidewalks and quiet streets. The tub in the unit we stayed in also had jets, which was nice for our baths.
Carol
We loved staying at this location, the rooms were very nice with an amazing vibe of the past. We had dinner in the hotel’s restaurant and would highly recommend it. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Overall it was good. Rooms quite small but were clean
Melanie
Bed was very firm and uncomfortable. WIFI was down part of the time. Housekeeping was only offered every few days. Staff very accommodating and friendly.
Janet
The room was clean but a little small. We actually picked this hotel because of the free EV charging available. The restaurant was great and an added bonus since we arrived late and didn't have time to find another place to dine.
Room for improvements -
The toilet was leaking. There was no freezer as part of the fridge but glad that there was an ice machine available. The internet was so slow that we didn't bother to use it - there was poor bandwidth.

Wonderful
My recent stay at this Victorian-style inn was a very positive experience. The inn is absolutely charming, and the room was exceptionally clean, which I greatly appreciated. The view from the room was also wonderful, adding a nice touch to the atmosphere.
A major highlight was the whirlpool tub in the room, which was a fantastic feature and we really enjoyed using it. It made for a very relaxing and luxurious evening.
The only minor issue we encountered was with the complimentary coffee station. The creamer and sugar tasted stale or old, and it seemed they hadn't been replaced with a fresh supply. While a small detail, it was a bit disappointing when we went to make our morning coffee.
Despite this one small issue, we had a delightful stay and would definitely recommend this beautiful and clean inn.

Our waitress at breakfast was almost invisible. No checking up on us, no refills, no contact. Whereas the young man who served the other tables was delightful to observe. Talked about where he was from, common grounds with his clients, gave good tourist info. Maybe you were short staffed and our waitress had to work in the kitchen as well but the difference in service was extreme.
Mark
Good location, nice restaurant. No internet while we were there due to equipment failure. Staff were accomodating.
Bruce
The wifi was a bit of a disappointment.
The outside door locks were a bit annoying.
The walkway to the back lot was a difficult to navigate due as it has lips and the door has a very efficient closing mechanism

This place was fantastic - loved it!
John
The Lynwood inn is in a great location and the staff is extremely nice. The hotel wall was paper thin and being on the ground floor every single time anyone opened or closed the entrance door it resulted in a slam that was audibly felt and heard in our room. Additionally you could hear everyone walking up or down the stairs. Using earplugs did not help. The bed configuration almost needs to be switched so your head isn't against the slamming door. Or at a minimum they need to fix the door jam so it isn't slamming constantly. This is most likely only an issue for the 1 room we got but all 4 of us had an inconsistent sleep due to the noise. We left more tired than arriving.
Pam
Charming inn.
BAPTISTE
Very nice hotel in Baddeck.
Kelly
Cute, older building. Very central, within walking distance of food etc. The building itself is older, could use some updating and repair. Overall a decent stay although the town is sparse and most places closed by 5pm other than restaurants.
Crystal
I would definitely recommend this property!
Daniel
Well appointed rooms and quiet atmosphere. Convenient walk to wharf.
Steven
No outside areas to sit. Restaurant staff very good but too few cooks and servers. Long waits for seating and longer waits for food. Long lines to get in and many guests turned away .

I am a senior with some difficulty with stairs (I am still able to manoeuvre) was given a room on the main floor but there were still stairs involved.
I would say there is a growing number of seniors still travelling. Did not see in your website where stairs or no elevator was mentioned.
