Hillcrest Hall Country Inn  

On Cape Breton’s shore in Port Hood — the town billed as the “Beach Capital of Cape Breton.” Steps from boardwalks and summer festivals, the inn sits within easy walking distance of the town centre and about a 19-minute stroll to Sunset Beach. Perfect for family-friendly beach escapes and sunset-chasing.

Housed in a restored 1910 mansion, Hillcrest Hall Country Inn mixes historic charm with modern comforts. There are 11 tastefully decorated rooms and suites, many with harbour or sea views, all with private modern 4-piece ensuite baths, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and in-room coffee makers. The property features a terrace and garden. Note: no elevator — second and third floor rooms are not wheelchair accessible.

Complimentary high-speed Wi‑Fi, free on-site parking, family rooms and free toiletries. Wake up to panoramic harbour views and sea-breeze mornings. On-property terrace and garden invite quiet mornings; laundry service is available for longer stays.

Reliable high-speed internet throughout the inn and free parking for drive-in guests.

A hot buffet breakfast is included each morning, with buffet, continental and gluten-free options. The inn also has an on-site restaurant for easy meals before heading out to explore.
