We had a lovely stay here. The host was very calm and kind, just delightful. The room was perfect for us and breakfast was great— the welcome cookies and morning banana bread was an especially nice treat. We have already recommended the inn to our family. Especially for the location. It is a quiet neighbourhood but only a five minute walk to downtown or ten minutes to the harbour. For a walk on the boardwalk around Victoria Park is was only a few steps. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay on our last night on PEI!

This is a very nice B&B. The staff is very friendly and the rooms are very nice. The bed was very comfortable, the towels were thick, the water was hot and plentiful and the room was quiet even though they were booked out. And you’re just a few blocks from the boardwalk and downtown where there’s a plethora of excellent restaurants to choose from. Would definitely stay here again.

Very cute building with a cozy vibe. The room are clean and spacious. With a modern feel while embracing the historical building. Nice parking spaces to the side. Downtown is just a few minutes walk away everything is so close by. And when driving out of town to see the island you don't have to drive through town and other added bonuses to this location would definitely stay here again. Also the owner text multiple times asking what time I was arriving and had my room ready for me even though it was before stranded check in time definitely goes above and beyond to make guest feel welcomed!

This is an amazing place to stay. The owner is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfast is superior. It says it's continental, but it is a full breakfast including delectable baked goods, such as chocolatines, apple turnovers, macha puffs stuffed with raspberry cream, and croissants, made by the innkeepers wife. Scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, potatoes, fresh fruits, yogurt. There's also standard continental selections besides all this. Small touches like umbrellas for a rainy day, or beach towels for a sunny one, tea and coffee all day, and a lovely sun room. Laundry facilities are also on site. It's very close to Victoria Park and Beaconsfield Historic House, as well as short walking distance to Centre of the Arts, St. Dunstan Basilica, Victoria Row, and many restaurants. Its also a pleasant drive from here to anywhere on the Island. I would highly recommend this unsurpassed accommodation.
