About

It’s not just a stay – it’s an experience!
Immerse yourself in Groovy Goat’s authentic farm experience by booking one of our three brand-new hotel rooms right on the farm. Situated above a bustling soap and gelato shop in the heart of Ingonish, our rooms are perfect for couples and families who want an action-packed stay and a behind-the-scenes look at life on our small family farm.
There are many perks to staying right on the property! Imagine this – waking up with the roosters and meeting the farm owners out in the barn for morning routine to get hands-on experience feeding, milking and caring for our animals. Not your thing? Not a problem! Skip out on the morning chores and sleep in; while you are our guest, our farm and barn are yours for exploring any time of the day! 
After your morning goat fix, mosey on over to Salty Roses and the Periwinkle Café (conveniently located right next door) for a fresh, local breakfast and coffee before starting your day of exploring beautiful Ingonish. Take the 5-minute walk down to the Point beach, a sandy beach popular with locals for swimming and sunbathing, or even try your hand at fishing off the adjacent wharf! Make a stop at the popular Seagull Restaurant on your way home for lunch, then head back to the farm for some fresh, handcrafted gelato on us for dessert (one free gelato per overnight guest per stay!) Don’t forget to check out our soap and gelato production viewing windows and chat with a staff member to learn all about how our products are handmade right on sight. 
Unwind in your newly constructed room in the evening with some complimentary Groovy Goat bath and body products, or enjoy our communal firepit with a great view of the goats!
The Costelo Family LOVES living and farming in beautiful Ingonish and are happy to help you plan your stay by sharing local tips and must-sees with you! We look forward to welcoming you for a unique farm stay experience you’ll never forget!
