Place was great and breakfast was probably great during high season.
However, as I came at the end of October the resort was getting ready to close down for the winter therefore, breakfast was only coffee/juice toast/cereal

But thankful the staff at frontdesk was so helpful and assist us with patience heating our food we were thankfull for that service. Breakfast is good( putting egg in the bf line up will be better.

We were here toward the end of the season, so many amenities were not available. However, our room looking out to the lake was good with fluffy towels and a comfortable bed. Breakfast was continental, but could have used maybe some yogurt. There were a lot of sweet choices, but not really any savory. I was glad for the cereal. Location was good. Hotel staff was friendly and definitely on the ball. We were called early on that our reserved room type was no longer available at the end of the season and would it be ok to move us to a different room. Then, day of check in, Expedia sent notice that our reservation was cancelled, BUT after calling Silver Dart Lodge to confirm, turned out that was not true at all. I appreciated then staff the most.

Inn is a bit dated but clean. Housekeeping on the third day but requests quickly granted. Good location on the island. Would be helpful to paint some reflective lines near the entrance driveway to help unfamiliar visitors find it in the dark. Really nice little wooded walking path that connects to longer Baddeck multiuser trail. Breakfast buffet ok but not great.

The location is very picturesque, the grounds are well maintained, the facilities are good and relatively inexpensive but are showing their age. Our room was huge with a great view but lacked a few basics like: facial tissue (had to ask twice); counter space and places to hang things in the bathroom; and there was no security lock on the door to the ground level public deck. The housekeeping was poor: dirty walls by the sink, marks on the tub and when we arrived we had to clean off skid marks under the toilet seat where there shouldn't have been any!

Lovely spacious property, comfy beds, beautiful view, amazing breakfast for a great price, only $18 each for a buffet style breakfast with the best lake view. The ladies at the front desk were very knowledgeable about the town and very friendly. 10/10 would recommend and we’re definitely coming back next year!

This property was just okay but furnishings need to be updated/looking tired. Needed ear plugs to sleep as I could hear person next door (adjoining room) snoring. Room could have been cleaner - random can left on balcony. Location in Baddeck as a gateway to Cabot Trail was great but not really walkable as on a busy road. Breakfast buffet - at an extra charge of $19 a person - was okay, not great. Some fresh fruit would have been nice.

We had such a beautiful stay at the Silverdart Lodge. My friend and I were riding our bikes around the Cabot Trail when heavy rain left us stranded for three days. The Silverdart Lodge and their staff went above and beyond—truly amazing, incredibly accommodating, and always so friendly. The lodge provided comfort and care just when we needed it most, and we felt completely looked after. I would highly recommend staying here anytime, whether you’re exploring the Cabot Trail or just looking for a welcoming place to relax.

We arrived early but room not ready and no effort was made to prioritize room - toured the excellent Alexander Graham Bell museum and stopped for a drink at the freight shed (very nice) before returning at 2:00.. still not ready so did load of wash in antiquated but working washing machine for $5 and checked out advertised free bikes (too rusty and no brakes😜)

Room was adequate with comfortable beds but smelled somewhat musty so opened both doors to enable air flow! When checking in… bill presented was inflated by $100 but corrected when questioned with a comment of “good eye!”

Looked like nice restaurant but we did not partake in breakfast or dinner and left early to travel the Cabot Trail!

As others have stated, this is an older property and could really use an update. We were in a lower room in the main lodge and although the room was clean, the carpet smelled musty and everything just felt tired. Bathroom super cold and uninviting. Towels never dried throughout the day. One of the windows in the bedroom was missing a lock. We did not use the pool but did not look particularly inviting either. Gym consisted of 3 cardio machines. This was a 2 night stay so fine for us . Would not want to stay much longer than that. We had dinner in the restaurant one night and one breakfast. Breakfast was only buffet and was adequate for $18.00. Dinner was also decent although extremely busy in the dining room with a tour bus ( or 2 ) crowd. Had an issue with the wine my partner ordered that was not rectified so he paid for a glass of wine that he had one sip of. It sat there all through the meal and was not acknowledged by the server although he had told her it was too sweet and tasted like apple juice. Huge bright side were the wonderful ladies at the front desk! They were excellent! Quick, efficient check in and out and just generally lovely each time we spoke to them. Parking was also very easy .
