Brilliant old house, in great condition. The yrd wants some love though. I'd be happy to rebuild the stone walls.

    After 32 years since my last visit, I was saddened to find that the bustling daily life and historical scenes of my past recollected experience were no longer present (lots of costumed interpreters, horses and carts, auctions, active village programs throughout the day, period meals served in the food purveyor spaces). The life and character of this historical fortress apparently died a COVID death as very few individuals were around to bring to life the settlement in its heyday. Barely any animals to be seen and lots of closed buildings. Our highlight was the bakery and buying fresh bread. Unfortunately a disappointment but hopefully some federal funding can inject new life into this excellent site in the near future.

    The Fortress is an amazing Canadian landmark accomplishment,...

    The Fortress is an amazing Canadian landmark accomplishment, a historical treasurer! We took 2 tours, the first was a Solider in period dress who shared his life story, and actually shot his rifle to demonstrate. He then escorted us to one of the homes, where we were met by a woman in period dress who shared life in the household and the history of homemade hot chocolate which she had prepared for us. We also booked a private tour; our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the history of the Louisbourg fortress! Every building we entered had amazing people in period dress, sharing stories of life at that time...this experience is where history truly comes to life. Thank you Canada!

    Louisburg is an amazing town with an incredibly rich history. The Heritage House reflects that beautifully with its rooms and hallways and dining areas that reflect our history. The breakfasts were just amazing and in a wonderful setting. We could walk anywhere in the town and easily access delicious food, drinks and beautiful scenery.

    We had a great time visiting the Fortress of Louisbourg and exploring some country roads in the area. Staff at the Fortress was very welcoming. It was a great experience learning about what life was like back in the 1700s

    As a history lover, the fortress is fascinating. The experience is scaled down a bit due to COVID-19 restrictions but still enjoyable seeing the site and interacting with the friendly and knowledgeable costumed guides.

    The property has a wonderful view ofthe wild Atlantic and the Louisbourg fortress. The hotel rooms are very tastefully decorated with wicker and textiles. The linens and pillows are very. luxurious The room is well equipped with all you need for preparing light meals also. Don’t miss dining at the Bothy restaurant where the meals are exceptional and very good value. We also enjoyed the musician Khouzie’s performance while we dined. And you may see Colin and Justin doing all they can to make the customer enjoy his/her stay.

    The room was cozy, self-contained, very clean, convenient for walking, the large fridge and freezer was perfect for our snacks and for keeping our ice packs frozen. It was very fitting for the purpose of our trip which was to spend a full day at the Louisburg Fortress. The kitchen facilities were excellent, we had tea and popcorn and the wine glasses were ideal for our drinks by the fireplace.

    Breakfast was exceptional with "specials" added each day-once eggs benedict, another morning quiche. David was the absolute best, welcoming, making everything easy. The room was lovely. Location couldn't be better for a visit to the Fortress at Louisbourg. Dinner restaurants in town were very good too.

    Loved the location of this BNB, off the beaten path but not far from Louisbourg. Lovely views as the home is lakeside. The host was welcoming, friendly, and had good recommendations for restaurants nearby . Great breakfast. Private room was lovely. Would definitely recommend this accommodation.

    We had a great stay! Only a couple of minutes from Fortress Louisbourg. Excellent food for the dinner menu - we had Beef Bourgogne and Lobster Mac'n'Cheese - we loved them. The dinner building (The Bothy) also has a nice area to relax with a drink and it sometimes has music. We'll be back.

    The location couldn’t be more perfect. 5 minutes from the Fortress and walking distance to restaurants. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. The shower spray was very strong - best we’ve had on this trip so far!

    Cranberry Cove Inn was absolutely beautiful, spectacular host, and the homemade breakfast prepared was out of this world. This is the place to stay overnight if visiting the Fortress of Louisbourg, Cape Breton. You will not be disappointed.

    The breakfast was excellent. Very quaint; loved the charm of the inn. While we were in Louisbourg, only one restaurant was open for dinner, so not great. Nice approx. 7km walking trail to the fortress.
