The top of Cape Breton Island welcomes you with friendly staff, charming cottages and delicious, locally sourced cuisine!

Greetings to you all! Thank you for a wonderful season full of Cape Breton splendour. We look forward to opening our doors again towards the end of May 2023. For those looking for accommodation during the winter and spring, our spacious & comfortable house, the Piping Plover, is available. For more information, check out this website - it's the perfect location for a winter wonderland.

The Markland is located on over 60 acres on the most northern tip of Cape Breton Island with self-contained cottages situated at a comfortable distance from each other. Most of our cabins have fully equipped kitchenettes for those who wish to cook their own meals and enjoy the ocean views from their cabins. Our aim is to make you comfortable and safe while you relax on the ocean's edge keeping the physical distance that we've all become accustomed to.

Guests have access to our kilometer long beach and sandy shore, a simply breathtaking stretch of unspoiled and pristine ocean front.   Nature truly comes alive here where the mountains touch the sea.  These inviting surroundings will replenish and nourish your soul at a time when we all need to get outdoors and simply be.

THE WORLD RENOWNED CABOT TRAIL

The Markland is just minutes away from the world renowned CABOT TRAIL, named by Lonely Planet as one of the best road trips in the world.  Cyclists, hikers and bikers can enjoy the invigorating landscape and find an enchanting place to rest at the Markland.  With accommodating cottages, fine food, hospitality and the sounds of the ocean at your window... you'll find it a perfect completion to your Cabot Trail journey!
