| Overview: |
Character and curb appeal in this century old building combine to promise what one finds within. Six delightfully comfortable and attractive period rooms (named in honour of clergy who served St Bartholomew's church for which the house served as the rectory), each with either a king or queen sized bed, have been decorated and furnished to provide the traveler with a relaxing stay. Located near the harbour where a new cruise ship wharf and marina will be, the owner/manager has spared no effort to support the global reputation of this well known 4 & 1/2 star B&B. The new golf course development is only 5 minutes away, while the Fortress and beaches provide additional activities and allure.

| Comment: |
A major development in the Louisbourg area should make this business more valuable in the coming years. A German developer has hired Nick Faldo to design 2 championship golf courses with an upscale housing development built around it - total announced investment is $500,000,000. The development is only 5 minutes away.
Fortress Louisbourg is just across the harbour; a 2 minute drive away around the harbour. It is and should remain a major tourist drawing card. Also nearby is the Louisbourg Playhouse - see "Area Links" below.
From the Heritage House web site, more information on area attractions:
Louisbourg Playhouse
Our very own playhouse is a Cape Breton Island hotbed of Celtic music. Weekdays throughout the summer, "Lyrics and Laughter," an entertaining mix of comedy, singing, dance and fiddle, delights visitors and locals alike. On weekends, the music series "Soundscapes" presents renowned Island musicians who have established reputations on stages throughout the Maritimes, Canada and abroad.
S&L Railway Museum
This grouping of buildings and train cars includes a turn-of-the-century train station that today houses a visitor information center, gift shop and museum. The Sydney & Louisbourg Railway Museum provides a fascinating glimpse of the railway in its heyday and of Louisbourg's role as a major coal-shipping terminal and seaport from the late 1800s and early 1900s through to the 1950s.
Simon Point Nature Trail
A "natural beauty," this stunning stretch of coastline is located about a mile beyond the Fortress, on the way to Kennington Cove. The British fleet anchored nearby this location prior to the sieges of Louisbourg. As compared to the lighthouse shore's high rock faces, the shoreline here is equally scenic but very different, having stretches of rolling grey-blue beach rocks and driftwood. |

Based on London’s 1599 Globe Theatre, the open-air playhouse was constructed at the Fortress of Louisbourg by Walt Disney Studios for the motion picture Squanto: A Warrior's Tale. After filming wrapped up, the structure was donated to Louisbourg and relocated to our site just off the main street of the Town.
