We stayed here at the Groundswell for 5 days in July. The rooms were very spacious, clean, quiet and picturesque. Outside our room window we could see the beautiful landscape including the ocean and boats. It’s a great location with a good restaurant with weekly live music on site. Overall, the Groundswell provides the quintessential East Coast hospitality. Everyone was so friendly especially the owners Matt and Coleen. This is a must stay location.

The setting for this darling Inn is as beautiful as the picture shows. It's right on the water, and my ground floor room was quaint but well-renovated and the views were spectacular. The innkeeper couple that run this place are incredibly nice people, and the food is great!

We ate at the restaurant, outside on the deck, at sunset. It was a beautiful evening and the food was delicious and our server was great! We had the best crab dip ever! And our pasta entrées were incredibly luscious! This was one of the last dinners of our vacation and it was a great way to end our stay in Canada!

Fantastic place to stay. A little off the beaten path, if you are looking for city, stay in the city. This would be top on my list as a gen x'r. I have no doubt the music hops in there. The room was tastefully decorated and clean with a view like no other. The host opened up the dining room even thou it was their night off. Hospitality at its finest. To finish, the owner makes the best damn ceasar I have had yet!

Great two night stay, an ideal stopover on way up to or down from Cape Breton Highland National Park. Very peaceful. Right when we entered our room (Penny Lane) we were struck by how clean and comfortable it felt. Matt is attentive, responsive, and approachable. We ate at the pub both evenings—Colleen is a great cook, the pub has such a great atmosphere. We brought breakfast with us and they were kind enough to lend us bowls, and it was great having coffee in the hall. Our son loved the playground, and we enjoyed just relaxing and looking at boats and water. Next stop we will for sure go kayaking or canoeing; this time it was too windy for us. But either way we will make it a stopover on our future Maritime Islands trip

Wonderful place! Our hosts went above and beyond to make us feel special. We arrived on a Monday which is typically a closed day for the pub/food. Matt promptly said “we’re feeding you! We have everything available on the menu. Colleen’s cooking is a treat and filled with local seafood.Love the music theme! Nancy & Alan Woods

I’ve had the experience of a few meals at the Groundswell as of late. Each meal we tried was absolutely delicious. We dined on the patio and it had the most relaxing atmosphere and beautiful views of the bay and yachts moored just within view. It’s a young family owned pub and inn and the owners are very hands on and attentive acting as the servers, bartender and cook with a few employees to help out. They really want you to have a great experience at their establishment and that is very evident from the moment you walk in. What a gem of a business on our small island!
