Downstairs, the inn's 19th-century general store, untouched since the 1950s, now serves as an on-site museum we love showing guests around.
We don't serve meals at the inn, but good food is never far. Ask us, and we'll point you to the right places.
Guest access
You'll enter through the main inn door on the right. We send your key codes before arrival, one for the building and one for the Cèilidh Room on the third floor.
Your private deck is accessed directly from the room. It's all yours for the duration of your stay.
The inn's common areas, including our 19th-century general store museum, are open to all guests. North Harbour Beach on Aspy Bay is a five-minute walk from the front door.
During your stay
We're on the property and genuinely available. We love helping guests make the most of this part of Cape Breton, whether that's pointing you toward a humpback whale sighting, organising a scooter for the day, or just telling you which trail to catch at golden hour.
Reach us any time on the Airbnb app, or just knock
Other things to note
We don't allow pets, but we should mention that Ben and Quin, our two miniature Australian shepherds, live here and may trot over to say hello when you arrive. They're very friendly and very enthusiastic about guests.
The Glengarry is 145 years old, which means it has all the character of a heritage building, including the occasional sound that travels between rooms. We've done our best with insulation, but light sleepers may want to pack earplugs just in case.
You'll see some scaffolding on the exterior, we're in the middle of a loving restoration. Your room is fully finished and completely unaffected.
