St. Ann’s Motel was a wonderful stay! Owner Vince was warm, friendly, and gave us excellent travel and food recommendations. The location at the start of the Cabot Trail is perfect, and the Atlantic Ocean views from our room were absolutely stunning. Rooms were clean and comfortable, we’d love to come back!

Vince was very accommodating when we arrived later than expected, and he took the time to recommend must-see stops and eateries along the trail. The room décor is dated, but it has the cozy feel of a sleepover at Grandma’s house. Everything was clean and quiet, and the views made for a truly pleasant stay.

Beautiful scenery, clean room with a comfortable bed. Owners are friendly and helpful. Didn't like that we had limits on towels and face cloths ( use 2, trade back for 2 more each day). Overall good value for money spent.

Many accommodations advertise "lake views" but this one really got them. Just incredible. Also the hosts went out of their way to make my stay pleasant [I'd give them 6 stars]. One of the best experiences I had in a long time. And all that at an affordable rate. Definitely recommend.
