Cozy Room in a Historic 1880s Inn · Cabot Trail, Cape Breton | Apartment in Dingwall
1 Bedroom Apartment in Aspy Bay, Dingwall
Stay in the Piper Room at The Glengarry Inn — a beautifully restored 1880s heritage property in Northern Cape Breton, just 7 minutes from the Cabot Trail in Sugar Loaf.

THE INN
The Glengarry was built in 1880 and has been a place for people to stay and gather ever since — a lodge, a general store, a community meeting place. The original 19th-century general store on the ground floor is still largely intact and now serves as a small on-site museum, which we love showing guests around.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
No pets allowed for guests. Two friendly miniature Australian shepherds — Ben and Quin — live on the property and love welcoming guests.
This is a 145-year-old building, and some sounds move through it the way it does in old places. The Piper Room is one of the quieter ones, but light sleepers may wish to pack earplugs.
The exterior of the inn is under gradual restoration — a labour of love that's been years in the making. Your room is fully finished and completely unaffected.
