Auld Farm Inn BB

Baddeck Bay

Auld Farm Inn B and B was the perfect place for a five night stay during Celtic Colours. Our room was clean and comfortable. Jan and Glen are great hosts, always willing to chat, share local stories and give us helpful tips about local music and sites to visit. We started every day with a substantial and tasty breakfast, including choices of pastries, cereal, fresh fruit, and yogurt followed by a hot breakfast. One of our favourites was the Overnight French Toast served with maple syrup!  (recipe on their website). The staff were friendly and courteous, making sure we had fresh towels as needed. A home away from home, we highly recommend this lovely place. 

A gem in the heart of Cape Breton. 

The AuldFarm Inn was a super friendly and comfortable place to stay. The place was been very clean very friendly and very comfy. The place had the old farm house comfort and feel to it that it makes you want to stay for days. 
Jan and Glen are definitely super hosts. The food was excellent. They work so well together. Jan was very helpful and as far as I’m concerned, she went above and beyond what was expected of any B&B host. She made sure we had a way to the Celtic colours festival that we wanted to take in that night, she told us about the shuttle for our return to the Inn so we didn’t have to take our vehicle. Great idea!
I can’t say enough about Glen and Jan and their place. I wish I could’ve stayed there for a week. 
Ps. Shout out to Casey for being such a cute and loveable doggy host. 
Definitely recommend !!

One of the best B&Bs we’ve ever stayed in

This B & B is actually 7 km out of Baddeck on Rte 205. It is nonetheless well situated for anyone wishing to do the Cabot Trail and visit the immediate area. The house itself is about 150 feet from the road and was very quiet at night.

The inn offers several comfortable rooms. Ours was probably the simplest with a nice Queen bed, dresser and rocking chair. Two fluffy bathrobes were available since our bathroom (reserved to our only usage) was across the hall. There were plenty of towels and good quality toiletries. To be noted the little binder of practical information that describes even the quality of their water! No t.v. in the room but one available to all guests downstairs. The wi-fi worked well most of the time (it did cut once during our 2-day stay but then the inn is in the country). Breakfast was very nice with a selection bread, muffins, scones. We were also offered pancakes one morning, the bacon & egg plate the next one. Fresh fruit salad and yogurt were also available. 

Overall a very pleasant stay. The owners were charming and very helpful. It was nice to meet other fellow travelers. 


Very pleasant stay

Make a list of the 10 greatest bed and breakfasts in the world, and Auld would top the list. Incredible setting, on a farm near the small town of Bedeck, Nova Scotia, really, really nice, welcoming couple, Jan and Glen, and terrific food in the morning. Cape Breton is a musical island, and the B&B is all about music, both in decorations and in a hanging mandolin and violin. If you ask Jan nicely, she just might play a traditional jig for you on the guitar. 

The best of the best

Staying at a B&B is always a bit of a gamble. Will the furniture be rickety and shabby? Will we overdose on chintz and frills and bad art? Will we vibe with the host and other guests? What about the bathroom? Etc. etc...I'm generally willing to make the gamble, my husband is generally more reluctant.

So I'm thrilled to report that we both loved our stay here - it was, in fact, a highlight of our trip. The home is beautiful, and beautifully furnished; the decoration skews minimalist, with a few personal/quirky touches (love the chicken collection); amenities are thoughtful, even luxurious (plush robes to cross the hall to our private-but-not-ensuite bathroom, local goatsmilk soap); breakfasts are delicious; and the hosts are helpful and charming. Our only regret is that we had just one night. I could see this being a fantastic base from which to explore Cape Breton. 

Many thanks to Jan for getting us in to the Baddeck Gathering, which we enjoyed immensely. 

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting

Very nice B&B! Two extremely nice guests, who are pro's of hospitality. Thank you Jan and Glen. Good lunch (note: hot lunch is not an option). Tea available all day in the dining room, I enjoyed it. We were in a newer room with access from the outside. Room simply decorated, but well furnished and very clean. Lots of room to drop luggage. A few nice and thoughtful little attention, especially in the bathroom. Outside the city, you have to take the car to go to dinner, but this is in minutes. The only price was with wifi, but we have been without regulation.

It was a great stay.

The owners are Glen and Jan. They have a dog named KC. The lock on the door is a German styled lock. The key is custom made and there's only one key for each room. If lost, they need to go to Germany to get another one.

You cannot cook here. There's no microwave.

7:30 - 9 am free breakfast. Tea, coffee and a jar of cookies are in the dining room. Milk and water bottles are in the fridge. The hot water tank is always on. We're in Room 4. They have an information pack binder filled with history of the farm, how to connect to the internet, when breakfast is, dietary requirements, refreshments, local dining, the map of the building, fire safety, wildlife safety, general information about the inn, local information, and map of Baddeck.

It's the 25th anniversary of the business. So, they gave us 3 choices of a wine to take. You can only get one. The farm is 150 years old.

The room is clean and spacious. There are 2 double beds. There's a small closet. 2 large windows. There's 2 small dressers, a night stand, and 2 chairs (normal and rocking chair). The bathroom is small. Doesn't have a bath, had a shower instead. There's a fan. No AC. 

If you're carrying food with you, you can eat it in the dining room. 

Got some pretty good sleep on the beds.

For breakfast, Glen serves you the food. Fruit salad, yogurt and juice is served first. There's muffin, scones, toast and cereal. The hot food changes from time to time. This time it's bacon, scrambled eggs and cherry tomatoes. 

We enjoyed our stay here. Well, they're rated as the number one hotel in Baddeck on Trip Advisor.

Nice Repurposed Farm, Cute Dog, Got A Good Night's Rest 

this has to be one of the best b and bs we have ever stayed in the hosts were super friendly and helpful really made to feel at home . the rooms and all over was absolutely spotless and the grounds were amazing close to the small town and eateries. our breakfasts were delicious everything was perfect would highly recommend auld farm inn. they also have the most beautiful golden doodle dog kc would have packed her in my suitcase if i’d have got away with it! 🤣

best place ever

Very friendly hosts. Nice and quiet and clean room and bathroom. Nice farm scenery.  Delicious fresh cooked breakfast! A definite recommended place to spend the night! Will definitely go again if possible. 

Best BB I've been to!

Lovely hosts, beautiful accommodations, great breakfasts, convenient location.....who could ask for more?  The Auld Farm Inn B & B is the perfect getaway for exploring Cape Breton. It is close enough to "downtown" Baddeck but far out in the country enough to enjoy the birds and wildlife. Jan and Glenn are fun hosts and great resources to learn about the area.
