About this property
Spend a night in a former convent...hot tub included!
Upon entering this former 100 year old convent one has an immediate sense of awe. From the massive oak staircase, to the large hallways and intricate original woodwork, from an Era long passed, it has the feeling of being transported back to that time. The listed price is based on 1 room with 2 people. ( If you require additional rooms the singles are $75 per night and you can make any additional payments upon arrival.) We have 2 single rooms and another couples room, available @ 130.per night. Extra rooms can be paid upon arrival. Have breakfast in the original convent kitchen and dining room after a wonderful night's sleep in a 4 poster bed. The hot tub off the back deck offers a most relaxing sense of calm, whether it be day or night. Perfect couple's or family getaway! 1 other room available for family groups. Close to oceanfront beach, lighthouse and walking trails. The hot tub will be available up until the 15th of October, when the weather in Cape Breton tends to take a frosty change.

Perfectly nice and kind family that hosted, breakfast was provided each morning, that really makes traveling much easier. They even made us each a plate for Thanksgiving dinner. There were 5 cats in the building, not allowed in kitchen or bedrooms. We loved the cats they were a bonus for our trip but maybe if you are allergic that could be a problem. The kitchen was a little untidy.

Poorly advised property
Had to share bathroom with around 10 people. Our party of 4 had to wait during the night for a call of nature generally it was a bad experience, one not to be repeated.
