Ceilidh Country Lodge

We stayed in MacDonald house on the lower level. The smell was terrible. It was mildew with chemicals maybe on top of it. It was very irritating to the lungs and gave me a headache. The bathroom fan was so loud that it was difficult to hear a conversation with someone right next to you. The paint was bubbling away from the wall in the bathroom. The check out involved putting keys in a bucket that anyone can access. The noise from the other rooms was so loud even if they were just walking around or using the bathroom

The room we got was old smelly and definitely needed some love. Outside door frame was worn out, carpet had some shady stains, wifi was not reaching our room and there was a couple of bugs inside. Other than that the location was good and staff was friendly.

So we were on a family road trip and we had camping plans all along but it started raining. We looked around for rooms and decided to go for this one, around 150 after taxes we thought it looked quite cute from the outside and the price was nice so we took it. We went into the room, which was awful to open with the key but it’s fine. When we opened it there was a weird old mildew smell and absolutely no accommodations such as a fridge, kettle or even a microwave. We called and they told us to come down get it at the main house. We decided that we wouldn’t keep the room as it didn’t quite suit our taste and thought about discussing it with the reception for refund, we hadn’t touched the room yet. Well I personally wasn’t there but my mom called me to come in because she wouldn’t give a refund. I come in to the old lady yelling no no no she won’t hear a word from us whatsoever. We explained that we wouldn’t even take all the money just find a common ground she wouldn’t listen at all. That we were the ones looking for “cheap rooms” and came and looked at the room, there’s no way she would refund us. We told her she could examine the room and she wouldn’t hear anything from us and kept yelling! Didn’t want to ask why we weren’t satisfied or anything. Just big no’s, yelling and walking away. Customers arrived at she talked to them fast and they looked at us funny. She would just shake her head at my mom which did not have the best English (we were from Quebec but are Asians). The staff was nice though she offered us to use their microwave in the dinning room and told us she couldn’t do much which is understandable. The lady who claims being the boss/manager (I don’t think it’s the same thing but well) keeps ignoring us so we go back to the room. We opened the windows to air it (which we had a hard time doing). There was two seemingly dead flies on ceiling (see picture 2), stains on the carpet and walls, stains on the bedsheets (took one picture p3) and creepy/weird hand prints on the mirror (picture 1). We could hear the people upstairs and on the other side of the wall walking and using the water. We have stayed in older motels and really great one but the worst here was the attitude that we received, no openness to discussion, kept yelling and treated us as bothersome. Should’ve read the comments on the motel before, the appearance outside fooled us. Props to the one staff girl for staying nice although this was quite an uncomfortable and awkward situation for her. Old lady seemed nice but won’t deal with us the moment a problem arises. Definitely do not recommend and would not go back.

Although the rooms are clean, they are very old and outdated. The furniture is just a mishmash of everything, the mattress was ripped and old and the room had an old damp smell. With some TLC this place could be a wonderful place to stay, but in its current condition it is definitely somewhere I wouldn’t stay again.

World class facility with an amazing staff. These people are so friendly and helpful. I just felt like I’m at my home. Super comfy rooms and bed. And yes a super tasty hot breakfast included in the room rental. What else does anybody wants

The motel definitely needs a renovation. The room smells musty, probably due to the old carpet. The paint on the door is chipped. The wooden furniture looks like pieces from second hand store. Need to turn on the air con to get rid of the smell. But the air con is so noisy that keeps me awake at night.With all the negative points, the inclusive breakfast is comparatively fine.

Clean rooms and clean motel. Best service. Location is the best. Quiet. We will visit again

The reception by the owner was very friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable with all.our basic needs. We were impressed with having access to Netflix and Tubi also. The Free Continental Breakfast was an added bonus. We would recommend staying!

Super cute externally. Rooms were fine. Could probably use a bit of renovation in one of the buildings we stayed in, felt a little used I guess. Staff were friendly and helpful. They let us leave our car in their lot during our bike tour of the Cabot trail. We stayed there the first night and then two more nights after we finished.Location is great! Walking distance from the town which is super cute.
