Duck Cove Inn

Duck Cove Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at the morel for 2 nights. Its location made access to the Margaree Valley to the south and Cheticamp to the north optimal. While it was a bit aged, the motel was well maintained and kept very clean and functional. The bathroom was newly renovated. Everything functioned properly. The staffs were excellent. Check in was very quick and the instructions were absolutely clear. She also offered to lend us a kettle which to us was absolutely essential. The guy owner also ran the motel restaurant, which while it only served breakfast, the varieties on the breakfast menu and the service to the table were great, plus the morning view overlooking the Margaree River was also pleasant. The service was not the fastest, for he was a one man band. He was very friendly though and brought up a good conversation. Positive experience overall."
