We offer chalets and log cabins with King or Queen beds, sofabeds, 4-pc bath, Wi-Fi, living room, microwave.
We also have a fabulous restaurant on site that features some of the best seafood and homemade pies in Cape Breton. A continental breakfast is included with your stay, and barbecues are available for your use.

Friendly staff, comfortable cabins and a stunning location – the Markland Coastal Beach Cottages is perfect for families, reunions, or romantic getaways.
