Music & Culture

If you come to Cape Breton, you need to understand the word Ceilidh. First off, it’s pronounced Kay-lee, and it’s a social event featuring Scottish or Irish folk music. Cape Breton is famous for them. And at Cabot Shores, we’ve been known to whoop it up with the best of them. Our instruments are always ready for an impromptu jam session, and our stage has featured many award-winning musicians from all over. Consider this your invitation to join us.

"We Can't Wait to Come Back"

Between guided morning meditation, great coffee and breakfast, private hot tubs overlooking the Atlantic, recommendations for stunning local hikes from Barbara, the location and the view, we couldn't have imagined a better experience in Cape Breton.

"Improv Jam Sessions"

The grounds are beautiful. I was in a tent during my stay, our campsite was right beside a Brook. In the lodge area there was a stage with lots of instruments, and a few improv jam sessions took place
