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.

Its an older Inn but very clean and friendly staff. Our niece enjoyed the pool with her 2 kids. We did not like the price per night. Cavendish area is very nice but pricey. Thanks

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.

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

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.

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.
