The house was very clean and had all the amenities we enjoy. We were able to use the fire pit and outdoor hot tub. The hosts were easily accessible and responsive. My kids enjoyed running around the spacious back yard and it was the perfect location.

We really enjoyed our time at Hens & Honey, River Tillard. Ashley, our host., could not have been more responsive and accommodating. The house was very well appointed --the hot tub, the barbecue grill, the outdoor seating and fire pit, were all great. An added plus: we bought live lobsters and Ashley and Matt supplied a butane burner, and lobster pot, and sea water for boiling. All in all, it was GREAT!

Girls getaway

4 nurses (some retired), getting away to relax. We loved the location. Hot tub was great. Had everything we needed. Stairs were slippery so a non slip product would be great. We had a great time

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Dempsey

Host profile image
We own and operate Hens & Honey Farm and Farmhouse on beautiful Cape Breton Island. We have a few different farm animals you never know what you might see depending on the season. We have free ranging chickens and Nigerian dwarf goats all year long as well as our most popular honey bees. We acquired the 200 year old homestead across the road from our farm and decided to share it with you all.
When you stay with us at the Farmhouse you are welcome to experience some of the things our farm has to offer. You'll receive complementary farm fresh eggs, our handcrafted all natural soap and even some of our amazing raw honey to enjoy. (The eggs and honey depend on the season).
