The property and location were both excellent. The staff were also very friendly. The bar & restaurant in the evening were well staffed and the food was good. We also had live entertainment and he was very good. The location near to the beach was superb and we enjoyed the morning walk at the beach. The only negative was the breakfast. The choice was poor, the only hot food was tinned sausage and powdered scrambled egg, these were in short supply and we had to be quick of the mark as the sausages arrived in batches of 6. We were a party of 5. The hot water urn was tepid at best. The breakfast was not value for money.

nice place BUT

We do like staying at the Glengorm we have stayed there a few times before over the years and really enjoyed the resort, but the room they sold us this time was not worth the money (way ovepriced). and the reason that I say this because the room had a bad smell the TV wouldnt work I tried every way I could think off but we didnt go there to watch TV so it wasnt a big deal and there was no micowave in the room also the other times we stayed there breakfast was inclued so overall we were disappointed

Nice beach. Great friendly staff. Suite was comfortable. Fairly well located to tour Cabot Trail over multiple days. Run down yard compared to the photos - no volleyball, could use some chairs or more benches closer to the beach. Jacuzzi tub didn’t work. Billiards are in the basement in a room next to the bar. Restaurant on site was average. Have to ask at reception for clean towels, more coffee, etc if staying more than one night.

We stayed right near the water, we had a beautiful view. We had a beautiful view of a full moon from our bed. We really enjoyed where we stayed. The sound of the ocean was lovely but very loud. There was no AC in the room so windows were open all night for a breeze. Our toilet was on an angle and not bolted down. Very dangerous. Lady at the front desk for check-in was clueless. The continental breaky was actually $15 each. She didnt know what cabin we were staying in. She said they provide firewood, we didnt get any as apparently there was none left. We went for supper there for the lobster, they didnt have any lobsters. Although a beautiful spot, was not worth $330.

Property was decent. The area was not within walking distance of any restaurant's but it was all a quick drive. The laundromat was handy to wash our beach towels. Room was basic but good enough for the night.
