Design about Cape Breton: Highland Heights Inn and Jill’s Chocolate. Over the Victoria long weekend here in Canada we got to take a drive to the Village of Iona and stop in at the pub at the Highland Heights Inn. Added bonus was visiting Jill’s Chocolate Cafe! It’s always great to find unexpected design when your travelling. Honestly if the place looks uninspiring I usually will head right back out, even if the food is awesome. Here’s the thing design can and will impact our experience and lift you up! It may be subtle but design really does add to the flavour and ambiance of a space. Loved walking into the Frolic’n Folk Pub and being greeted by this wonderfully old stone fireplace. You can just imagine a fire lit, beer in hand and local music playing in the background. If you get a chance to visit I hope you do. And there’s chocolate next door…need I say more.
The Highland Heights Inn is located in central Cape Breton on the Bras d’Or Lakes which is beautiful!!
Come have a tour of the Frolic’n Folk Pub overlooking the Bras d’Or Lake and lets check out some of the fun design features.
The Frolic’n Folk Pub & Grill
Clever detail with making piping into a foot rest and an old piece of cut wood for the drink table. Love when I encounter clever and different design elements. I want to work with people who think like this!
Who you looking at? lol
If your going to have a pub make the details fun that reflect the area, moose hooks, sign posts and local interest items.
Onward to Jill’s Chocolate Cafe
My little pumpkin behind the desk 🙂 … nice Sign for Jill’s Chocolate, lets go!!
Be sure to check out the behind the scenes; chocolate in the making!
Grab your Cafe Mocha & Jill’s Chocolate and head out to the swings to enjoy the view.
Happy Travelling!

I like to promote places around Cape Breton Island, I’m not paid to post this but I do love it here so if your visiting Cape Breton this summer check out the Highland Heights Inn and Jill’s Chocolate when your in IONA, sure to put a smile on your face!
If you have a place of business on the Island that you want promoted let me know and I would love to post about it. If your starting a new restuarant, business or space that requires Interior Design please contact me. It’s never too early to start planning.
