Cottage was ok we thought it would be closer to beach. Too far from amenities for us.
A week stay here would be good then the fridge could be stocked.
The cottage was clean with good amenities. Had a beautiful view of the ocean. Great staff, all very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely return.
This motel did what it says on the tin. The room was clean but small and basic. The sea view, however, was stunning and the lady at check-in was very welcoming.

Close to highway.
Uncomfortable bed. Unpleasant smell from all the sea weeds just across the hotel. Room was very small.

Beautiful setting, rooms definitely need updating. The floors in our room were very uneven and it felt like I was going to fall. Small kitchen with just enough pans, dishes etc. to make a meal. It was Ok for 2 nights, not sure about a longer stay.
Great location near the water and close to restaurants and convenient stores.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The location is decent — quite convenient to get around. However, for the price, I expected a bit more. The facilities feel a bit dated and not really worth the high cost. Overall, it’s okay, but there are better value options nearby.
Wonderful location to tour the Cabot
Trail. Nice cottage with views. Staff was super helpful. We had a few issues when we checked in (a lightbulb out and commode not flushing fully) and they fixed them right away. It’s not luxury but very functional and comfortable bed.

Accommodations were small and furniture worn and outdated.
It was quiet though which was nice.
We had family staying at other locations in the area so we were mainly there just to sleep. You cant go wrong with the Ingonish area for adventures,either with hiking, beaching, kayaking/canoeing, whale watching or just enjoying the scenery. Seabreeze has easy access to all those amenities and our motel room had eveeything we needed
Bed was super comfortable and view was great. Easy access to different areas we wanted to visit in the highlands. Very comfortable outside seating for coffee and reading.
We selected one of the motel rooms instead of the cottages. The room was very small. The air conditioner was a portable unit which took up a good bit of floor space. The view of the water would have been great except 4 trucks parked overnight on the opposite side of the road blocking the view. Not completely sure but we believe some of the truck drivers slept in their trucks. The motel units were very close to the road so there was a good bit of road noise. That would have been distracting except you couldn't hear it because of the noisy AC unit in the room!!
