The room was okay, needs some updating. Shower did not have much pressure. Check-in was convenient and staff was friendly. Location was a bit far from restaurants. Breakfast was decent. Probably would not stay there again.

Room was very small and very dated but convenient for its purposes. Also the breakfast was basically finished by the time I went down at 9am which wasn’t late. I had to ask for items. Unfortunately I don’t think the hotel was value for money.

We checked in and thought our room had a fridge which is needed for medicine. Since there was availability, we were upgraded to a room with a fridge for no charge. We really appreciated it. The room was large and clean. A table and chairs set outside made for a nice evening drink. Breakfast was okay but there were not a whole lot of options. There was a trail nearby and a beach area. Staff were excellent. There is a restaurant next door if you don’t feel like driving. Great place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay. Although Room 17 has a double bed, if two guests are staying then they need to be patient and resourceful in their use of space.

Decor matching the Anne of Green Gables. Not sure if it is an excuse to not renovate. It smell dusty. Breakfast selection was good but we arrived only 20 minutes after the start and a few things were gone already with the only refill being of the hard boiled eggs during the hour or so we were there.

Staff was vey nice and friendly. Tha inn building is in need of repairs/renovation Floors very slanted. Breakfast was not so good, cold. Had ants in room and saw them on buffet table. Probably won't get back to PEI but wouldn't stay there again, too many other choices.

The location was great, very near Anne of Green Gables Park, where we enjoyed the trails. Make sure you walk up to the cemetery, and to the Post Office that has a beautiful display! The location was great, not far to the beach, the dunes and Lake of shining waters. There is a small village nearby with dining options. Try the Turkey place! The staff was really nice and helpful here. Our room with twin beds was adequate and the beds were comfortable.

What a gem of a place! I’m so glad we stayed here! We had a room in the main lodge. The staff were absolutely fantastic about our to Emily! She went above and beyond to tell us the history of the home and even showed us a few hidden things in the inn! The room was absolutely charming and super close to the green gables
