The Skir Dhu Vacation Home: A Cape Breton Hotel That Feels Like Home 

Breton CoveThe Skir Dhu Vacation Home in Breton Cove is one of Cabot Shores' Lodging partners. It is a newly renovated 1830 farmhouse off the Cabot Trail that can accommodate up to 12 people. A Spacious, peaceful alternative to a more formal Cape Breton hotel, it is the perfect jump off point for your own great treasure hunt on the Cabot Trail. Sample wild blueberries in fields with eagles flying overhead; take a path to the beach smelling fresh mint in the woods; hike down to the beach and you'll find myriad shells and rocks of many colors. About 1km further south, discover sandy beaches, caves and a fresh water pond. Watch for trout at dusk. Ask for clues for treasure holes!
Return to this Hideaway and relax in a spacious living room with extended Douglas fir beams or in one of the 4 bedrooms (sleeping 8). Enjoy the cozy stoves in the dining and living rooms, and the deck opening onto beautiful meadows... Your children can go to the ball field across the Cabot Trail; all for the young of heart and body! Enjoy a day pass at sister property Cabot Shores or an evening of entertainment and great food. Then return to Breton Cove for romance or an evening with your family. Think of it as a Cape Breton Hotel for those who want to feel at home.Breton Cove Living Room

"Thanks for making our stay at Cabot Shores a memorable event. We thoroughly enjoyed the natural beauty of the surroundings, and found the view of the ocean from our chalet porch each morning and evening a great way to start and end the day. The chalet was comfortable, the meals delicious and the service absolutely superb. Our hikes and short but exhilarating swims reminded us of the special role nature plays in our lives, and the importance of preserving our environment. We complement you on your vision of helping to keep alive the history of the Native people. The Sunday night music event with both Scottish and Mi 'kmaq music and dancing was an eye and ear opening experience we will long remember.

Please give our best to the rest of the Cabot Shores crew. "
