Our stay in the Spruce's Aurora cottage was perfect, though close to the road, it was very quiet. Comfy bed, every thing was clean, and a good place to prepare meals. The location was great for exploring Cape Breton's eastern coast

Check in was effortless as the cottage was unlocked with our key on the table. Great bed! We had bought instant coffee, but our hosts left us ground coffee on the porch table. All in all a good stay.

This cottage is so cute and had everything we needed! The hosts communicated so well, and we love their ethos of working with local artists, artisans and food suppliers in their gift shop and coffee shop/cafe that is right next door. It was a perfect location for hiking in Cape Breton National Park. There is a small grocery store nearby, restaurants, etc., and Ingonish is charming. We would definitely go back.

Perfect spot

The cottage was exactly as described and very, very clean and cute :) The bed was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. All communications with the hosts were promptly answered. The location was great - a few minutes from trails and beaches. Would definitely go back!

Aurora

Overall, it was an ok stay. There were a few necessities that were missing and some miscommunication on a fire pit being onsite, which affected the quality of our stay unfortunately. Lovely view, short distant to cafes was the perk.

Cute Aurora cottage

The cottage has been nicely renovated. It is cute and well-furnished. The only drawback is that there is no couch or armchair. You have to sit on the kitchen chairs or the bed. Given this situation, cushions on the kitchen chairs would be appreciated by the guests. But all in all, it is a good rental, cute, with amenities and well situated.
