The Lakes at Ben Eoin Golf Club & Resort

Staff was very friendly and courteous. The course was in great shape and lots of challenges. Highly recommend this track to anyone and skill of all levels.

Good place for a one night stop on the way to the ferry. Spacious rooms, decent food, nice views. Would stay again.

We attended the Songwriters Circle and the music was excellent, the layout of the venue was terrible.
A large portion of the crowd was there to socialize while not paying attention to the music and discussion. The placement of the seating area beside the serving area, where the socializing took place, disrupted any reasonable enjoyment of the event.
If this layout of used for this type of event I will not be returning to the Lakes.

Nice large and clean room.
No fridge.
Service does not exist. Check in in the pro shop, semi-professionell receptionist.
Maid service only per request but they did not inform us ahead. Even garbage hasn't been collected.
The place is in the middle of nowhere. The restaurant serves pimped up pub food.

We started out in room 105. The shower check proved that it wasn't working. It is not a simple pull-down to start as detailed in the book. The front desk tried, and it still wasn't working, so we got upgraded for free to a chalet. Much appreciated.

We stayed at a Chalet at the Lakes at Ben Eoin and they were great! The room is basically a small condo with two bedrooms, full kitchen and dining area and a living room. Upon arrival the room was cool (A/C on) and very clean.

The location is perfect if you're looking to relax or have a car. If you're without a car, it can be a bit limiting as you're essentially on the side of the highway and about 30+ minutes from Sydney, NS. The restaurant on the golf course is great and the chowder is exceptional.

Overall, the staff were friendly, the beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The only criticism we'd have is the spiders are a bit out of control. Yes, they're to be expected with the proximity to the lake and general moisture, but the front chalet light stays on non-stop which attracts them to the entrance - so keep your eyes open when entering or you're likely to walk through a web.

We booked two nights in a chalet here as one of our stops touring NS on our motorcycle. The chalet was clean and spacious with a full kitchen. However the patio for you room looks over a parking lot. It's literally a motel with two bedroom rooms. The restaurant is mediocre at best. I plan motorcycle trips. Don't stop here.

Good golf course with elevation changes. Walked the course for thee rounds and it was a bit of a challenge as a few holes have a steep climb to the tee boxes but certainly walkable.
Stayed in the cottages they are very nice, clean modern rooms with enough room for 4.
Stayed in the lodge for the final four nights and was not impressed.
Service is lacking and rooms are dated. Housekeeping doesn't refresh your room which was a bit of a disappointment.
