We spent three nights at Clayton Farm B&B during Cape Breton Island's Celtic Colours Internation Festival. Loved the evening of entertainment (Troy, Allan, and Cheryl) at the Red Shoe Pub, as well as concerts at Strathspey Place (just across the road from the farm) and the Academy in Inverness. During the day, we drove all the roads in the area,... More

We stayed here in September 2012 and had a wonderful experience. It is an 1835 farm house decorated with antique furniture. It is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The owner and staff are very friendly and do their best to make you feel at home and it is very reasonably priced. Bruce & Ellen T.

We found the company of Isaac and Kathy to be warm and welcoming. They had great information about local activities (The Red Shoe Pub just minutes away on Monday nights for spontaneous fiddle music and excellent food; the hiking trails just a bit further for spectacular views). We enjoyed having the opportunity to chat for awhile, and then also retreat... More

This was my third stay at Clayton Farm B&B over a ten year period. Like so many, I travel to Cape Breton Island for the music, the dancing and to meet the wonderful people who are fortunate enough to call it their home.And should you choose to stay at Clayton Farm, it is possible, for a brief time, to imagine...

Travelling around on Cape Breton Island I had actually just stopped in Mabou for lunch at the Red Shoes Pub. Well, to cut a long story short: Only god knows why, but at night time I was walking through the Pubs door the third time … and I met somebody there whose name is Isaac! … A really open-minded, positive,...

We were looking for a quiet unique farm B&B experience, and we certainly got it! Loved the old house, the cows and the setting. Yes, Isaac was out at night, but he told us what to expect and I love how "open doors" and casual it was (I'm glad he has a life!). loved our blue room, and the shared... More

We booked this b and b after reading other glowing reviews. We arrived about 5pm to an empty house. After looking around we spotted a note taped to a window saying that the owner was away, but would return the next morning. Our key was left on the kitchen table and the note also instructed anyone else that might arrive... More

Clayton Farm's proprietor, Isaac Smith, is an unassuming, charming, self-effacing farmer who was born just a couple miles away from the farm that he and his wife turned into a BnB decades ago. The farm has been in his family five generations, and the BnB reflects that history in the random sepia photos of his relations, the great old books... More

My husband & I and our friend stayed at Clayton Farms which was our first experience staying at a farm B & B. We enjoyed it immensely. The farm house is like a living museum full of interesting antiques beautifully laid out. Isaac is a warm man who has many stories to tell of his family's history. His red Angus... More

I've never stayed on a farm B & B before, and it was a fun experience. Everything stated in the other reviews is true--our friendly host Isaac was very interesting to talk to and we loved wandering around the farm, looking at all the cattle and playing with the cats. The accommodations were very nice--a very large and clean room,... More
