I knew when I walked into our room (themed At The Beach) that I was going to love it here. Marmalade Motel is bright, cozy, and modern. Every room has a balcony with two chairs and an oceanfront view. When I made my reservation, I ordered the Brunch Board for Two to be delivered on the first day of our stay which included coffee, orange juice, croissants, muffins, fruit, yogurt, cheese, and hard boiled eggs. Because there was a mini fridge we were able to hang on to some of this for later munchies. There is also a Keurig machine for coffee or tea at your leisure. There is a hot tub on the side of the motel - make a reservation in the guest portal for the time you prefer. I met one of the owners and she was so attentive and nice. All this plus a reasonable price and a chance to watch Corner Gas with a view of the Atlantic Ocean (we saw seals!). A plus, 5 stars, can't wait to stay here again if I get the chance.

Very pretty to look at, not entirely practical for a multi day stay, as there's no place to put any of your own stuff: - no place for clothes; no drawers or hangers - no spot for cosmetic bag or shaving kit in the bathroom - no a/c - no Do not disturb signs so housekeeping knocked at the door each morning 9am Beautiful room though, w luxurious linens, a coffee bar, small fridge (but no microwave). Wonderful peaceful water view and nice grounds, with private balcony and common area firepit and lounge area. Great for an overnight stay only but for another multi-day stay, I'd choose another place. A local booked this room on our behalf and understands why we'd not stay again.

We arrive at The Marmalade Motel via the magnificent road between Baddeck and Port Dufferin. OMG, the place is incredible. We park in front of our little house #1. There's a swing in front of the door. We open the door and discover a fresh, beautiful, clean room. Everything is cozy. And the sea view is magical. The Atlantic Ocean for a balcony. The wild side of Nova Scotia. At that time we planned to eat something and we needed a microwave to reheat the food we bring. Neil the owner brought it to us in a few minutes. We also had a delivered breakfast with delicious home made muffins. Everything is perfect. It's a little « palace » almost in the middle of nowhere. We loved it. This little motel is magical. Neil and Cheryl also have a cafe run by their daughters where we ordered soup and sandwiches for the road. We had a great time in an amazing little place called The Marmalade. 20/20 Envoyé de mon iPad

The Marmalade Motel was the last stop, and the best stop, in my 7-day drive from Victoria, BC to Sheet Harbour, NS. The rooms are very clean and eloquently decorated, the waterfront views and sunset are spectacular, and the bed is cozy and warm. The best rest I have had in a week. Highly recommended!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Marmalade Motel. It is a perfect stopping place to explore the numerous beaches on the Eastern Shore. Be sure to take advantage of their picnic, breakfast or charcuterie offerings! Would definitely recommend.

Room was very clean with a beautiful view. Sauna was a great treat. It is good place if you want to be away in a peaceful place. Near town is 15 m drive,

Fun place!
What a cute old motel with a new modern flair. VERY clean. (and I am very picky!!!!) The view was gorgeous! Nice big windows in the front and back of the room. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were very soft. We only had one wash cloth and one makeup wash cloth in the room but they brought more to us. The bathroom door was quite squeaky and we brought that to the attention of housekeeping when we left. I'm guessing this will be addressed soon. The place looked like they have worked really hard to make this a nice place!! Nothing that would make me want to leave anything less than a five-star review. We stayed in the king room for one night.

We visited the Eastern shores last week on business trip and a little vacation at the same time. We enjoyed our 4 nights stay and also made some amazing discoveries. We had breakfasts in bed which was great since there are no restaurants in an immediate vicinity. We drove as far as Torbay and visited Sherbrooke village which is a must. The motel was very clean and very welcoming and had the occasion to talk to the owner Sheril on a few occasions which was great. The place was also very quiet
