Brilliant old house, in great condition. The yrd wants some love though. I'd be happy to rebuild the stone walls.

After 32 years since my last visit, I was saddened to find that the bustling daily life and historical scenes of my past recollected experience were no longer present (lots of costumed interpreters, horses and carts, auctions, active village programs throughout the day, period meals served in the food purveyor spaces). The life and character of this historical fortress apparently died a COVID death as very few individuals were around to bring to life the settlement in its heyday. Barely any animals to be seen and lots of closed buildings. Our highlight was the bakery and buying fresh bread. Unfortunately a disappointment but hopefully some federal funding can inject new life into this excellent site in the near future.

The Fortress is an amazing Canadian landmark accomplishment,...
The Fortress is an amazing Canadian landmark accomplishment, a historical treasurer! We took 2 tours, the first was a Solider in period dress who shared his life story, and actually shot his rifle to demonstrate. He then escorted us to one of the homes, where we were met by a woman in period dress who shared life in the household and the history of homemade hot chocolate which she had prepared for us. We also booked a private tour; our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the history of the Louisbourg fortress! Every building we entered had amazing people in period dress, sharing stories of life at that time...this experience is where history truly comes to life. Thank you Canada!

Louisburg is an amazing town with an incredibly rich history. The Heritage House reflects that beautifully with its rooms and hallways and dining areas that reflect our history. The breakfasts were just amazing and in a wonderful setting. We could walk anywhere in the town and easily access delicious food, drinks and beautiful scenery.

We had a great time visiting the Fortress of Louisbourg and exploring some country roads in the area. Staff at the Fortress was very welcoming. It was a great experience learning about what life was like back in the 1700s

As a history lover, the fortress is fascinating.
As a history lover, the fortress is fascinating. The experience is scaled down a bit due to COVID-19 restrictions but still enjoyable seeing the site and interacting with the friendly and knowledgeable costumed guides.
I'm happy there are still budget alternatives where you can stay in a clean, comfortable room and not break the bank. The Fortress Inn was very nice - there are some renovations ongoing, but nothing to interfere with a pleasant stay. Friendly, helpful staff and a good room. Louisburg is a quiet - Covid may have caused some businesses to close - but it's worth staying overnight. The fortress is fascinating and there are good walks and beaches nearby.
Upon our arrival, we found the front door of the house unlocked and the key to our room on the front desk with a note from our host that they could unfortunately not greet us in person - so a very uncomplicated way of checking in. There was also a recommendation on that same note for a restaurant next door that we followed and it was a good choice!
Breakfast was exceptional with "specials" added each day-once eggs benedict, another morning quiche. David was the absolute best, welcoming, making everything easy. The room was lovely. Location couldn't be better for a visit to the Fortress at Louisbourg. Dinner restaurants in town were very good too.
We had a great stay! Only a couple of minutes from Fortress Louisbourg. Excellent food for the dinner menu - we had Beef Bourgogne and Lobster Mac'n'Cheese - we loved them. The dinner building (The Bothy) also has a nice area to relax with a drink and it sometimes has music. We'll be back.
The cabins were perfect, quaint, and well equipped. Within walking distance of town , a short drive to both the fort and the light house.
The Spoondrift cafe in town was superb.Best scallops ever. There was a small babbling brook at the back of our cabin and the sound was so soothing.
Cranberry Cove Inn was absolutely beautiful, spectacular host, and the homemade breakfast prepared was out of this world. This is the place to stay overnight if visiting the Fortress of Louisbourg, Cape Breton. You will not be disappointed.
Charming restored heritage home with comfortable rooms, period finishes, updated bathrooms and great location. Appreciated self check-in. Excellent breakfast, and they were able to accommodate a gluten-free request with ease.
Perfect location before our visit to fortress of louisbourg. Owner was easy to reach when we were running late, very helpful. Accommodation was very clean with everything one could possibly need. Thanks for a great stay!
Awesome location close to the fortress. Unique character house with spacious room and exterior door without having to go through the rest of the house!
