I rarely give so high rates but this place will stay forever in my heart. It's a walking distance from the lake and city center, offer a beautiful view from a terrace that's there for all customers, you have a flat for yourself and Willie and Gina are so welcoming and so full of advice that will make your trip,...

If you are expecting 5 star accommodations I suggest you look elsewhere, but for those of you who just want a clean comfortable place to stay for a reasonable price, this is the spot! Great location right on the edge of town but still within walking distance to the downtown area. There is an empty lot behind the property, so... More

Willie and Gina made us feel welcome from the minute we arrived. Willie (Scottish) was such an interesting storyteller and bent over backwards to advise us about directions to the Cabot Trail and where to eat in town. We became instant friends and hugged warmly when we left. The Worn Doorstep has a nice upstairs patio that we used for... More

Two years ago, we had planned to go to the East coast and I had checked out The Worn Doorstep at that time. We never did go then but when we decided this was the year we were going, I immediately reserved a room for 3 nights. We were not disappointed. Both Gina and Willie are fabulous and made our... More

Thank you for the wonderful stay. My husband and I stayed in the street level unit, and we found it perfect for our 2 night stay. The location is an easy walk to the 'downtown", convenience store and the famous Baddeck lobster suppers. We had on our trip my brother, his wife ( who challenged us to WOW her) and... More

My husband and I stayed @ The Worn Doorstep in Aug 2012 and I cannot say enough good things about Willie & Gina and the accommodation.

This was one of the nicest welcomes we ever received on all of our travels. Gina and Willie seemed genuinely pleased to see us. After a bit of a chat Willie showed us to our rooms and we were really impressed. Our friend stayed in unit 1 on street level. This is a huge room which has been adapted to... More

We booked our stay here almost by accident and wish we weren't staying just for the night. Gina and Willie have created a truly comfortable and luxurious stay for all travelers. Multi-level deck overlooking the Bras D'Or Lake is breathtaking and you'll fall soundly asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow in the lovely suite. Thank you so... More

We stayed at The Worn Doorstep for 3 nights. Rooms are well-furnished, comfortable and airy, spacious and fully equipped for self-catering - nothing is missing. We had two rooms opening onto a verandah with tables and chairs and the sunset was thrown in for free. Baddeck is small and you can walk everywhere from the Worn Doorstep. Willi and Gina... More

What can I say that hasn't already been said? My 84 yr old mother, my sister and I visited the Worn Doorstep for 5 nights last week. Willie and Gina were the most helpful, gracious hosts and we enjoyed a suite with 2 beds, a living room and small kitchen. It was perfect for us as a base for exploring... More
